Hello, I’m Theresa!

I’m a Death Doula, Tax Advisor, community educator, and documentary artist based in California. I’m passionate about end-of-life preparedness, tax and finance education, solidarity economies, community-based care, grief-tending, storytelling, and astrology.

What is “Eighth House?”

In Astrology, the Eighth House is associated with death, grief, mental anguish, taxes, loans, finances, inheritance, legacy, and transformation. The Eighth House reminds us that as physical beings our existence is finite, and so we must deal with the reality of impermanence and confront our fears around endings.

As a Death Doula and Tax Advisor, I am uniquely qualified to support folks while they traverse these realms by providing:

  • tips and guidance through the end-of-life pre-planning process

  • practical advice and compassionate support to an appointed executor of an estate

  • non-medical support to the dying and their chosen inner circles at the end of life

  • one-on-one + group-facilitated grief support

  • income tax and small business consulting for therapists, doulas, and other helping professionals

  • tax education and financial literacy through an anti-capitalist lens

Whether you're seeking support in navigating the end of life or you’re curious to understand the intricacies of taxes, Eighth House Death & Taxes is here to support you on your journey.
