My journey into end-of-life care began in a deeply personal way. Starting in the winter of 2018, I spent four years caring for my sweet mother, beloved aunt, and dear old dad as they each faced the challenges of dementia, Alzheimer’s, and the natural aging process. Alongside my sibling, I served as a Care Companion, advocate, and facilitator of Advanced Care Directives. I worked closely with social workers, physical therapists, nurses, emergency room personnel, hospital staff, and hospice teams. When it became time for end-of-life care at home, I assisted with administering medication, personal hygiene, turning to prevent bedsores, and keeping loving vigil.

​

This hands-on experience inspired me to formally pursue end-of-life work as a professional calling. I have completed the End of Life Doula training through INELDA (International End of Life Doula Association) and am certified as an EOLD through IAP Career College. My academic foundation is in Human Services, with a bachelor’s degree from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. I also hold certifications in Hatha Yoga, Nosara Yoga, and Kundalini Yoga—modalities that continue to inform the compassionate and mindful presence I bring to my work.

​

Peaceful Journey Doula was born from a desire to offer others what I was once searching for—a grounded, reliable guide during one of life’s most vulnerable transitions. My goal is to be a trusted resource in the community, a kind of "road map" for individuals and families navigating end-of-life care. And if I’m ever unable to meet your needs directly, I’m always happy to refer you to one of my trusted colleagues.
