Meet our Team

  • Stephanie Crawford is a hospice nurse, yoga teacher, and death doula serving individuals and communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. After four years of working in the hospital setting, Stephanie experienced a startling confrontation with her own fear of death that prompted deeper inquiry into her relationship with mortality. In 2020, she began working as a hospice nurse and death doula, supporting individuals and their loved ones through end of life. Stephanie is passionate about facilitating educational and contemplative spaces for deeper exploration around the topic of mortality. She believes in a world where death is no longer feared, but rather embraced as a wise teacher and sacred part of life.

  • Jen has been a hospice and vigil volunteer for 7 years. She is a trained End-of-Life Doula with her own private practice, Doorways, LLC. She is honored to companion patients and their families during this most intimate time. Jen wants to normalize conversations about death to help ease fear and anxiety, allowing you to live well until the end.

  • Willow is an INELDA trained End-of-Life Doula, a Hospice & Vigil Volunteer and Home Funeral Guide; weaving joy and love into all that she offers. Willow understands that awareness, information, communication, compassion and loving support are essential for our wellbeing as we transition through the end of life process. Willow provides grounded, graceful, practical guidance while sharing her peaceful presence with both the dying person and those who love and care for them.

    Willow is also a lover of nature and delights in assisting people with their research and arrangements for earth friendly end-of-life options such as Aquamation (water/alkaline hydrolysis), Terramation (earth/compost) and Green Burial; joyfully assisting people with end-of-life plans that best meet their unique needs and desires.

  • Ann is a hospice volunteer, INELDA trained End of Life Doula and Death Cafe facilitator. Through her facilitator role she has embraced the idea that we’re always 'near death’. Ann is gifted at leading authentic conversations while maintaining humor — acknowledging our own fragility, and holding space for others to process their mortality and that of their loved ones. She believes that talking about our fears of death and dying can help us be more connected to each other and to all the life and death around us.
