I didn’t set out to create the impermanent human. It was born in the quiet, fragile space between my mother’s final heartbeat and her final breath.
For years, I built a successful corporate career — helping people and organisations grow, developing leaders, managing global projects. Later, I stepped into coaching and training, guiding hundreds of people to work, lead, and live better. I thought that was my path.
But life offered me something different.
A few years ago, I helped care for my mum in her final days. I was there when she died. That moment changed me forever. I felt the depth of grief, the unimaginable pain of loss, and — over time — the slow, tender process of healing. I saw how vital palliative and hospice care can be, and how powerful it is to simply sit in conversation and companionship with the dying and their loved ones.
I often say my mum gave me two gifts: my life, and her death. In the darkness of grief, I found meaning and purpose. Since then, I’ve trained in grief coaching, palliative and hospice care, and am now completing my end-of-life doula training.
I speak about life and death because I want people to embrace the power of impermanence — to live fully, to meet the end of life with readiness and peace, and to grieve with self-compassion and love.
Now, I walk with others through the spaces between life’s heartbeats.
