Private 1-on-1 Ask A Death Doula Anything Session

Got questions about death and dying, and other things related to death literacy but don't know who to ask? Increasing one's own death literacy is so important as part of the death positive movement. However, this can lead to a host of other problems:

-I don't want to go out and buy a bunch of books (or even know which ones to buy and frankly will I have time to read them?)

-When I google my questions there are too many websites that pop up, so how do I disseminate all that information? How do I know which ones are credible?

-I've got questions and don't know who to ask.

-I'm too embarrassed to ask people I do know fearing that I'll be judged.

-I've asked questions and people don't know the answer.

Solution:

Ask me, a certified death doula in a safe, non-judgmental space to ask questions, and get the timely answers you need.

My philosophy is "There are no dumb questions, only questions that need to be answered."

Pre-submitted questions are welcome.
