Lila (she/they) received her End-of-Life Doula certification from Douglas College in the spring of 2021 and soon after completed training from Hospice & Palliative Care Ontario (HPCO). From 2021 to 2023, she volunteered with Hospice Toronto for over 400 hours, providing one-on-one support to clients in their homes and in hospital. In 2023 she completed her Personal Support Worker training with a focus on palliative care. In 2024, Lila attended a Grief Tending course based on Francis Weller’s The Wild Edge of Sorrow and completed a community research project with The Gilbert Centre (Barrie) on supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ older adults. In 2026, Lila facilitated a virtual grief support group for youth with Autism. Since 2017, she has provided over 700 hours of spiritual support through intuitive readings and workshops. Lila has been offering private caregiving services since 2025 and has supported clients through illness, recovery, grief, and end-of-life. They are constantly developing their practice by learning from their clients and loved ones, as well as teachers like adrienne maree-brown, Sophie Strand, Carmen Cool, Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley, Alua Arthur, Ash Canty, Mara June, Alok Vaid-Menon, Zena Sharman, Scott Richardson-Read, many non-human wise ones, and many, many more.
Lila and their life-partner live in Barrie, Ontario with their cat and dog. She is happiest when she’s in the woods, or watching birds, or drawing trees, or watching women’s soccer, or eating pastries, or laughing with friends, or dreaming under a full moon.
