Some callings find you gradually. Mine arrived through nearly thirty years of quiet preparation — long before I had a name for what I was becoming.

I began studying energy work and spiritual practice in 1997 under a gifted mentor whose guidance shaped everything that followed. When she passed in 2022, I found myself in Boulder — and in the most significant transition of my own life.

What began as grief became direction. I entered a rigorous multi-year program of spiritual and energy work training at Psychic Horizons Center in Boulder — a non-denominational spiritual center founded in 1994 — and was ordained as a non-denominational Licensed Minister. Today I continue as a staff teacher at PHC, where I co-lead the Tuesday Healing Meditation and teach classes in healing and clairvoyance.

Alongside this, I found myself drawn into assisted living and memory care facilities — first as a companion, then as something harder to name. Families began telling me their loved ones were calmer in my presence. A woman in her nineties started asking me her deepest questions about what lies ahead. A clinical psychologist stopped me in a hallway and said: I could have used you last week.

I listened to what these moments were telling me.

In April 2026 I completed my end-of-life doula training through INELDA — the International End-of-Life Doula Association — adding formal structure to what had already become my vocation: accompanying older adults and their families through the final chapter of life with presence, clarity, and sacred depth.

I am also a member of Jubilate Sacred Singers, bringing sacred music as a volunteer to senior homes in the Boulder area — because beauty matters, especially at the threshold.

Before this chapter, I spent years working across Colombia, Canada, and France — guiding organizations through complex transitions. That world taught me how to remain grounded and organized inside chaos. This work taught me something that world never could.

I have sat with families whose relationship to death is shaped by Catholic devotion, by Judaism, by Buddhism, by Indigenous cosmology, by secular humanism, by grief that has no tradition at all. I do not bring a framework. I bring presence, and I follow your lead.

I work in English, Spanish, and French — and bring deep intercultural understanding to families from many backgrounds and traditions.

I am an INELDA-trained end-of-life doula, a non-denominational Licensed Minister, and an energy work practitioner with nearly thirty years of practice and formal institutional training in Boulder. I offer a small number of deeply engaged clients my full presence.

I am based in Boulder, Colorado. I work in person and, for select services, online.
