YOUR GO-TO DEATH DOULA & MASTER DEATH PRACTIONER

There Is a Way to Meet Death & Grief With Reverence

Whether you are navigating the end of life, tending to deep grief, or stepping into deathwork as a calling, you do not have to do this alone. I am Paola Snow, a master death practitioner, death doula, certified herbalist, and grief coach. For years, I have guided hundred of individuals, families, and fellow deathworkers through end-of-life transitions, grief integration, ritual, and ancestral tending.

Death Doula Services—

I guide individuals and families through end-of-life planning & bedside support, grief tending & ceremony crafting, personal legacy projects, and herbal plant medicine to support the nervous system and spirit with ancestral earth-based wisdom.

WILD ROSE MEMBERSHIP —

In my queer-led membership for artists, seekers, death doulas, and visionaries, I lead six-week cyclical activations that weave somatic practice, creative ritual, and body-led wisdom to restore intuitive flow, dissolve creative blockages, and nurture deep self-trust. Wild Rose members learn to align with the rhythms the land, calls in spirit, and open powerful streams of creativity.

TEA ALCHEMY COURSE —

I guide herbalists, earthworkers, and seekers through the ancestral art of tea-making—weaving wild foraging, plant medicine, and pesonalized ritual into a practice of deep listening. Inside Tea Alchemy, you’ll learn to blend medicinal and ceremonial teas, work with the energetic properties of herbs, and create formulations that support grief, grounding, and spiritual connection.

ANCESTRAL AWAKENING —

I guide seekers, healers, and lineage keepers through a six-week immersion in ancestral remembrance, where we bridge body, ritual, and spirit to reclaim what has always been ours. Inside Ancestral Awakening, you will connect with your ancestors, create altars, rewrite inherited narratives, and heal the unseen wounds of your lineage. When you root into the wisdom of those who came before you, you carry their strength forward into the life you are meant to live.

I’m Paola Snow, and I’ve been grieving for as long as I can remember.

My twin brother Matteo’s childhood death began my journey through the underworlds of death and grief, eventually leading me to study around the world with somatic teachers and grief therapists, become an acclaimed photographer, go from free spirited wild herb forager to certified Master Herbalist, and help hundreds of family navigate the end of life as their death doula…

WHAT IS A Death Doula?

A guide for the dying & a companion for the grieving who carries the wisdom of our ancestors and provides families with options.

A death doula provides compassionate, non-medical support at the end of life - holding space for the dying, tending to grief, and helping families navigate this sacred transition with care and intention. Whether through emotional support, legacy work, 11th-hour support, guiding the family in body care, or leading ritual, a death doula ensures that no one has to walk this path alone.
