Hi, I’m Ken, and I am here when you need a brave space to confront the challenges of being mortal.

Drawing on two decades of experience in social work, psychotherapy, yoga therapy, psychedelic science and thanatology (the study of death), I help individuals tap into non-ordinary mind states, so they can see their struggles from a different perspective.

If you’re experiencing a major life challenge and you aren’t sure how to move forward, or you simply aren’t where you wish you were in life, I’m here to guide you out of that stuck place.

THANATOLOGY

Thanatological work isn’t only for those at the end of life—it’s for anyone longing to live with more authenticity, clarity, and courage. Rooted in the study of death, dying, and bereavement, thanatology invites us to reflect on our mortality not as a morbid exercise, but as a powerful motivator for conscious living.

Research shows that engaging with death awareness can improve psychological well-being, increase life satisfaction, and foster pro-social behaviors such as compassion and gratitude (Yalom, 2008; Koole & Van den Berg, 2005). By facing death, we often discover what truly matters most in life.

As a thanadoula, I walk alongside individuals and families through this sacred terrain—facilitating honest conversations, honoring grief as a teacher, co-creating meaningful rituals, and empowering informed choices about end-of-life care. Whether you're navigating anticipatory grief, exploring spiritual questions, or simply yearning for a more values-aligned life, this work is an invitation to be more fully human.

Thanatological support is about more than dying well—it’s about living well, with intention, empathy, and grace. My goal is to nurture a death-positive culture, where we meet the end not with fear, but with dignity, presence, and even wonder.
