“Dying should be one of the great events of life”
- Alan Watts
Death is a part of life. If you or someone you love is facing end of life you know how scary and overwhelming it all can be! Let me take the burden from you so you can focus on what matters most in your final months, weeks or days. Helping get your paperwork together, creating a legacy for your loved ones, or just being present I can help you have a Good Death and allow you to leave this world at peace.

Restoring Light:
A Daylong Retreat
December 13, 10-4:30
Reden Yoga
219 Arcadia Ave, Columbus Ohio
This special gathering is for those who have encountered loss (that's 100% of us) and need a space to heal, breathe, move, and simply be.
Join Elizabeth and I as we weave our way through the difficult emotions, tired bodies, and hurt hearts to restore a sense of lightness and belonging. We will lead a small group through healing practices designed to bring about wholeness. No yoga experience necessary.
Let’s Write a Death Plan
January 14th 6:30-8PM
The Be Sanctuary
3360 Tremont Rd Suite 230/240, Upper Arlington, OH 43221
We may not all know when or how we will leave this world but we can still plan for the inevitable. The greatest gift you can leave your loved ones is having as many questions answered for them as possible.
So let’s work out the practical, emotional, and spiritual needs and wants of our end of life so no one has to be left scrambling at a highly emotional time.

What my clients are saying
“Nikki has been a gift to me and my family. She has given good counsel and advice. She also helped us with our will. Highly recommend Nikki to help with anything related to death, mourning, or grief. She makes hard decisions manageable..”
— C.S.
“Nikki guided me through the overwhelming and sometimes uncomfortable task of approaching elderly loved ones about their end of life planning. I feel more prepared for the business side of things, so that there is more space for the emotional side of things. Nikki is such a valuable resource for helping me to put feelings into words and meaningful actions. It is nice to have a knowledgeable guide through some of the most difficult times in life. Nikki makes a tough topic easier to approach and process.”
— M.L.
“Nikki is deeply committed to helping others, experienced, prepared, and most importantly- compassionate.”
— L.L.
Nikki is an incredibly compassionate and versatile Death Doula. I wish I would have contacted her sooner after the terminal diagnosis instead of struggling against intrusive thoughts about mortality on my own. While her wheelhouse is humans she was very accommodating in discussing the upcoming (and then the actual) loss of my beloved dog.
