Sasha Leah Adina Wickenden
Death doula
Sasha believes that our attitude toward aging is inseparable from our attitude toward death, and that both can and should be consciously shaped. Otherwise, they unconsciously shape our lives. At 38, Sasha is not married, has no kids, and embarking on a new career. She challenges many stereotypes about age and aging.
