Hello
My name is Samantha Turpin
I'm a licensed mental health therapist and death doula.
​
I've spent much of my life exploring and investigating parapsychology, such as past life experiences, the paranormal, near-death experiences, and beliefs related to spirituality, death, and our connections to the other side.
It's only natural that my path as a therapist became intertwined with death and dying, and I pursued additional training to become a death doula.
It is an honor to help people explore their relationship with mortality and prepare for what all living things have in common: death.

​
She is passionate about helping others feel confident, empowered, and at ease with their experiences. She offers a judgment-free space for people from all walks of life, backgrounds, and orientations.
Death and dying, mortality, grief, the paranormal, and energy work can feel like daunting topics to explore. Please know that she comes into this work with a lifetime of her own experiences related to these subjects, so she "gets it" in a unique way; however, she doesn't assume that her experiences mirror yours, compete with yours, or define yours. Samantha's mission is to help you make peace with, understand, and feel empowered to embrace the experiences and parts of you that may feel stigmatized and afraid.
​
She is equipped to help clients navigate the complex emotions and decisions that come with a terminal illness or for those who want a head start on organizing their plans.
