“Doulas are usually associated with the creation of life, offering support, help and advice to women during pregnancy and childbirth.
As a death doula, Annie deals with the other end of the spectrum, assisting people in their final days.
“Birth and death aren’t so different when you think about it,” she explains.
“They are the two most intense moments of life for us and our loved ones.”

“ANNIE ALWAYS SHARES SUCH WISDOM AND SIMPLICITY IN HER WORK. I ALWAYS FEEL SAFE, GROUNDED AND HEARD AFTER A CHAT, AND ANNIE TEACHES ME TO ALWAYS LOOK IN AND FIND MY ANSWERS. IT’S VERY EMPOWERING!”

Annie and I met in 2017. I was studying Art Therapy and Annie was our trainer in the final modules. Stepping into Annie's classroom, I experienced a calm, centred and reflective space. Annie has this remarkable presence - a combination of vitality, exuberance, generosity and quiet composure.
In the last couple of years, Annie has been my mentor and good friend who has 'my back' and supported my new direction as an art therapist whether it is in private practice or working for Foundation House etc. Annie holds space for her friends and clients that completely enables one to feel safe, respected and with unconditional positive regard. Her experience as a death doula, counsellor and art therapist is underpinned by universal values of love, respect and care of the earth. She is also an amazing artist and musician. Such a pleasure to know her.
