My aim is to redefine the narrative surrounding end-of-life care, promoting understanding, comfort, and the creation of meaningful legacies. I stand strong and firm as an advocate for a compassionate and dignified transition, honoring the uniqueness of each person's story with empathy, respect, and a open-hearted commitment to helping individuals and their families face this inevitable part of our shared human experience.

Hi, I’m eli.

I am here to guide, support and serve you on this journey. I have been surrounded by death since a very young age, but this chapter truly began for me in my early thirties.

I was thrown deeply into this sacred space when my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, metastasized to her brain and lymphatic system. She was only 54 years old. I was the oldest of 3 siblings. My younger sister was living in another state at the time and my brother was only 19 years old. There was no hesitation in moving her in with me and my family.

I became her full-time caregiver for the final 6 months we would have with her. This short season was simultaneously one of the most cherished, challenging and terrifying periods of my life. The immense feelings of joy that serving and supporting my mother through her transition brought me helped to pierce through the great sadness I felt in losing her. I realized that this would be my calling to serve in this life. I hope that you allow me to serve you and your loved ones as we support a communal space of purposeful and artful dying.
