In 1977, she began her journey into full-time, non‐salaried volunteerism. What initially was a series of simple, idealistic, compassion based endeavors soon transformed into an incredible lifestyle! Over the past four decades, she has initiated and participated in thousands of care giving activities throughout Australia, South East Asia, as well as North and Latin America. Refugee camps, psychiatric wards, substance abuse rehabs, correctional facilities, hospitals, hospices, rehabilitation centers, educational institutions, emergency shelters and medical missions have been but a few of the backdrops for her projects. She currently holds the titles of published author (three books to date), World Laughter Yoga Ambassador, The Rhythmic Arts Project (TRAP) South East Asia Facilitator, Founder and Director of Rhythmaedu (a mixed modality approach to enhancing the lives of adults and children with disabilities,) and Deathwalker with Doulagivers. While her life and abilities are highly varied, her desire to compassionately companion others during their end of life journeys either at home or within medical settings has grown over the years. Through her experiences, training in counseling and life coaching, and with the Doulagivers courses she provides practical, emotional, mental, and spiritual assistance to those and their loved ones in all three phase of end of life. She is fluent in Thai and skilled at bridging cultural needs and practices. She specializes in companioning expatriates and Thai people alike to achieve a meaningful and good quality of life through providing useful information, medical advocacy, translating services, and the ability to navigate often emotionally difficult and confusing medical settings. She assists in funeral, life celebration, and ceremony planning as well as bilingual end of life directives. She facilitates bilingual highly interactive compassionate end of life care courses which include Level 1 of Doulagiver’s community, volunteer, caregiver training. She regularly hosts free to the public “Last Supper” seminars. These meetings are held in a similar fashion to Death Cafés over a cozy meal or snacks with an open agenda to discuss death in a comfortable and safe setting. However, in keeping with Suzanne O’Brien’s vision to freely share valuable knowledge in order that others may learn how to make empowered, informed choices for their lives, “Last Supper” seminars include both teaching and question and answers sections to better reach the needs of the populations served.
