To tend : to give close, faithful attention to something living. To stay near. To return again and again, not to fix or force, but to notice, to adjust, to care.

Life can be fragile, confronting and disorienting. Big life events -the loss of a loved one, a serious illness, burnout, or other challenges- can destabilize your sense of direction and meaning. Sometimes there is no clear cause. You simply find yourself feeling lost.

In case you are seeking one-on-one guidance, a space to grieve with others, or help marking a significant moment through ritual, I am here to help. As a trained spiritual caretaker, I work with the deeper questions about meaning, purpose, and how you want to truly live.

Through my work I aim to honor the inherent vulnerability that being alive brings about.
I believe that this vulnerability can lead to tragic events, but is also often the source of unexpected beauty.

Tending Life is a practice for mental and spiritual wellbeing. Guidance is offered through counseling sessions, grief circles, and rituals.

Tending Life carries a wider mission: to bring more space for grief, meaning and ritual into society.

I am always open to collaboration with anyone who identifies with this mission: including artists, researchers, activists, facilitators and healthcare workers.
