My Beliefs.
Amicus mortis, meaning "a friend in death", is one who is passionately devoted to helping families reclaim the sacred space surrounding death that our hearts long to experience once more. As we reclaim sovereignty over our lives and collectively remember the old ways of awareness and connectedness to the Earth, we can find healing in our loss.
Beginning with the diagnosis, each patient has a secret inner world. This world is often very lonely. A death doula, or amicus mortis, can help navigate this world and bridge the chasm between the dying and their family to open up beautiful lines of communication and sharing which can foster a more comfortable and meaningful death experience. Less rush, more meaning and confidence. Let’s learn together to make the experience sacred, not a chore. BRIDGE THE CHASM?? Bridge Picture
My Mentorship
For several months, I studied under the mentorship of Jill Schock of Death Doula LA. As a full-time death doula and advocate, her guidance and expertise helped foster a growing skillset so that I may serve the dying efficiently and with ultimate care.
