My journey and teachers along the way

Trained with Alua Arthur through Going With Grace as an End of Life Planner & Death Doula

Briana (she/her) is a life cycle facilitator, creative, and organizer who is passionate about community care and mind/body/spirit attunement as a vehicle for personal and collective liberation.

My work is anchored by personal practice, intuition, and working directly with clients and families. I’m interested in what possibilities holistic wellness offers us to reimagine transitions at the beginning and end of life, as well as, the lives we get to live in between. I want to ensure my clients are informed and empowered decision-makers with access to fulfilling experiences who can expect safe and healthy outcomes.
