Born and raised in the Midwest, I knew early on that I had a deep desire to help people through meaningful connection. Life took me to Portland, Oregon for graduate school. However, completing a graduate program during the a pandemic was confusing, to say the least. Following a burning desire for connection in a time that shunned it, I turned to wild animals for respite.

While the world was sleeping in 2021, I dove head first into an animal communication mentorship with Kristen Houser of Fauna Speak. I desired nothing more than quiet meditation time out in nature with wild animals and a small group of humans to share in this experience with. What I got from those few months with my animal communication cohort was far more than I could have ever hoped for. I began to understand one of my gifts - being with animals as they die. Shortly thereafter, I dove into a companion animal death doula course with Sacred Crossing in Los Angeles. It was then that I knew I wanted to commit myself to working with animals. I practice trauma informed care, and my work is highly influenced by the grief work of Francis Weller and Daniel Foor.

I currently work with animals in various capacities. I provide services in animal communication, end of life logistics and planning, ceremony/memorial creation, and in-the-moment death doula services. I am also a Certified Pet Care Professional.

I look forward to working with you.
