Welcome
So glad you're here!
Altars and Ashes
I’m excited to welcome you to Altars and Ashes, a place where all can experience the transformative power of art and aesthetics as a tool for life. My vision is to offer resources, tools, guidance, unique gifts and bespoke experiences to help navigate the sacred thresholds of life, including death and loss.
​
As an end-of-life doula, my role involves offering a range of services to support individuals and families navigating the end of life. I can facilitate planning end-of-life preferences for comfort and care, providing emotional support and guidance when facing loss, as well as caring and informed assistance throughout the journey.
I'm delighted to offer my studio as a collaborative space for creating ceramic or biodegradable urns, sculptures, and memorials. Through this beautiful medium of simple clay, we can foster connections beyond words to commemorate each life's unique portrayal. I would be honored to help you bring forth your own untold story.
What We Do
Creating a lasting legacy for your loved ones is a beautiful way to honor their memory. We understand how difficult it can be to choose a cremation or burial piece, and that's why we offer a unique and meaningful way to participate in the selection as a creative and collaborative process that is both personal and significant. Let us help you honor your memories and create a lasting legacy that you will cherish forever! Additionally, thinking about end-of-life is often easier with the right tools. Our Legacy Vision Planning service can help create an end-of-life plan that details the desire to experience completion, happiness, and fulfillment in your final months and weeks of life. We would love to assist you in this important process.

"Once you love an art enough that you can be taken up in it, you are able to experience an echo of the great creative act that mysteriously has given life to us all. It may be the closest any of us can get to God.”
