As an End-of-Life Doula, I am also here to support you during life's most challenging transitions.

Client Praise

  • "What I love about Sandy's facilitation is the artistry that she brings to it. Like a performing artist, she instinctively knows exactly when the room needs a gear shift! She brings a clear, discerning mind and guides the participants to shift between words and a feeling heart/body. Her use of song brings joy into the room. She leads difficult dialogue with grace. Her preparation for the day was thorough and astute."

    Esther Ouray, zAmya Theater Project

  • "I've had the pleasure to work with Sandy on many projects, and she is phenomenal through and through. She is a masterful facilitator, collaborator, and uses her experiences in the arts to bring creative and playful techniques to her work with partners. Another thing that I would emphasize about Sandy's approach is that she is a deep listener, has the ability to "read the room," and she responds in real-time to achieve the best possible results for her clients. Her sessions are always fun and engaging--melding body, mind, and heart."

    Nancy Plaskett, Executive Director, PIE Org

  • "Sandy is such an inspired and gifted facilitator. Her leadership lifts the experience of our group, helps us more fully process and embody the content, questions and topics we are engaged with. She brings joy, authenticity and the healthy perspective that the best facilitators bring to a group's work."

    Dan Poffenberger, Leadership the Way

  • "Sandy helped our team think out of the box and incorporate movement, art, and dialogue into our staff retreat. We wouldn't have had as much success (or fun!) without her thoughtful facilitation and will definitely be inviting her back!"
