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!

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.
