I created Map Your Care to help change the culture of how illness, dying and grief are talked about in our society. Coping with these parts of life is challenging enough–we don’t need the additional stigma of a taboo approach! Through the use of creative approaches that celebrate connection above all–like narrative, nature and mindfulness-based interventions–I can help you live your fullest life, no matter what your path looks like.
Whether you're ready to dive right in to some tough conversations or feeling intimidated and skeptical, I'm here to meet you where you're at. Together, we can navigate any fears you or your loved ones might have and help align your life to reflect what truly matters to you.
Whether you're joining us on a guided hike, an Earth altar workshop, or interested in eco-friendly options for your funeral or memorial service, Map Your Care leans into the cycles and lessons we find in nature for a truly connected experience.
We have far more similarities between us than differences! Map Your Care honors the unique differences in all of us and seeks to highlight the strengths of different cultures and perspectives. These differences only enhance our understanding of illness, dying and grief expressions.
My passion for working in healthcare and with those at end of life started from when I was young. My mom was a hospice nurse and growing up, I can remember her making calls to patients and families at all times of the night. We volunteered at children’s bereavement camps together each summer, and her continued compassion for others is something I’ve proudly absorbed.
While I’m fortunate to still have my mom with me, I’ve now counseled many who unfortunately can’t say the same. Grief and Illness hits us all differently, and my social work education helps me to see both the beauty and challenge of this and be able to pivot to support you in a way that you need most.
I’ve been companioning those with illness for over 8 years, with 6 years as a hospice social worker. I’ve dedicated my entire professional career to this work, and enjoy leaning into some of the toughest conversations most of us will ever have.
A lover of all things outdoors, I spend most of my free time savoring the smallest moments of beauty that nature provides. I enjoy camping, backpacking, hiking, biking, a good picnic, and finding the most beautiful Colorado sunset spots.
