As a former hospice volunteer and end-of-life doula, Fawn is passionate about educating others on the benefits of confronting one's mortality and normalizing end of life conversations. In her 20's, Fawn read two books that inspired an interest in how to live a more meaningful life by normalizing death. Those books are: On Death and Dying and The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. The former is the original theory of the five stages of grief and the second, a practice for how to care for and show love to the dying.
As her journey progressed, her curiosity deepened into a desire to conceptually and experientially understand death, loss, grief, and their impact on the vitality of our lives. Fawn has studied Buddhist psychology and practiced meditation for over 25 years and in this time, continues to find indispensable the qualities of openness, curiosity, compassion, courage, and kindness as outlined in those studies, hence setting the pace for how she intends to move through the world.
Fawn is the lead consultant for Denouemant, which provides concierge end-of-life planning services for high net worth individuals and family offices.
