I know how to listen for what is said — and what is too tender to say directly.
Meet the founder
This work began with my mother, my son, and the stories I refuse to let disappear.
I am a mental health therapist, a mother, and someone who lost my own mom at a young age.
Now that I am a mom myself, it matters deeply to me that my young son knows my mother like a real person — not just a name, not just a photograph, not just someone who was here before him. I want to pass down her stories, her essence, her humor, her tenderness, and the little details that made her who she was.
I see so much of her in him. That makes keeping her memory alive feel even more sacred. It holds her closer to me, and it gives him a connection to someone who helped shape the love he comes from.
Why Heart & Stone exists
Love does not cease when our loved one is no longer here with us.
They live on in our hearts, in the stories we keep telling, in the signs that feel clearly meant just for us, and in the moments when their presence still finds a way to feel near.
Heart & Stone Legacy was created for families who want remembrance to feel personal, lasting, and alive. A headstone can be more than a marker. It can be a place where memory gathers, where future generations understand who came before them, and where love has somewhere beautiful to land.
For me, this is not just design work. It is legacy care.
A therapist’s care
A memorial process shaped by emotional safety.
My background as a mental health therapist gives this work its heart. Families are often making permanent decisions while grieving, remembering, and navigating complicated emotions. I bring a steady, compassionate process to that tender space.
Why my background matters
Therapy taught me how to hear the whole person, not just the facts.
Beautiful memorial design starts with careful listening. My role is to help families feel guided, not pressured; supported, not rushed; and understood before any design decision is made.
I understand grief, family dynamics, attachment, memory, and the emotional weight of permanent decisions.
I ask careful questions that help families find language for love, loss, personality, and legacy.
I hold space for tears, laughter, uncertainty, and the little stories that often become the most meaningful design details.
My promise to families
Your loved one will be treated like a whole person.
Not a project. Not a transaction. Not a standard template. I will ask about their voice, their rituals, their favorite things, their strength, their softness, their faith, their family, and the details that would make someone say, “Yes. That feels like them.”
Begin
Tell me who they were.
The discovery process begins gently, with questions designed to uncover the person behind the dates.
