For nearly two decades, I built custom prosthetic limbs and orthopedic braces, helping people adapt to life after injury, illness, and significant change. That experience taught me something that extends far beyond healthcare: people don't just need solutions, they need someone who can help them navigate uncertainty with compassion, patience, and a clear plan. Today, as the founder of Dawn of Aging, I help individuals and families move through life's biggest transitions with confidence instead of chaos. Whether you're supporting aging parents, facing difficult family conversations, organizing decades of paperwork and possessions, preserving cherished memories, or simply trying to prepare before a crisis happens, I'm here to help you take the next step. My role isn't to tell you what to do. It's to walk beside you, helping transform overwhelming situations into manageable plans. As a Certified End-of-Life Doula, Swedish Death Cleaning Coach, educator, and family transition guide, I believe that preparing for the future isn't about focusing on death but about creating more peace, more connection, and more confidence in your care and legacy.
“One of my favorite parts of this work is helping families uncover the stories hidden inside photo albums, handwritten recipes, military memorabilia, and keepsakes tucked away in closets and drawers. Every family has a legacy worth preserving, and every conversation had today becomes a gift for someone tomorrow. I also understand what it's like to be the person everyone turns to for answers. Many of my clients are adult children balancing careers, families, and the growing responsibilities of caring for aging parents. Others are older adults who simply want to get organized, reduce stress, and make life easier for themselves and those they love. Wherever you are on that journey, you don't have to figure it out alone.
Through my signature educational workshops, caregiver planning sessions, legacy projects, and transition coaching, I help families replace uncertainty with clarity and overwhelm with peace of mind. My philosophy is simple: the best time to prepare for life's transitions is before they become emergencies. A few thoughtful conversations and practical steps today can ease tomorrow's burdens and create more space for what matters most. Living well, loving deeply, and leaving your family with confidence instead of confusion. It would be an honor to help you and your family navigate whatever comes next.
