About Me

Just as a lantern provides a guiding light in the darkness, Beacon of Hope offers compassionate guidance and support to individuals and families navigating the challenging terrain of end-of-life. As a Certified End-of-Life Doula with LifeSpan Doulas, a proud member of the National End-of-Life Doula Association (NEDA), a proud member of the International End-of-Life Doula Association (INELDA),  and working towards my End-of-Life Doula Professional Certificate at the University of Vermont (in progress),  I am here to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and understanding during this profound journey.

How My Credentials Inform My Care

My Lifespan Doula certification grounds my work in practical, evidence-based guidance for clients and families. It equips me with the tools to provide calm, confident presence and clear communication through every stage of the dying process.

As a member of the National End-of-Life Doula Alliance (NEDA) and the International End-of-Life Doula Association (INELDA), I adhere to national and international standards of care and ethical guidelines that ensure dignity, inclusion, and integrity in every interaction. These memberships keep me connected to vibrant professional communities committed to continuous learning, advocacy, and expanding access to compassionate end-of-life support.

My University of Vermont End-of-Life Doula Professional Certificate deepens my understanding of grief, spirituality, and cultural perspectives surrounding dying. The program’s integration of medical awareness, emotional care, and reflective practice strengthens my ability to hold space with compassion and faith while collaborating with families and care teams to bring peace and meaning to the final moments of life.
