Creating space for belonging is at the core of their work\, from teaching medical professionals to working with youth and play\, from shrouding a community member to hand-grinding herbs for tea. Lashanna regularly lives and works in the intersections of death\, art\, education and love. Her end-of-life work is rooted in a community deathcare model.  Lashanna holds a solid\, grounded space for her clients\, regularly bringing great comfort to a time that can feel out of control.  Her knowledge\, skill\, and experience allow her to assist people and their families in their time of death.  Lashanna not only works with people imminently facing death or who have been given a terminal diagnosis; she also works with those living their life fully and wants a doula relationship in place for when death does come closer or an accident occurs. As the Executive Director of A Sacred Passing\, Lashanna joins in community collaboration\, creating engaging and productive death-and-dying educational materials and opportunities for the community and professionals to learn.  While instructing massage students or doulas\, she works to impress the importance of keeping one’s agenda and judgment out of the process while centering on listening\, trust\, and autonomy. “If energy is neither created or destroyed\, I am quite sure we’ve met sometime before” – thegoodwitchofcascadia \nMarquita is a Perinatal Grief & Trauma Therapist\, Death Doula\, and founder of Imani’s Light Grief & Wellness Center.
