Craniosacral Therapy FAQs
-
I have an awesome description of craniosacral therapy on my Services page. Check it out!
-
Wear something comfortable like sweatpants, gym shorts, yoga pants, leggings, long or short sleeve shirts, sweatshirts with no hoods are more ideal as I’ll need access to your neck.
Additionally, craniosacral is very relaxing which means your body will cool down. If you’re a person who tends to feel cold; long pants, shirts and socks would help to keep you warm.
-
Currently, I only work with children ages 10 or older. This will change in the future when I have more experience and knowledge in working with younger children, babies, and new borns.
-
Totally fine! Just let me know and we can slowly get you up to do so.
-
This is completely normal. You will be supported and honored during this time. Whether you’re laughing, crying, or needing to shout out, I’ll hold space for you to move through whatever emotions that may surface.
-
Yes.
-
Whatever happens I will hold space for you, and honor what you need in that moment. It’s helpful for me to know what your triggers are beforehand. Whether it’s touch on certain areas of your body, smells, sounds, or anything else.
There is a section on my intake form that you’ll receive by email before your appointment. You can list any triggers there, and we can also talk about them when you come in for your appointment. -
Yes. If you have a wheelchair, walker, an assistant to help mobilize you, or prosthetic limbs please let me know before our appointment.
Those with prosthetic limbs, you’re welcome to remove them or keep them on during session. Whatever you’re comfortable with. I’ve been told it feels good to get the areas where the prosthetics attach worked on.
If you have any other medical gear that you feel I should know about, please let me know. This includes internal and external gear. -
Yes. I feel being inclusive and accepting of others helps to amplify the healing space I offer to my clients.
-
Absolutely! Just be sure they’re wearing the proper gear so other patrons know that they’re your service animal.
-
I’ve had clients do this in the past. You’re welcome to do so if needed. Although this can effect your ability to relax and let go. Kiddos are curious and will most likely be asking questions and wondering what we’re doing.
For children, they’d have to be in the room with us during your appointment. Therefore, bring something to keep them occupied so you don’t have to entertain them during your time on the table.
New borns are generally fine with being in the treatment room. It’s quiet and dimly lit. If they wake and need to be fed, changed or held, you can do so on the table during treatment.
Death Doula Care FAQs
-
A death doula (also known as an end-of-life doula) is a non-medical professional who acts as a bridge between the medical world and the emotional/spiritual world. They aim to support their clients and loved ones as they navigate the dying process by advocating for their clients, collecting resources and information, listening, and much more.
Death doulas hold space for conversations, emotions, and ritual while helping to ease fear and bring meaning to this sacred transition.
-
To hold space is to listen to and be with another person in present moment awareness with no agenda. To offer quiet, kind attention to whatever comes up for the other person in the moment.
-
I completed my End-of-Life Doula training in 2024 with INELDA, and learned a lot from the teachers and students in the class. Although I am new to this field, I very much look forward to learning, and growing through this work with my clients.
-
Anytime. Some people connect with a doula after receiving a terminal diagnosis, others when a loved one is actively dying, and some families seek support in early grief. The sooner a doula is involved, the more continuity and calm can be brought to the process.
-
Hospice focuses on medical necessities and physical comfort at the end of life. A death doula focuses on emotional, spiritual, and logistical support. They work alongside hospice teams—never replacing them—to provide an additional layer of care that centers the human experience of dying.
-
Services may include emotional support, guided family conversations, comfort measures for the dying, legacy projects, vigil planning, and after-death care planning. They also offer grief integration and ritual support after death, depending on each family’s needs.
Check out the Services page for more information.
-
Yes, they can even collaborate closely with hospice teams. Doulas can spend extended time with clients, fill in emotional gaps, and help create a peaceful environment that reflects the person’s values and wishes.
-
Doulas help with immediate logistics, such as contacting home funeral guides or coordinating memorials, and also continue to support loved ones through early grief. Which might look like reflective listening, ritual, creative expression, or helping families integrate the experience of loss into daily life.
-
Currently, most doula services are private pay. However, sliding scale options are available when needed, and community-based support too when possible. It is important to make end-of-life care accessible and compassionate for all, regardless of financial status.
-
Connection is key. A complementary consultation makes for a good introductory meeting to discuss your needs, beliefs, and communication style. The right doula will make you feel seen, supported, and safe to express your truth.

Because death is not a medical failure—it’s a human experience. Every person deserves to die with dignity, intention, and connection. My role is to bring compassion, education, and presence back into a process that has been pushed down and hidden from us.
Also, I was inspired to do so by my sister, Brandi, who passed away in 2009. I had the honor of holding vigil at her bedside during her transition and death. After a few years, I felt the pull to assist my community in this process. It’s a human right to feel seen, held, and heard throughout the end of life, and in through death.
-
Death doulas don’t only serve the dying- we serve the living too. Many people seek out for support in exploring their relationship with mortality, planning for their future care, or learning to live more intentionally by acknowledging that life is finite.
I can help you create an advance care plan, write legacy letters, or design personal rituals that honor life’s transitions. Some people simply desire a safe, compassionate space to talk about death, loss, or change conversations our culture rarely makes room for.
Working with a death doula before death arrives can bring surprising peace, clarity, and freedom in how you live right now.
