What services do you provide? End of Life Support, Advanced Care Planning
Languages spoken: English, German
When it comes to death, dying and grief, no two people and no two experiences are the same. Together we can explore, understand, plan, and document what is right for you.
I am convinced that we can live – and die – better once we accept that our lives will eventually come to an end. We then have the opportunity to ensure that we remain aligned with our beliefs and values – even and especially when we can no longer fully advocate for ourselves.
Why work with me?
Non-judgmental: There are no right or wrong answers or attitudes.
Non-denominational: Religious? Spiritual? Atheistic? On the fence? Welcome.
Inclusive: Supportive of all ages, all genders, and all neurotypes.
Multi-cultural: Aware and understanding of different cultural backgrounds.
Strength-based: You know you’ve got this – but you do not have to do it alone.
Background and Focus:
I trained as an end-of-life doula at Claudia Cardinal’s Sterbeammen Akademie in Hamburg, Germany and with the Australian Doula College. I am a mother, a Lifeline crisis support worker, and a palliative care volunteer.
I am passionate about Advance Care Directives — this is legal documentation that ensures that our decisions regarding future medical interventions are respected, as well as those regarding accommodation, company, spiritual support, and after-death care.
Drawing on many years of Berlin-based movement and bodywork practice, I facilitate embodied Death Cafes and Mortality Workshops.

Deep, non-judgemental listening and witnessing
Death literacy, incl. resources, information and referrals
