END OF LIFE DOULAS · LIFE CELEBRANTS · WELLINGTON, KĀPITI & ONLINE
Before We Go offers compassionate end of life support for people who are dying, and for the people who love them – across Wellington, the Kāpiti Coast, and online.
Yet it’s often the conversation we’re least prepared to have.
At Before We Go, we believe that talking about death doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It can be empowering, healing, and deeply human.
Whether you’ve just received a diagnosis, you’re supporting someone through the final weeks or months of life, or you simply want to plan ahead before you need to, we’re here to walk alongside you with thoughtful, compassionate, and practical support.
We don’t take the journey for you.
We simply make sure you don’t have to walk it alone.
You want to feel supported, not managed. To have someone sit with you in the hard conversations, help you surface what matters, and make sure your wishes are known and honoured.
You want to show up well for someone you love, but you don’t always know how. A doula can help you navigate the uncertainty, so you’re not carrying this alone.
You don’t have to be dying to think about dying. Legacy work and end of life planning are gifts you can give yourself, and the people who will one day be beside you.
It shapes itself to what you actually need. Here’s what you can draw on with Before We Go.
Being alongside you — not fixing, not advising, just genuinely there.
Helping you capture what your life has meant, and the things you haven’t yet found words for.
Walking through the conversations that matter, before crisis forces them.
Helping families communicate, navigate difficult dynamics, and show up for each other.
Being present at or near the time of death, so no one has to be alone.
Designing moments that mark what matters, with beauty, intention, and care.
Workshops and conversations that build a different relationship with dying.
Thoughtfully curated tools to support the journey, for individuals, families, and care settings.
Before we go, we turn toward what matters most.
We honour the life we’ve lived, tend to what remains unfinished,
and gather up the threads of a life so that little is left unsaid, undone, or unshared.
Every person who walks alongside you at Before We Go brings their own warmth, skill, and way of showing up. Here’s who you might meet.
I bring warmth, presence, and a deep respect for the stories people carry. I see our end of life as a place where we can bring our creativity to bear, allowing us to do it in a way that feels authentic. I love creating resources to support people navigate the end, their way.

I am a serial entrepreneur, a grandmother, a mother of five, a daughter, a sister. Tending to the people I love, and helping them navigate the complexity that life brings, has always been my real work. I have a gift for lifting what’s heavy, and staying steady in the moments that ask the most of us.
