Meet Violetta

In the journey of my nursing career, I embarked on a transformative path fueled by a passion for change and compassion. Starting with my education at UCCS and then transferring to KU, I ventured to Lawrence, Kansas, leaving behind the comfort of friends and family to embrace a new beginning. Completing nursing school through an accelerated program at MidAmerica Nazarene was a challenging yet rewarding experience that laid the foundation for my future. My first role in the emergency department ignited my determination, guiding me through three intense years of urgent care. However, it was as an RN case manager in hospice that I discovered my true calling—providing empathetic support during life's most vulnerable moments. This experience not only shaped my professional identity but also instilled in me the importance of cherishing every fleeting moment, inspiring me to advocate for holistic end-of-life care. After receiving my death doula training from IAP college, I set forth on building a business to provide one on one care that could fully meet the needs of people in this transitional time of life.

My Nursing Career

My Approach to End-of-Life Care

In the journey of life, we often shy away from discussing its most profound ending—death. Drawing from my experiences in the ER and hospice care, I have witnessed the sacredness inherent in each life. This has inspired me to challenge the societal taboos surrounding death, advocating that by openly addressing it, we can diminish our fears. My mission is to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their own lives, encouraging them to reflect on how they wish to spend their remaining days. Through compassionate conversations, I aim to honor the rich tapestry of experiences that define a life well-lived. As a nurse, I offer not only hands-on care but also a heartfelt presence, facilitating those difficult yet essential discussions. Together, we can embrace life's fragility and celebrate its beauty, even in the face of mortality.

Early planning is crucial for ensuring that your wishes are honored, especially as you approach the end of life. By proactively discussing and documenting your desires, you can significantly reduce potential conflicts among family members, as your intentions are clearly outlined. My role is to advocate for you or your loved ones, standing firm in honoring those wishes, even amidst any disagreements that may arise. During this vulnerable period, I prioritize creating a comfortable environment for you and your family, ensuring that everyone feels respected and supported. By taking the time to plan early, we not only alleviate stress during challenging times but also foster unity among family dynamics, paving the way for a more harmonious experience as we all navigate this critical phase together.
