This work teaches deep connection and reciprocal presence, what I call Nature Connection.

For Memory Care & Assisted Living Communities

In rooms where time moves differently, we gather around the language of plants.

These aren't classes in the traditional sense. They're invitations to touch, to smell, to remember what the body knows about beauty. We pot herbs with hands that have forgotten many things but remember the feel of soil. We arrange flowers not for perfection, but for the pure joy of creating something lovely together.

What We Explore:

- The stories plants tell through fragrance and texture

- Hands-in-earth creativity that honors fine motor skills

- Shared moments where conversation blooms naturally

- The steady rhythm of growth, without rush or judgment

- There are no outcomes here, only the dignity of being seen and the quiet magic of tending together.

Currently offering classes twice monthly in six local communities.

Here, Soulful Stewardship comes alive by tending life with care, attention, and ceremony.

Tending Life Wherever It Grows

Eleven indoor gardens across New Jersey elder care facilities, plus an outdoor community garden where seasons teach their fullest lessons. These are living sanctuaries where I show up not just to water and prune, but to listen.

To the plants that need attention. To the elders who stop to watch. To what each space is asking for.

This is relational work. The indoor gardens become conversation starters, mood lifters, living reminders that beauty can take root anywhere. In the outdoor community space, I tend fruits, vegetables and herbs that feed local children in need, connecting the cycles of growth to the cycles of care.

From institutional hallways to open soil, the medicine is the same: what grows here nourishes beyond itself.

This work reminds me that:

- Tending Earth is always communal

- Beauty and sustenance can bloom anywhere

- Every plant, like every person, thrives with gentle attention

- What we give in care returns tenfold

This is Legacy Care in practice…guiding transitions with dignity, story, and ritual.

Walking the Sacred Threshold

As a hospice volunteer and death doula, I offer something our culture often overlooks: the understanding that dying deserves the same creativity, care, and reverence we bring to birth.

My approach includes:

- Advance care planning conversations that honor your values and wishes

- Vigil support and sacred space creation for families

- Legacy projects including story gathering, memory books, and Legacy Closet sessions.

- Breathwork + plant medicine for easing transitions and managing anxiety

- Presence that honors the sacred unfolding

- Grief support that extends beyond the moment of death

- Connection to community resources, including my thrift initiative (Mutt’s House) honoring my late grandmother that transforms belongings into end of life care for others

My death doula work is about tending the whole person and their loved ones, by helping create the conditions where a good death becomes possible, where stories are preserved, and where love continues to flow even as physical presence transforms.

A container for slow remembrance…tea, memory, grief, cycles and community

Monthly Tea Circles for Slowing Down

Coming Soon

You know the saying: "You can't pour from an empty cup." But when did you last sit with your cup long enough to notice what it truly needs?

Once a month, we gather to tend our cups, not to fill them with more doing, but to remember the art of being. Through herbal teas chosen for the season, we explore what it means to slow down in a world that's forgotten how to pause.

These aren't workshops or classes. They're circles. Spaces where we can set down the rush and pick up the rhythm of tea steeping, of breath deepening, of remembering that we belong to something slower than our schedules.

Each gathering includes:

- A seasonal herbal tea infusion and its story

- Gentle breathwork for nervous system support

- Time for the kind of conversation that only happens when we're not rushing

- Practices for carrying slowness into daily life

Tea circles begin in Fall 2025. Limited to 6 participants to preserve intimacy.

This is Legacy Care in motion, turning beloved items into meaningful support for the dying.

A Curated Shop for a Compassionate Future
Mutt’s House is an online thrift initiative named in honor of my grandmother, Myrtle Reeves, affectionately known as Mutt — a woman whose sass, love, and warmth shaped my path. Every item is hand-selected with intention and story in mind. Some are gathered through my own seasonal wanderings. Others arrive through Legacy Closet sessions.

It helps fund the heart of my work: sitting bedside, offering respite, and tending grief with care and presence.

You might find:

Earth-toned layers

Worn denim

Herbal books and handmade baskets

A well-loved vintage purse

Simple things. Still full of life.

Each item carries a story and by rehoming what’s already here, we slow down the cycle of consumption, reduce waste, and soften our impact on the Earth. This is circular care and slow living in practice: choosing what lasts, honoring what was, and tending the future with every offering.

Mutt’s House is a dream in motion.
One day, it will be a physical space: part hospice, part home, part community. A place where people can come to rest, grieve, remember, and be cared for with tenderness.

Until then, this little online thrift with its mix of useful, beautiful, and joyfully unexpected goods is planting seeds for that future.
