After two decades in traditional healthcare and education, I found my calling in private practice, where I could fill essential gaps and provide compassionate care. Here in Michigan, the calming presence of water and the rhythm of the seasons serve as gentle reminders of life’s cycles and the importance of honoring each person’s unique journey through end-of-life care.

​

As an occupational therapist, doula, and educator, I provide offerings in reiki certification, end-of-life matters, and coping with grief. I also provide advance planning, companionship and direct care for families and clients before, during, and after death.

​

I am the founder of the Blue Water Doula Collective and have trained as an end-of-life doula with the Dying Year, as well as a funeral guide with the Death Midwife. I take pride in being a member of the National End of Life Doula Alliance and the National Home Funeral Alliance. I am also passionate about volunteering as a board member with The Evergreen Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting non-medical end-of-life services.

​

With a background in occupational therapy and a focus on building stress resilience and well-being, I bring warmth, empathy, and professionalism to my work. In our beautiful state, the Great Lakes remind us of connection and healing. I am dedicated to supporting you through this journey, ensuring that you and your loved ones feel valued and cared for during any profound transition.
