Where I Specialize
End of Life Strategist & Educator
As a fully trained end of life doula, instructor, and former palliative care aide I have spent over 12 years in end of life care environments. My university education has also focussed on end of life spaces and conversations. I firmly believe that a greater understanding of both the practical and existential elements of care results in a better end of life experience.
I am currently in the process of developing end of life care workshops that explore all aspects of end of life care so stay tuned and consider signing up for my quarterly newsletter.
I am also available for speaking engagements and am happy to contribute to your efforts in educating everyone on death and dying.
End of Life Doula / Companion
End of Life Doulas provide emotional and informational support as you prepare for the end. Applying my creative lens I will help you navigate the many important discussions and choices that reflect your life, your way. It's never too soon to think about the end...
I am currently limited in taking on new clients however I am available for short term end of life care strategizing and education events (see above).
If you are looking for a doula to support you in your ongoing end of life journey I am happy to refer you to one of my valued colleagues.
Non profit Administration & Communication
With over 25 years of communications, marketing and non profit experience, l can help your organization craft the right message and find the people who need to hear it. Connections and correspondence are the keys to building strong communities.
I currently work with an amazing, dedicated team of volunteers at Prairie Hospice Society - Saskatoon's "Hospice without wall". Prairie Hospice Society's goal "is to enhance quality of life at the end of life, wherever people call home. PHS provides one-on-one companionship and non-medical support for clients and their families, raises awareness of end of life issues, educates the community about end-of-life care, and advocates for quality end-of-life care."
Writing
Whether its a quick series of social media posts or a full length research article I am an experienced researcher and writer. I provide honest feedback and quick turnarounds.
