FOR PRACTITIONERS & ASPIRING PRACTITIONERS
Mentorship
Something draws certain people toward death and grief work. It is rarely a tidy calling — more often it arrives as a quiet pull, a recognition, a sense that this is where you belong even if you cannot yet say why.
If you are finding your way toward being a death doula — or deepening within it — mentorship offers a steady, reflective space to explore that path. Not instruction, not a curriculum, but an unhurried container where your questions are welcome, your doubts can breathe, and your emerging practice can be witnessed and tended with care.
"Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull
of what you really love."
— Rumi
I bring to this work my own years of walking alongside the dying and the grieving, my training in Bardo Yoga and contemplative practice, and a deep commitment to the kind of slow, trust-based relationship that this type of work asks for. What I bring is presence, offered across the threshold we share.
THIS MAY BE RIGHT FOR YOU IF
You are training as a death doula and want experienced, relational support to explore your joyful service
You are a practitioner who wants to deepen your capacity to be present with the unknown — in your clients and in yourself
You are building your own practice and want a thoughtful thinking partner for the practical and philosophical dimensions of that work
You feel called to this threshold work but are unsure how to begin — and want a spacious container in which to explore that calling
What we tend together
PRACTICE DEVELOPMENT
We look at how you are structuring your offerings, holding your containers, and showing up at the threshold — and explore what refinements might serve both you and your clients.
AUTHENTIC LIFE EXPRESSION
Drawing on Higher Alignment, we explore how your unique gifts, creative nature, and deepest values can be brought into full alignment with your practice — so that the work you offer is not only skillful, but genuinely and unmistakably yours.
TENDING TO WHAT ARISES
A confidential space to bring what this work is stirring in you — the questions, the weight, the unexpected gifts — and to discern what they are asking of you.
SUSTAINABLE PRESENCE
We tend to the rhythms of rest, renewal, and boundary that allow you to do this work over time without losing yourself in it.
THE DEEPER QUESTIONS
What does it mean to accompany another human being toward death? What does this work ask of us spiritually? These questions are welcome here.

Love notes

Working with Chelsea gave me everything I came to her for, and also much more. She helped me with grief from the loss of a loved one; frozen energy began to process and move. The experience of near and far changed for me—the barriers of time and distance began to lose their grip. Chelsea loves and understands people deeply, and offers help with gentleness and respect.
