I specialize in Geriatrics but embrace everyone that needs End-of-life services. From the underprivileged, communities of color, LGBTQ, as well as homeless, disabled, and all faiths, and in this, I aspire to always learn & grow.
My holistic services embrace mind, body & spirit. Part of comfort and pain relief can also be working with the gut/brain as a unit. Ultamitally, I try to incorporate the senses of hearing, touch, vision, smell, and taste in all my services offered
