My name is Simone, or Mona. I am a third generation Xicana of Rarámuri, Náayeri, Nahua, and European descent. I live and work in the West Valley of Arizona on Akimel O'odham, O'odham Jeweḍ, and Hohokam land.

I am a death doula and community care facilitator. Using a culturally conscious approach, I hold supportive space for those experiencing an end–the end of a life, the end of a relationship, the end of an identity, the end of a season or phase, etc. I bear witness and offer resources to foster release, connection, and wellbeing. 

I am committed to developing my knowledge base and skill set. For example, I am currently pursuing my MS in Psychology, with a concentration in Positive Psychology. Additionally, I am an apprentice of curanderismo. By blending all of these teachings, I strive to provide the most comprehensive service I can.
