Infertility & Pregnancy Loss Support
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.

Individual and family peer to peer grief support guidance, that is provided during the grieving process through compassionate care, grief education, identifying personal and spiritual strengths while also developing coping and self-care techniques to seek hope.
As a social worker for 25 years, I’ve had a passion to care for those with a terminal illness in their home as well as facility settings. The past 13 years has been directly working with hospice patients as a liaison, social worker and bereavement counselor. I have been blessed to be a part of the end of life journey for many patients; provided the patient and family members with anticipatory grief support, and then the honor of being at bedside as they passed away.
I also have experience working with and supporting patients who choose Our Care Our Choice (OCOC) Medical Aid In Dying (MAID) process; providing the patient and their family members and anticipatory grief support prior to ingestion, and then follow up grief support provided to the family.
