About our Founder

Background and Experience
My journey into holistic healing is woven from a rich tapestry of personal and
educational experiences. For a decade, I served as a volunteer counselor with the local
Volunteer Crisis Response Program. This role, combined with profound life events,
has given me a deep understanding of resilience and compassion. These experiences
enable me to offer genuine empathy and informed support to those navigating their
unique paths.
My academic foundation includes a major in Philosophy (Ethics) and Abnormal
Psychology from Western Wyoming Community College, crucial for bridging
spiritual and psychological healing. I'm currently expanding my expertise at the
Southwest Institute of the Healing Arts, delving into spiritual coaching, grief and loss
counseling, and End of Life services.

Journey to Becoming a Death Doula
A transformative experience that shaped my path was a five-year journey supporting a
close friend diagnosed with severe COPD and lung cancer. This deeply personal
experience not only provided invaluable insights into navigating terminal illness but
also ignited my calling as a Death Doula.
During this time, I assisted my friend in managing his affairs, navigating the complex
healthcare system, and making crucial care decisions. More importantly, I ensured he
wasn't alone in his final journey, offering emotional support, companionship, and a
comforting presence during challenging moments. This experience deepened my
understanding of the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those facing life
limiting illnesses and their loved ones.
The profound impact of this experience led me to pursue formal training as a Death
Doula, enabling me to offer specialized support to individuals and families navigating
end-of-life transitions. It also inspired me to create grief and loss support groups,
recognizing the vital need for community during times of bereavement.

Recent Work in Compassionate Support
In my recent work, I've had the privilege of guiding individuals through some of life's
most challenging transitions. A particularly poignant experience involved working
with a client who had lost her adult son to suicide. This heart-wrenching situation
required a delicate balance of compassion, understanding, and practical support.
This experience reinforced the importance of providing long-term, holistic support for
those navigating profound loss. It highlighted the need for a compassionate, non
judgmental approach that acknowledges the complexity of grief and the unique
journey each individual must take towards healing.

Facilitating grief and loss support groups
In my practice, I blend ancient wisdom with contemporary therapeutic techniques to

being and quality of life. Such transformative experiences fuel my passion for this
work.

Personal Values and Philosophy
At the core of my practice is the belief that every individual possesses innate wisdom
and the capacity for healing. I see my role as a guide, helping clients reconnect with
their inner selves and unlock their potential for growth and transformation. I'm
dedicated to fostering a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their
deepest fears, hopes, and aspirations.
I approach each interaction with empathy, respect, and profound reverence for the
human experience. My philosophy is grounded in the understanding that true healing encompasses all facets of our being - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. This holistic perspective is particularly valuable when working with individuals who have faced significant life challenges, as it allows for a comprehensive approach to healing and empowerment, addressing the whole person rather than isolated symptoms.
