Trisha Onuskanych
End of Life Doula
In order to become a butterfly, the caterpillar has to fall apart completely. It must decompose down to its very essence, devoid of any shape or consciousness. The butterfly passes on... and from this liquid essence, the butterfly starts to put itself together from scratch, within a chrysalis.
​
We are all transforming...
and this is the beautiful journey of a Farfalla butterfly.
​
With a loving kindness and attention to detail, Trisha will help to navigate a good death for yourself or loved one.
​
Trisha has been trained into holding her Birthing into Spirit Certificate and Level 1 and Level 2 Reiki Certification. Trisha regularly volunteers with Hospice, providing her services.
