Your doulas
Every person who walks alongside you at Before We Go brings their own warmth, skill and way of showing up. There's no wrong door here, just two people who've chosen this work and chosen to do it well. Here's who you might meet.
End of life doula · Narrative practitioner · Systems thinker
Dying, for most people, is hard, uncertain terrain. I support those who are dying, and the people in their inner circle, to navigate this terrain, together or separately. I encourage them to find the words for what matters most, help them shape the legacy they want to leave, and work alongside them to tie up loose ends, so they can meet the end with as much wholeness as possible.
Preparing well to die is a gift you give to yourself, and everyone who loves you.
What I'm most drawn to is shifting how communities understand and relate to death, because getting into relationship with death is how we find greater meaning in life. The consciousness raising and meaning making around dying is the part of this work I love most. It's what gives life its shape. Underneath all of it, I want people to have voice and choice in how they meet the end.
I also write The Hope Dispatch, on narrative, imagination and hope in hard places, because I have discovered that hope is more of a practice than a feeling. And for balance, I moonlight as a director of the League of Live Illustrators.

End of life doula · Advocate for voice and choice
I live on the coast, where the rhythm of the sea has a way of putting things in perspective. My own children span the full range, grown and out in the world, right down to small enough to still need their shoes tied, and I'm a grandmother on top of that. Tending to the people I love, and helping them find their way through whatever life brings, has always been my real work.
Underneath all of it, advocacy is what drives me. I care deeply about making sure vulnerable people get a genuine voice inside the systems that are supposed to be looking after them. It's the thread running through my family, my community, and now this work too.
I'm a hands-on person. No detail is too big or too small for me to take care of, and whatever needs doing, I'll touch every part of it with compassion and patience. Big families teach you that nobody gets through hard things alone, and that showing up consistently matters more than having the right words. As a doula, that's exactly what I bring: a practical, steady presence for families who want someone beside them through a big and uncertain time.
