MY SERVICES
When you work with me, you have the opportunity to foster personal strength and find authenticity with supportive, compassionate guidance tailored to your needs.
Funeral Celebrant
Together, we create a meaningful farewell for your loved one - funeral, memorial service, graveside ceremony, witnessed cremation, living wake, celebration of life - so you can focus on what matters most: honouring the deceased and making space for your grief.
End of Life Consultant
I stand alongside you and your family during life-changing transitions such as serious illness, palliative care, active dying and after death care. Experience peace of mind, knowing that my advocacy for you works towards your personalised wishes being understood, respected and fulfilled. This includes end of life paperwork such as an Advance Care Directive, and personal messages and memories you want to leave behind in an Emotional Will.
Drawing Yourself Home
Use artistic expression as a gentle tool to process deep emotions. Sessions are created according to your needs and tailored for specific circumstances, including painting your own shroud or coffin.
Writing Yourself Home
Find comfort and release through written expression. I guide you to create writing to support you emotionally. This includes poems, stories, life histories of someone you love, and personal tributes to honour your grief journey.

- Death DoulaA death doula, also known as an end-of-life doula or death midwife, is an “informed companion” who empowers and supports individuals and families to navigate the end-of-life process. They fulfil a gap in the care team, acting as advocates who provide emotional and practical support. Death doulas have the capacity for deep listening, opening up conversations about death and prompting the client to reflect on their life. This can include writing letters, creating legacy projects, preparing for death and reflecting on their life. They can also aid with funeral planning, client education and referral services such as coordinating with palliative care, hospice and social workers. Death doulas have no medical background or training and do not perform clinical or medical tasks. Doulas can work with clients daily or weekly, and the relationship might span several years. Depending on their scope of practice and experience, additional services might include things like energy healing, massage, meal preparation and assisting with legal paperwork.Training provided by Preparing the way
