Zoë Kosovic

I'm here to offer a comforting and empowering presence, supporting you in reflecting on your life and cherishing each remaining moment. I equip individuals with tools to navigate the dying process with dignity and agency.

Many of my roles are practical in nature, alleviating logistical burdens, and allowing individuals to be present to their lives, and their loved ones to focus on grieving.

I offer education on death and grief and advocate for dignity in end-of-life care, including support around medical assistance in dying (MAID). I collaborate with clients on legacy projects to honor and preserve memories.

My background in bodywork and yoga allows me to provide exceptional hands-on care and mindfulness techniques.

Trained through Diaspora Psychedelic Society, I facilitate psychedelic care to ease end-of-life anxiety and promote a sense of peace and meaning.

It is my great privilege to serve at this sacred threshold.

Brittney Williams

My name is Brittney. I am a fearless, powerful, spiritual educator, and writer who liberates and inspires others to live an empowered life and die a dignified death.  As a Death, Transition and Grief Doula, Reiki Practitioner and Educator I honor the sacred act of transitions and death while also creating educational opportunities that are centered around grief, death, and liberation.

After losing three close relatives in a short amount of time, I knew I wanted to birth a tangible space that provided people with grief, transition and death care that was culturally responsive and fostered liberation. I wanted to create a space that provided a variety of supports and outlets for those who want to live well and die a dignified death. Ultimately, I want people to live, die and rest ABUNDANTLY. From this vision I created the Ubuntu Wellness Space!

Susan Reis

As a death doula, I am dedicated to supporting individuals and their loved ones through the most spiritual act, death. Death is the ultimate transition, transformation, and invitation into the great mystery. I intend to help others enter with grace. 

I am a trained death doula from Death Wives, a trained and active conscious dying and grief volunteer with the Living/Dying Project, and a trained and active hospice volunteer with VNS hospice services in New York City. 

Outside of my death doula services, I am a meditation teacher, psychosynthesis coach, and archetypal and evolutionary astrologer. I believe in non-dogmatic psycho-spirituality that is inherently healing in its embrace of presence, felt sense, the transpersonal, interpersonal connection, and our own inner wisdom. Importantly, I personalize my services to each individual’s beliefs and traditions. 

I’d be honored to walk along this journey with those dying or losing a loved one. I offer end-of-life pre-planning like death education, compassionate guidance, legacy work, and support in navigating emotional or logistical challenges; death and dying companionship services like compassionate support, advocacy, mindful meditation guidance, reiki and energy work, emotional care, space to explore spiritual or death curiosities, and bedside vigils; and pre- and post-loss grief support for loved ones and caregivers. I offer these services on a sliding scale to be accessible. Please reach out at susanreis@thecyclicalseed.com or find me at www.thecyclicalseed.com

Kristin Barrett-Anderson

I am a Reiki teaching master, a minister, a ritualist and a museum director. I received my Death Doula certification from University of Vermont's esteemed Professional and Continuing Education Program.
I am constantly learning, networking and finding ways to better serve those who are contemplating end of life.
I believe that we are all connected and that energetic connection is the meaning of life and our purpose is to honor that connection through understanding and compassionate empathy.
We are here on earth FOR each other.
The intention of "Bring Death Home" is for families, loved ones and people journeying through end of life to face their time on their terms. While dying at home may be reasonable for some, it is not for others. "Home" can be a hospice, nursing or home-setting. The important part is being where you want to be. You choose.

I feel privileged to support people through life's last transition and love creating rituals leading up to and after a person's passing to give their family and loved ones a sense of peace and closure.

Elizabeth Anne Wood, Ph.D, is a sociologist, writer, educator, and death doula in Queens, NY. She completed end-of-life doula training with Going with Grace, and earned the University of Vermont’s End-of-Life Doula Certificate. She is NEDA-proficient. 

Elizabeth provides compassionate, nonjudgemental, companionate care to individuals and their circles of support, whether they are facing a new life-limiting illness, nearing death, or simply wanting to make end-of-life plans while still healthy. 

Elizabeth envisions a society in which we acknowledge that death is the only outcome of a well-lived life (or of any life)! By accepting the fact that we are all going to die, we can claim greater authorship over how our lives and our stories unfold, all the way to the last breath and beyond. 

Elizabeth’s motto: Every life is a story. The end matters!
