Cindy Harris
My role is to guide and support the dying. I specialize in death planning which includes finding a legal contact to prepare a reasonably priced Will, Enduring Power of Attorney and Personal Directive, and discussion of funeral plans and ideas. With my 30 years of experience in the medical field, I can guide my clients through the very confusing healthcare system. The other area I enjoy is Legacy Work, for example, capturing a life through letters or clothing made into a comfort pillow.

As a Death Doula, I provide compassionate support not only for those who are dying but also their loved ones. It is a privilege to help others transition peacefully.

Kym Nacita
I work with individuals who have chronic pain/illness, life-limiting illness and/or other health-related experiences, and their families. The main question I ask is "what do you need to make life a little easier?" and work from there. No need is too great to be beyond discussion; from helping write advanced directives, transitioning someone to long-term care, or even gardening. Everyone deserves the time and effort to be cared for.
