Reflection
Courageous Journey’s
Courageous Journey’s is my passion project dedicated to assisting individuals and communities in preparing for end-of-life. As a Death Doula, I create and hold space, conduct informative gatherings, and lead ceremonies to educate and guide others on their journey of integrating death as a part of life.
What is a Death Doula?
A death doula, also known as an end-of-life doula or death midwife, is a nonmedical trained professional who provides emotional, spiritual, and practical support to individuals and their families nearing the end of life. Their role is to offer guidance and companionship throughout the dying process, aiming to create a more peaceful and meaningful transition.
My purpose as a Death Doula is to empower individuals and families, bringing compassion, presence, and ceremony to the space of death, dying, and grief.
What I offer as a Doula
Educational Gatherings
I organize a variety of educational tea parties focused on the important and often overlooked topics of death and dying. These events offer a safe and supportive space for open dialogue and learning. Examples of my offerings include:
- Creating Your Own Funeral
- Green Burials
- How to Nurture Your Grief
- And more
To stay informed about upcoming gatherings, please check the calendar on the community page. Each event listing includes a detailed description, location, and pricing information to help you plan ahead. classes generally range from 30-50$
Any of my classes can be given one on one in person or on zoom. I can also set up a personal tea party for you, your friends, and family to have a fun and educational experience at home.
For a personalized educational tea party please email me.
Death Nesting
Spiritual Guidance
Spiritual Guidance
Death nesting is the practice of preparing oneself mentally, physically, and spiritually for the transition. I listen to your needs, wishes, and desires to help create a space where you feel most comfortable. We can discuss topics such as the distribution of personal belongings, how to say meaningful goodbyes, and any legacies you wish to leave behind. As a death doula, my goal is to support both you and your family, helping you navigate this sacred time. I just as well offer the role of a nest guardian where I can sit with you when your family isn’t available to provide companionship and comfort.
I charge 80$ for an initial consultation where we can meet and discuss your needs and formulate a plan of action. The price of the plan will vary depending on your needs and length of time that I am needed. To have a general idea I charge 50$ an hour. I do have priced packages you can request through email. My main goal is to ensure that you and you family are supported during this difficult time and price is always something that can be discussed.

Spiritual Guidance
- guided meditations and journeys - I craft mindful meditations and guided journeys to help individuals reflect on the subject of death as so to give meaning and purpose to one’s life. Any meditations that I offer to the community can also be done one on one and be personalized for one’s individual journey.
Please message me if interested
- ceremonies- the word ceremony means sacred. It is my belief that in our western culture we have lost touch with our rights of passage. I believe ceremony can be a useful tool to acknowledge endings and begins. I create spaces to hold ceremony for communities and individuals to embrace these sacred moments of life. Please check the calendar for community events or reach out to create your personalized ceremony together.
- retreat- I am working on creating a retreat for those that are wanting to explore their grief. Please continue checking the calendar for updates.
