Frequently Asked Questions

    • Whenever you are ready to get real about your mortality! Ideally, we meet well before a crisis is at hand. I think everyone over 18 should meet with an EOL doula to get their plans in place, because we do not know the time or the hour.

    • When you are concerned about how to best support a loved one who is in decline.

    • At any point you find yourself in the end-of-life space and in need of guidance and support.

  • No, I do not, nor would you not want me to!

    Two exceptions:

    • I do offer clarity on Catholic teaching about bioethics, an area that is fraught with misunderstanding, and I happily direct you to true experts in these matters.

    • I am trained to provide guidance on non-medical comfort measures.

  • I am deeply rooted in my Catholic faith, and I bring a prayerful presence to our conversations and time together. I have a special interest in exploring anticipatory grief, and a soft spot for people who are entering their final chapter alone.

  • No! I genuinely love meeting people where they are, and I do not push my faith. I share, if invited, but I think it’s important for potential clients to know that my Catholic faith shapes my understanding of the human person, my reverence for each person I meet, and my prayerful approach to working with clients and families. Additionally, my experience of God is the source of my hope! As St. Therese of Liseux said- and I paraphrase - in dying, we really begin to LIVE.
