I'm a neighbor, a writer, and a death doula. I started this work because I believe the end of our lives deserves the same care and creative attention as the beginning. It’s not about logistics; it’s about the story you want to leave behind.

A Note from Miranda

I'm a death doula and creative technologist, but you can just call me your neighbor.

For 15 years, I built complex digital campaigns for brands like NBC, Vox Media, and Columbia University. It was a world of tight deadlines and massive launches. But when I returned home to Washington, I saw how those same production skills could serve a more meaningful purpose: helping families navigate the end of life with intention and beauty.

I founded Bainbridge Death Support to do just that. This work is intimate and demanding, so I keep my client list small. It allows me to give you my undivided attention, ensuring the legacy we craft together is a true and lasting reflection of the story you want to tell.

I live on Bainbridge Island's south end with my husband and baby son. It's a good life.

A Look Ahead

My vision extends beyond individual projects. I'm building a central hub of resources to ensure every family on our island has access to what they need for a good death.

Bainbridge is a beautiful place to live and to die. My job is to think about how to make it even better.

In Development: The Bainbridge Pet Trust

A specialized service for pet rehoming and emergency care, ensuring that when an owner can no longer provide care, their animal never enters a shelter. It's a guarantee of safety for them and peace of mind for you.

My Philosophy

“We all have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we have only one.”

This work is not about medicine; it's about companionship. It's about facing mortality with preparation, preserving a legacy with intention, and handling a sacred transition with the dignity it deserves. My process is built on serious care, creative exploration, and radical accessibility.

A Few Common Questions

My work is a bespoke, creative partnership. Projects are priced based on their scope, beginning at $5,000 for memorial websites and $10,000 for documentary work. I keep my client list small to ensure each family receives my full creative energy.

Hard Boundaries

Do you replace my estate attorney or financial planner?

No. I collaborate with your existing professionals to handle the creative and emotional layers they don’t cover. My work complements theirs; it doesn't replace it.

Is this a 24/7 crisis service?

No. While I am deeply committed to my clients, I am not a crisis counselor or a medical first responder. My role is to provide companionship and creative support through a planned process.

Do you handle estate sales or house clearing?

No. My focus is on legacy and story, not physical property. I can refer you to trusted local specialists who handle estate liquidation and home organization.

Is this a medical service?

No. I am a non-medical death doula. My support is holistic and practical, focused on comfort, ritual, and legacy while coordinating with your hospice or medical care teams.
