Russ Alexander, he/him

My story starts with my Mom. She died in August 2012 after a long illness, while on hospice service. I had only minimal experience with death and dying, or about hospice service, prior to her death. Thanks to her hospice service, I found her last days to be a sacred time. That hospice experience led me to become a hospice volunteer in 2013.

Annie Wilson, she/her

I am an INELDA-trained death doula since 2020, and a choreographer and performer in Philadelphia since 2007. As an artist, I believe dying is a creative space. I support folks who are: planning for their end of life and funeral, seeking ritual support during active dying, and grieving a loss (death or otherwise).

I am CARES certified in end-of-life care for dementia patients, am Reiki 2 certified, and have studied with Sacred Grief, Going with Grace, The Grave Woman, and the Centre for Sacred Deathcare.
