Hello, I’m so glad you’re here, both literally & figuratively~

You’re here, You’re alive! Yes, YOU! and I hope to some degree doing well. My name is Stephanie and while my life’s works has always centered on helping people live well, recently I completed five months of course work and studies to become an End-of-Life Coach & Death Doula.

Now a few months beyond this most illuminating time, I’ve come to realize I am a Life & Death Doula. I see clearly just how many of my life’s experiences, threads and gifts were always leading me to this sacred work.

What I’d most like you to know is this: The study and practice of befriending Death has brought me to Life in ways I never thought possible. Not “back” to Life, to IT.

I have spent decades in hospitality and wellness; have certifications in three yoga lineages, I am a reiki practioner, a writer, an adult adoptee, a formerly fostered youth, an artist, a mother, a friend, a sister, a wife - an extraordinarily ordinary human- with much passion and many loves-

Perhaps you can relate?

I know too, you have been touched by death, so acutely and profoundly that you now carry its grief in your bones, within your truest wisdoms.  

In my work as a Life & Death Doula I help clients feel seen, supported and nurtured. We work together to build a roadmap of priorities and wishes for care and legacy. Our time together helps bring clarity and peace of mind to the present, no matter where you are in your life’s journey.

As with most things in life, we can best prepare and plan for the certainty of death by talking about it, reflecting on it, preserving it and sharing it with the ones we love. So that the great African proverb “When death finds you, may it find you alive” might ring true.

So please, I invite you to follow the threads of your curiosity and Self, to Unshroud the Dark so that you might live more fully in the Light of your Life.
