I’m from Hawaii, living on the island of Maui. I've been involved with end-of-life care for over 20 years having been deeply affected by losing my mom to cancer when I was 19. I was a hospice worker, and am now using my experience as an End-of-Life Educator & Mentor. I support people who have experienced loss or are caring for someone who is dying. I empower them to honor the dying experience and tend to grief so that they can prepare, understand, and integrate it, and live the full range of what life has to offer including joy, love and inspiration. I teach a 7-week live online course called ‘What Matters in the End’ on death, dying and grief. Attendees finish feeling empowered and more engaged in life, and prepared for their own death. I also work one-on-one with clients. I'm a Certified Thanatologist and member of the Association for Death Education and Counseling (CT #18176)
