Christine’s Story:
I have always had an intuitive connection to the human body, energy work, and the death process (both physically and spiritually). I embrace a heart-centered nonjudgmental approach to working with my clients.
After graduating from the New York College of Health Professionals, I became a New York State Licensed and Nationally Certified Massage Therapist with an emphasis in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Caring for my mother and father and my personal experience during the pandemic is what inspired me to discover a career that aligned with my heart and ultimately became an End of Life Doula.
I currently facilitate multiple Death Cafés in the Las Vegas area. My goal is to empower people to discuss their thoughts and explore their feelings surrounding death and dying in a safe environment.
A graduate of Doulagivers International, I am also a proud member of the National End of Life Doula Alliance (NEDA), Home Funeral Alliance (NHFA) and Holistic Chamber of Commerce. I founded the Southern Nevada Death Doula Collective (SNDDC) and am a member of the Doula Co-op of Nevada. I am also a volunteer at a local hospice in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Holding Space Las Vegas is LGBTQ+ friendly. Diversity and inclusivity are core values and are of the utmost importance.
"As a death doula, I am here to remind people that dying is not a medical event but a sacred human experience. Modern end of life doulas are pioneers on an ancient path."
