Vigil Sitting
Peaceful, attentive presence at the bedside during the active dying process. No one should leave this world alone — and no family should carry that vigil entirely by themselves.

Understanding the Role
A sacred companion for life's most profound passage.
A death doula is a non-medical guide who walks alongside the dying and those who love them. I help you navigate the practical, the emotional, and the spiritual — so that this time can be as full of meaning, dignity, and peace as possible.
Death is not something to be rushed, medicalized, or feared. It is a natural and sacred transition that deserves to be witnessed, honored, and held with the fullness it deserves.
My role is to help you meet it with presence, clarity, and care. Whatever you need — I am here.

About Jacob
I believe death is one of life's most sacred teachers.
I came to this work because I am passionate about sitting with people at the edge of life. In my experience, those who are closest to death are also closest to something profound — a kind of wisdom that is rare and irreplaceable.
I want to be the person who shows up for that. Who doesn't look away. Who holds space for those navigating the most sacred transition of their lives, with full presence, compassion, and care.
I completed my training and certification through the Conscious Dying Collective, where I developed the skills to support individuals and families through every dimension of the dying process — practical, emotional, and spiritual.
I serve clients in the Denver and Boulder area and am honored to travel anywhere when the fit is right.
