The Peaceful Presence Project
NEDA-Proficient End Of Life Doula
Theresa completed end of life doula training with the Peaceful Presence Project. She has extensive personal experience with supporting both family and friends during their end of life journey and is grateful for the Peaceful Presence framework and philosophy. Supporting those at the end of life is a profound honor and serving with a strong back and soft front is fundamental to her life’s values.
Theresa currently serves on the Board of Directors for The Peaceful Presence Project and has been very active in her church and other community organizations in Central Oregon since 1990.
Theresa’s career has spanned over 3 decades in the healthcare field in a variety of roles both clinical and administrative. Her advocacy for keeping caregivers safe at work has been foundational during her years of service. She is looking forward to this next chapter, turning her service heart toward those with terminal illness and near the end of life as well as simply having meaningful conversations regarding end of life with anyone who is interested.
