Mary's passion for end of life care began at the age of 12, where she would volunteer her summers to being of service in care facilities for the elderly. It was here that many seeds were planted, sprouting her fascination with the end of life process. With an inherent ability to see beyond the veil, Mary has been developing her intuitive skills since the age of five. The calling to become a death doula came with the passing of her grandfather, where she found herself effortlessly slipping into a state of service. Comforting him, loving him, and guiding him encouragingly as he made his way towards the light. It was as if the series of events through which life had taken her, had been a sort of training for this all along. Mary quickly dove in with both feet, becoming a certified death doula, and soon after, volunteering her time in hospice. In her experience, she has come to see the process of death and dying in new, and different ways. Mary has a mission; to rebrand death. Through training other death doulas, to education on grief, as well as The Anam Cara Podcast, Mary is midwifing the rebirth of dying well. In order to rebrand death we must first normalize it. Mary is connecting people to the universe that resides within them, and serving as a reminder that death is here, it is something we get to experience and it is ready to be carried in a new light.
 
​Born with a tendency for “big picture” vision that extended beyond realms, Caili, along with many others, grew up confused by the fear and grief surrounding death. Caili's relationship with death became a way in which she saw out of her suffering. As a suicide survivor she is now sharing that her experience is the beginning of an arduous, uphill crawl towards healing that could commence only by reckoning a single truth: which is to live, and to receive life. Through out her integrative healing process that included deep spiritual study, a masters degree in clinical psychology, and serving a wide range of human suffering in a variety of contexts. She has come to wrap herself around Death in a new way; one marked by honor, reverence, wonder, and gratitude. She has witnessed how fear and a misunderstanding of death, and by proxy, Life, squander peoples opportunities for joy, peace, and fulfillment. Caili choose's to be closer to death by serving the dying, and as an Anam Cara Certified Educator. Sitting with Death has always been about being of better service to the living. Caili believes in guiding others to their own truth of who they are by rewriting their relationship to and understandings of death. The “yes” to become a teacher in this mystery school for this sacred work is the honor of a lifetime.
