​It's a true pleasure and privilege to share inner resources that I have found helpful in my forever evolving and continuously unfolding journey with life, death, grief and loss.  

​

I truly believe that everything is more sustainable when we work together and there are some fabulous folk paving the way for doing life and death differently. I have found the work of so many inspiring and immensely comforting. Everyone knows something we don't and I trust that within these external resources, you find some gems too.
