Hi, I’m Justis.

I offer holistic death care and education in Astoria, Queens and virtually on the Wild Wild Web. As a trauma-informed and holistic reproductive and death care provider, I can bear witness to and hold space for the complexities that arise whether you are giving birth or in the active moments of dying.

Aside from personal experience, my death care practice came into focus through trainings with Going with Grace and A Sacred Passing. Presently, I am a 9 Keys Apprentice with Narinder Elizabeth Bazen. My practice is also buttressed by a dozen years of event planning and project management experience in corporate and nonprofit spaces, an interdisciplinary liberal arts degree, and years of political advocacy for reproductive and gender justice. I am able to weave practical support through a compassionate and spiritual framework, allowing you to move through the present moment with grace and loving-kindness.

I have thought many times about what a peaceful, loving experience it was. You had such a solid, grounded calmness. This was a good transition, not a tragedy, for which I was so grateful. There were angels in the room with us - there was such love and - I don't know the word to use -Largeness, Height, Expansiveness . . . But you were truly wonderful through the whole experience. And setting aside a nice outfit for her remains to wear was truly thoughtful and appropriate. Big Mom was a very advanced Soul, and she did important work here. I feel so honored to have been there in her last days here. -Pamela E.
