HELLO, MY NAME IS VANESSA. 
I AM AN END-OF-LIFE DOULA, COMMUNITY DEATH EDUCATOR, AND HOME FUNERAL GUIDE.

I teach individuals, families, and communities about death and dying, legacy projects, community-led funerals and after-death care, green burial options, and more. I work with individuals to create an end-of-life plan, which can include comfort measures, advance plan advocacy, vigil and companionship, and assistance with client/family/health care provider communication. I am committed to compassionately serving 2SLGBTQIA+ clients and members of other underserved communities.
Whether you are planning for the end-of-life or just want to become more comfortable talking about death, I am deeply honored to walk alongside you during this phase of life.

“If you would indeed behold the spirit of death,
open your heart wide unto the body of life.
For life and death are one,
even as the river and the sea are one..”
– kahlil gibran
