About

Hi! I am Carla, the owner of A Venerated Death: End of Life. I am Death Doula & Midwife, Home Funeral Guide and Funeral Celebrant. I received both of my End of Life Coaching & Death Doula certifications through my course work with the Conscious Dying Institute in Boulder, CO. I also studied under Olivia Bareham from Sacred Crossings in LA, where I was given the wisdom and tools to help advocate and support families wanting to give their loved one the sacred art of a home funeral and after body care. I also received my Funeral Celebrant Certificate through my course work with Olivia as well.

I am currently a volunteer at Denver Hospice where I continue to learn and expand my understanding and experiences working with the dying. This work and the wisdom it holds is a life long journey for me. It is important that I continue to broaden my learning, education and knowledge in the Death Doula field.

I host a monthly Death Discussion and a Parent Loss Grief Circle for individuals like myself that have lost a parent in their 20's and 30's. I am passionate about normalizing the topic of death and dying in our everyday conversations. I have sat at the bedside of many people in their final days and it is my hope to help bring death back to its scared place through my End-of-Life Care Services. I meet people within this part of life with a presence of non-judgment, support and a human vulnerability.
