Grief Educator, 2022
INELDA training completed, 2021
Services Offered
I was drawn to be a grief educator after working with those grieving in faith communities over the last 12+ years as a pastor. Following the death of my beloved grandfather in 2021, I started to volunteer with hospice and became an End of Life Doula in order to help individuals and families live their final days with honor and dignity, leaving behind a legacy that is the truest reflection of their hearts. All of these pieces o the journey came together to lead to becoming a grief educator to walk with people through and beyond death.

End of Life Doula
I am a grief doula providing peer to peer grief support. After leaving my corporate job I moved to Europe and lived in Germany and Switzerland while becoming a 500hour yoga teacher. I taught in several studios in Bern until my life changed suddenly when my husband was diagnosed with brain cancer at 36 years of age. I became his full time carer until his death in 2020.
As my husband died during my child bearing years, I realise that I would not have biological children in this lifetime. In more recent years when I discovered I was unexpectedly pregnant, I was thrown into the world of motherhood and possibility. Unfortunately, I suffered a missed miscarriage, which lead to expectant management and a D&C. After losing my husband and baby I have found purpose in being of service to others.
During my husband’s illness I explored many spiritual concepts and teachings. After his death I have studied a range of different topics to equip myself to serve others who find themselves facing a terminal illness, as carers, or in grief.
I hold space for those currently in liminal space whether that is due to a death, divorce, separation, pet loss, miscarriage and any other loss. Holding space for the little losses as well as those that change our lives in every way possible. I will sit in the rubble with you and hopefully we can start rebuilding together when you are ready.
All sessions are currently held online.

Certified Facilitator, “Poetry as a Tool of Wellness.”
Certified Grief Educator #105336, David Kessler and grief.com
Services Offered
I am the editor of “Voices of the Grieving Heart,” an anthology of poetry, short essays, and artwork contributed by 83 people whose loved ones died. You can order the book from your favorite bookstore, or you can buy it from Amazon.
Poetry has a unique ability, even more than journaling, to help the bereaved feel witnessed. So often, we who are grieving the death of a loved one lack the words to describe what we are feeling and experiencing. In reading poetry by others, we can find ourselves in others’ experience. Their words give voice to our pain when we are unable to find our own words.
Writing poetry–perhaps with support at first– allows us to create a mirror on the page in which we can more clearly see ourselves and clarify what we are feeling.
I offer two different workshops:
1. Educate professionals who work with the grieving on how to integrate the use of poetry into their practice.
2. Work directly with a group of individuals, providing exercises and facilitation t help them begin the practice of writing poetry to express themselves without the strictures of normal writing or even journaling.
