Death & Dying

I offer practical, emotional and ceremonial support for individuals and families preparing for, moving through, and living alongside death.

My work is about creating space for what matters: connection, choice, dignity and love. Whether death is expected or unexpected, at home or in hospital, surrounded by family or held more privately.

I have a particular interest in expected death, home funerals, Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD), and pregnancy and baby loss.

I work alongside existing medical, palliative care and funeral professionals where appropriate. My role is non-medical: to support you and your family with presence, preparation, practical care and ceremony.
