I was born and raised in Switzerland and came to the United States in the mid-nineties, to do volunteer work at Gurumayi Chidvilasananda’s Meditation Ashram Upstate New York. I moved to Southampton, where I raised my three children. Once they were independent my passion turned to teaching Yoga and building a career as a Birth Doula. I found much satisfaction and gratification in this work, and I’ve been told that my presence during one of the most challenging life experiences has brought peace, joy and comfort to the families I’ve worked for. After a decade and a half of Birth work, as I approach my 60th birthday, my focus once again expands. I’ve been interested in the End of Life for years, and in many ways everything I’ve done in my life up until this point was in preparation for this work.
