Dying,

Is an art, like everything else.

Thoughts on Diversity

The Little Death Witch, LLC. works to serve a diverse community of individuals at the end of their lives. Creating and preserving receptive, inclusive, and equitable spaces lets genuine human connections form allowing for authenticity and peace in death and in grief. I invite all those involved in each unique case to join me as I embark on the process of expanding my understanding of our commonalities and differences. As a doula I remain committed to:

  • Respecting the dignity and essential worth of all individuals, 

  • Fostering mutual respect, including respecting the privacy, property, and agency of others, 

  • Examining and challenging our own biases and beliefs, 

  • Promoting the diversity of opinions, ideas, and backgrounds which enriches our culture

  • Standing against bigotry, discrimination, violence, or intimidation,  

  • Working towards an inclusive and equitable spaces that fosters an environment of respectful dialogue,  

  • Appreciating diversity and inclusion as a collaborative work-in-progress.

Thoughts on the Land

As a witch and doula living and working in the Denver/ Boulder metro areas, I believe it is important to take some time to recognize the Indigenous peoples as the original stewards of the land, water, plants, and animals who called this place home. The land in which I live, work, play, and practice my craft are the ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Nations. This area was also the site of trade, hunting, gathering, and healing for many other Native Nations: The Lakota, Ute, Kiowa, Comanche, Apache, Shoshone, and others.  

 

I also acknowledge the painful history of genocide and forced removal from this territory. I respect the many diverse Indigenous peoples still connected to this land. I humbly pay my respect to them and give thanks to all Tribal Nations and the ancestors of this beautiful, magical place.



Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming,

‘Wow! What a Ride!’
