The Doula Experience was established to address significant gaps and challenges in end-of-life care. I recognized the necessity for a more inclusive and compassionate approach to end-of-life services, especially for underrepresented communities. This organization was built with a commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), ensuring that these services are both accessible and culturally relevant for diverse populations.

The mission of The Doula Experience transcends basic care; it seeks to promote greater understanding and acceptance of the dying process by offering both emotional and practical support, whether via advance care planning, emotional and spiritual guidance, or practical assistance. Through tailored services, community education, and specialized assistance for vulnerable groups, I aim to bridge the gap between people's preferences for end-of-life care and the reality they often face—passing away in medical facilities rather than at home. This initiative was created to honor these personal wishes, facilitate open conversations about death and the dying process, and enhance access to dignified, person-centered care.

My commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices, such as natural death-care and green burials, reflects my dedication to preserving the environment while respecting the natural cycle of life. I strive to create a peaceful and meaningful experience for both the dying and their loved ones, ensuring that every moment is filled with love, respect, and tranquility.

After dedicating 19 years to the funeral industry and serving as an insurance agent, I felt a profound need to make a positive impact. My aim is to ensure that individuals and families comprehend the importance of planning for end-of-life, enabling informed decisions "Pre" the time of actual "Need."

Through my works, I carry forward my father's legacy, using it to illuminate the way for others during their most vulnerable and darkest moments. In doing so, I keep my father's memory alive, honoring him in the most meaningful way possible—by assisting others.
