About Me
Cierra McNamara
Quality of Life Educator
Palliative Care Community Specialist

Educational Death Doula
When life doesn’t go according to plan, every decision you make is a declaration of what you value and who you wish to be.
At some point, everyone will face circumstances that feel unbearable. The loss of a child, the loss of mobility, the loss of purpose. The list of losses is endless.
When you look bravely at loss you can see a sign.
Everything you mourn points to what you value.
Thankfully, values are enduring.
If you are living with critical illness, grieving the death of a loved one, or are caregiving someone in decline, you are already looking at life in a new way.
Hardship forces us to question everything. To reprioritize. To ask “Why?” To seek answers.
With the right support, uncertainty can lead straight to the depths of your heart. To the center of who you are and what you need right now.
I’m Cierra McNamara, and I lead conversations that explore what is meaningful, what is unbearable, and the empowerment that comes when we decide the answers for ourselves.
As a master of social work student with a concentration in palliative care, I know that strength and safety arise from the inside as much as from the outside.
Small decisions can have immense impact.
If you’re living in the gray space between health and death, I invite you to a brave conversation. Together we can uncover what brings you comfort and control, so that every day is a valuable day.
