ONE TO ONE SESSIONS
Death Doula Support
Death is the one journey every one of us will take. And yet most of us arrive at it unprepared — not because we lack the capacity, but because our culture rarely offers us a space to explore it honestly, tenderly, and without fear.
A Grief Companion and Death Doula is a steady presence for the liminal spaces — those profound in-between periods where the familiar has ended and the future is not yet clear. My role is to serve as a grounded and spacious container for these crossings, whether they are initiated by a terminal diagnosis, the anticipated death of a loved one, or a quiet inner call to prepare.
"Death is like taking off a tight shoe."
— Ram Dass
By exploring ancient and modern understandings of life and death, we begin to see that the end of a physical form is not the end of a connection. Those who are willing to look at death clearly are often the ones who learn to live most fully.
THIS SUPPORT MAY BE RIGHT FOR YOU IF
You or someone you love is facing a terminal diagnosis and wants non-medical, spiritual, and emotional companionship for the journey ahead
You are anticipating the death of a loved one and want guidance in how to show up, be present, and honor the threshold together
You feel a deep pull toward exploring your relationship with mortality — not from fear, but from a desire to live more awake
You are curious about what happens after death and want a spacious, open container in which to explore the unknown
What we explore together
SPIRITUAL PREPARATION
We explore what death means to you — your fears, your hopes, your questions. Together we practice for death in the present moment, so that when the threshold nears, it is not a stranger.
CONTINUING RELATIONSHIP
We recognize that the end of a physical form is not the end of a relationship. We use dreamwork and intentional attention to tend to living threads of connection with those who have transitioned.
PRACTICAL TENDING
We attend to the architecture of daily rhythms — ensuring that rest, nourishment, and presence are supporting both the dying and those who love them.
INTUITIVE INQUIRY
I offer a calm, perceptive mirror — asking questions that help you tune in to your present-moment experience and find the internal resources you already carry.
RITUAL & LEGACY
We explore what remains unfinished, what wants to be said, and what you most want to carry forward — creating space for completion, expression, and peace.

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.
