After over 20 years as a classroom teacher and with many loved ones aging, Anna was drawn to learn more about death. A new passion was found as Anna participated in her death doula training with Going with Grace in the fall of 2024. Upon completing her training, and after reading numerous "death books," Anna set up Ripped Screen Door Death Doula in the fall of 2025, to share her knowledge and expertise to help others and their loved ones face what is inevitable yet often avoided.

Why Ripped Screen Door?
Ripped Screen Door comes from the song, If He Tries Anything, by Ani Difranco, one of Anna's favorite musicians.
Tell you one thing
I'm gonna make noise when I go down
For ten square blocks
They're gonna know I died
All the goddesses will come up
To the ripped screen door
And say,
What do you want, dear?
And I'll say,
I want inside.
