Christi's path to becoming a Death Doula began long ago with a deep-rooted fear of her own death. This fear once held her back from truly living and led her down a reckless path, challenging her to confront mortality head-on. In her late thirties, after one such act of recklessness, she had a near-death experience that profoundly impacted her. From that moment, she embarked on a journey of freeing herself from the fears that had stifled her up to that point.

 

After many years of peeling away fabricated layers of her personality, and understanding her true spiritual nature and truth, Christi became her mother’s caregiver. It became the single most sacred experience of her life. Sharing with her mother the years that ultimately led to her death impacted Christi deeply and stimulated her to explore becoming a Death Doula.

 

There were so many profound and beautiful shared moments. These created an incredibly strong desire to make a career of it. Over the 4-year grief period following her mother’s passing, Christi explored the emotions and regrets she felt.

Her compassion and understanding for what people experience at the end of life deepened. Once she was free from the suffering, she became an INELDA-certified Death Doula.

 

Christi has a unique way of connecting with people of all ages.

She truly sees the spirit inside each individual and guides them based on their level of comfort. Love, respect, connection, and compassion often come instantly, and the bond is formed.

Christi can guide children, adults and families into tranquil acceptance of the final chapter of their lives and help them find soulful peace.

 

Christi feels strongly that her gift in guiding individuals through the end of life is an art form; and that she is here to create beauty for those she works with. In close connection to her clients and families, she shapes the process based on their needs and deepest longings as they move through the dying process. Rather than one-size fits all, Christi knows that no two dying experiences are the same and each requires respectful attention to what is needed most.
