Bringing Light to Life’s Most Important Conversations
Every family faces serious illness at some point. When that time comes, we often feel lost and scared. We don’t know what questions to ask or what comes next. As a certified Death Doula and Hospice Nurse, I help families find their way through these difficult times with clarity and hope.
I speak at events, on podcasts, and give educational talks. We work together to share practical knowledge that helps families feel confident during hard times. My approach is simple: medical topics don’t have to feel scary when we explain them with warmth and care.
How We Can Help Your Audience – In person or Virtual
Real Experience, Real Heart
With years of hands-on experience in hospice and palliative care nursing, I understand both the medical and human sides of serious illness. I’ve walked alongside countless families during their hardest moments, and we’ve learned together what questions matter most.
Clear, Gentle Talk
Medical words can create fear and confusion. We work together to translate complex medical ideas into language that makes sense, helping your audience feel informed instead of scared. Every presentation focuses on hope, preparation, and the belief that families can face anything together with the right support.
