End Of Life Practice
My Story
My journey in the deathcare field began as a resident aide in a memory care unit. I cherish the memory of my first encounter in a room filled with hospice staff and a family embracing each other while singing songs over their 101-year-old loved one – it was a touching and transformative moment.
Following that experience, my dedication to end-of-life care grew, leading me to expand my knowledge to better serve in my role as a resident aide. Since then, I have worked as a hospice CNA, accompanied the dying with my dog and trained as a death doula.
My
Experience
Over 15 years of caregiving experience
In my years of experience in healthcare and caregiving, I have had a variety of roles. From working with adolescents experiencing eating disorders to my time as a hospice CNA serving those dying. And all of the other experiences in over a decade, they have all been so important on my journey.
Associate Degree in Occupational Therapy
As an end of life doula, my education in occupational therapy has been invaluable. I have knowledge and skills to adapt and individualize care. Through my training, I gained a deep understanding of the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. I learned how to provide compassionate care and support patients and clients, as well their loved ones.
