About the Author
Hi, I’'m Yve!
I am an end-of-life-doula, a grief educator, a business professional, a yoga teacher, a writer, a nature lover, and a widow. Phew!
In 2019 I was shaken by a life event that has given me a precious opportunity to see and accept my truth — I am exactly where I’m supposed to be — and I'm not alone! With my knowledge and experience, I aim to support others in their journeys.
