Hi, I’m Bri

After 15+ years of serving individuals and families in the healthcare industry, I am now bringing my services to you. Throughout my career I have helped guide families through the end of life planning process. I have facilitated conversations around death and supported many individuals as they transitioned. Working closely with hospice agencies, leading support groups, training staff, and holding vigil at bedside for the dying have all been humbling and enlightening experiences. These moments, both large and small, have contributed to birth of Journey Together.

At Journey Together, I offer you and your loved ones guidance and gentle coaching as you walk through this time. I am humbled to assist dying individuals in the final stage of this life. Through multiple sessions we work through fears, ideas, concerns, and move forward with peace and a plan. My goal is to help the person feel a sense of control, calm, and acceptance with their time left and their transition. I am an advocate for final wishes and hold space through vigil if needed.

I am dedicated to serving as a conduit to help widen the discussion around death, dying, and what it means to experience a well death.

My Approach

I believe in personalized care. No matter what religion, walk of life, or experiences you have had, I am open to serve you. My services are not only for the terminally ill or elderly, but also those who want to be proactive in planning for their family so that their loved ones are not burdened with hard decisions all at once.

Well trained

I come prepared to serve you with over 15 years of hands on experience with people in the last years/months/weeks/days of their lives.

I have successfully completed multiple death doula trainings and have coached others on how to care for the dying.

Personal experience

In addition to my professional training, I have personal experience of serving as the doula for my dying mother and other relatives. Moving through the dying experience while sharing an intensely close connection to the person, has educated me more than any training. I personally understand what the family member is experiencing as they support their loved one.

What I am not:

I am not a medical professional, legal professional, or healthcare provider. I serve in a supportive role to your personal wishes and needs. At no point do I provide any medical care, offer medical or legal advice, or serve as an individual’s power of attorney/beneficiary/healthcare decision maker. At no time do I guarantee an “issue-free” death. My role is to help organize, consider, plan, communicate and move through life’s final transition. I focus on the emotional comfort of the person and their family while working side by side with the medical support team.
