Death, dying and making meaning of life has run through my personal and professional life for over fifteen years. I work as a Death Doula (or End of Life Doula, terms used interchangeably) supporting people with their practical, emotional and spiritual needs as they come to end of life. I have many years experience in the children's palliative care and counselling sectors, underpinned by an innate holistic curiosity for how society, nature and the individual interact to shape our most profound experiences. How we navigate life, the universe and everything can be understood through many lenses, and it is my deep belief that education and conversation around death can offer our communities wildly more than improved funeral planning.
