Our Story

Our journey began when we both worked at a hospice organization in San Francisco. This is where we credit our foundation for compassionate care and a deep understanding of cultural competence. While we both eventually left our work in San Francisco, we reconnected years later in their roles as end-of-life doulas. This partnership has since flourished into a collaborative mission to bridge the gap between traditional hospice services and the profound need for comprehensive holistic care. We bring over thirty years of combined experience in end-of-life care, dedicating our nursing careers to caring and advocating for the aging, terminally ill and dying.

We initiated the end-of-life doula mentorship and training to cultivate a much-needed community of end-of-life specialists, providing services that complement and enhance what hospice care—despite its many strengths—cannot fully offer. The Heart Bridge aim is to bridge that gap, bringing comprehensive support to our communities.

Since its inception, Your Heart Bridge has made meaningful strides in transforming end-of-life care.

Through our efforts in connecting experts, we enhance the visibility of doula services, linking local end-of-life doulas with hospice professionals to create a robust network of wisdom and compassion. Our emphasis on hands-on experience offers trainees invaluable bedside opportunities through collaborations with local hospices, equipping them with the practical skills needed for empathetic and effective care.

By actively engaging with the community through speaking events, we foster open dialogues and a deeper understanding of the dying process, contributing to a more informed and compassionate society.

Our commitment to accessibility is exemplified by offering full and partial scholarships and fundraising to support doula placements for those in need. These achievements underscore our dedication to empowering doulas and enriching care for all, inviting you to join us in this transformative journey of compassion and support.
