A space to explore, inspire, and transform.
not only how we die but how we live

Whether you’re grieving, preparing, or simply asking deeper questions about what it means to live and die well,
you’re welcome here.

Hi, I’m Kyla. I’m a death doula at the beginning of my journey – someone drawn to this work through a deep curiosity about life, loss, and what it means to be human. 

I’m a deep feeler, and over the past few years, I’ve found myself sitting with big questions: 

What does it mean to live fully? How do we make peace with impermanence? What do we leave behind? How can we better support our loved ones through dying? 

Surrounded by Marigolds is a space I created to hold those questions – and the people asking them – with care, curiosity, and compassion.

A gentle invitation

If you’re here, something’s likely stirring. Maybe you’re feeling the ache of loss. Or facing change. Or simply curious about the parts of life we’re taught to avoid. Wherever you are, I invite you to start the conversation. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here. Let’s begin—gently, together.
