Ordained Minister in Sublimity, Oregon
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
Becoming an ordained minister online complements my role as an end-of-life death doula in several meaningful ways. Conducting ceremonies, officiating memorial services, funerals and other end of life ceremonies, providing a more personalized and compassionate experience for families. Offering spiritual support for those seeking guidance or blessing as part of their end-of-life journey. Providing a more holistic approach to spiritual support, as well flexibility and accessibility.

I’m from the Pacific Northwest and have lived in the foothills of Sublimity Oregon for over 30 years.
