RN, CHPPN

We can’t always cure, but we can always care… and there is healing in that.

Welcome to my space! I am a palliative care nurse, a gentler of the journey through serious illness. I believe there is soul work woven into the fabric of healthcare, rooted in the wisdom traditions and healing energies of the ages. Nursing enfolds a broad space of knowledge, service, and humanity. I look forward to sharing this work of heart with you.

Available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle, A Nightingale’s Song… Nursing Notes to Gentle the Journey Through Serious Illness, my book born of 25 years of pediatric palliative care nursing practice, companioning so many beautiful souls on the path through the end of a lifetime. Part nursing advice, part memoir, part reflection, it is written for caregivers… for health care clinicians and for those who are called upon to care for a loved one living in the shadows of life-limiting illness.
