My professional background spans palliative care, aged care, multicultural services, and local government, I have spent over twenty years supporting people through life’s transitions and exploring how we build and nourish community. I have worked and volunteered in the end-of-life space since 2021.
I believe that genuine human connection, a sense of belonging, and mutual support are what truly sustain us. I see death as an integral part of life, and believe that by turning towards it together, we can find the courage to show up for one another in ways that truly matter. Dying was never meant to be faced alone, by families in isolation or by medical systems. I am passionate about reimagining how people, families, and communities prepare for - and care through - the realities of caregiving, dying, and grieving.
Whether I am working with a large organisation or sitting one-on-one with an individual, my approach is grounded in deep listening and care. I work gently and collaboratively, guided by what matters most to you, at your pace.
