Your Life-Cycle Celebrant & End-of-Life Doula
Meet Marguerite
For more than eighteen years, I've dedicated my life to helping individuals and families bridge life's most significant transitions. My spiritual path and my background in estate planning and family conflict mediation and as Life-Cycle Celebrant and End-of-Life Doula have led me here to create personalized ceremonies and community rituals that remind us of our shared humanity.
My work is rooted in helping people honor the transitions that shape their lives acknowledging what is ending, welcoming what is beginning, and finding presence in the space between. Whether celebrating a new marriage, navigating the tender landscape after a divorce, or thoughtfully honoring a life at its end, I create ceremonies and moments of reflection that help you move forward with clarity, grace, and intention.
The Unconditional Presence You Need
We will spend time together reflecting on what your commitment means to you as individuals and as a couple. I want to truly understand your journey, your values, your love story. We will co-create our ceremony.
