Hello, and welcome! My name is Shannen, and I am a death coach, funeral director, and death educator dedicated to guiding individuals and families through life’s most profound transitions. With extensive experience in both the healthcare and death care industries, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a passion for providing compassionate, informed, and equitable support to those navigating the complexities of end-of-life planning, grief, and estate management.

My approach to death care is holistic, inclusive, and rooted in the belief that every individual deserves dignity, understanding, and equity in their journey. I also embrace a death-positive philosophy, aiming to break the stigma surrounding conversations about death. By fostering openness and acceptance, I help individuals and families approach this natural part of life with clarity and confidence. My background in mental health and addictions, combined with expertise in trauma-informed care, enables me to offer sensitive and personalized guidance, particularly for equity-seeking groups and those with unique needs.

As a lifelong learner, I thrive on sharing knowledge and empowering others to approach death with calmness and practicality. I see death not as an end, but as an integral part of life—a transition that deserves thoughtful preparation and meaningful reflection. Whether you are seeking clarity in end-of-life planning, support following a death, or a deeper understanding of how to navigate these moments with intention, I am here to help.

Coaching and teaching are my true passions. I utilize personalized strategies and compassionate approaches to help others achieve peace of mind and confidence in their decisions. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you embrace this final chapter.

Thank you for considering me as your guide. I invite you to reach out for a consultation or to learn more about how I can support you and your loved ones. Together, we can navigate this journey with practical tools, compassionate care, and the expertise you deserve.
