I am committed to helping people look at issues around death and dying--look at their fears and learn about their options. I am a hospice volunteer and certified as an end-of-life (death) doula. (This involves spending time with the dying and with their families, and helping them prepare for the coming passage, including legacy projects and planning end-of-life vigils.)

I helped create the Great Circle Collaborative in Madison, which held monthly Community Conversations about Death and Dying, for over five years. I am always interested in creating more opportunities to further these conversations.

I am available to speak with people who have concerns about their own situation, and to sit vigil with the actively dying.
