Hi! I’m Sarah Jane.
It is my honor to serve individuals and families through the final transition of life. Following a confrontation with my own fear of death, alongside supporting a friend through the unexpected loss of a parent, I heard the call to serve in end-of-life, grief, and death care.
My style as a doula is a blend of practical support and compassionate presence. It’s just as likely I will share a poem with you that came to mind as it is that I will take out your trash. True service includes both– and hopefully includes humor, joy, and gratitude along the way.
I completed death doula training with Alua Arthur of Going with Grace, and am certified NEDA (National End of Life Association) proficient. I have attended additional trainings with Roshi Joan Halifax of Upaya Zen Center, and Willow Farm Contemplative Center. I am a hospice volunteer with Trailwinds hospice in Boulder.
In 2025, I teamed up with fellow therapist and death doula, Abby Howard, to form Longmont Care Circle. Working in collaboration and community offers a higher level of care to our clients, extends our ability to provide educational and community programming, and ensures this vital work is sustainable for us as providers.
In addition to my doula work, I am a therapist and couples counselor in private practice. I am a registered LPCC in Colorado. I completed my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Naropa University in 2024. My study concentration was mindfulness-based transpersonal counseling. Doula services are independent of my psychotherapy practice.
My partner and I have lived in Boulder County since 2009. We have three children who support my efforts to stay present. Moons ago, I worked in the technology startup world in community management and as a writer and content manager for an executive coaching company. I am proud to be a living organ donor.
When it is my time to die, I dream of being intoxicated in the wonder of nature and perhaps acutely aware of the familiar, comforting din of the refrigerator motor, both beautiful notes in the soundtrack of my life.
