Suzette Mikita
I was born and raised in Connecticut. I spent my childhood amongst many activities including camping, babysitting, skiing, rollerskating and ice skating, reading every book I could get my hands on, and being a candy striper where I developed my love for nursing.
I moved to South Florida where I became a nurse in 2002. I have been involved in end of life care for approximately 19 years. I obtained my Palliative Care Resource Nurse certification in 2015. I also contributed greatly to starting the Palliative Care Steering Committee at Bayfront St. Petersburg Hospital in 2016 and I became a very active member of the Advent Health Tampa Hospital Palliative Care Steering Committee in 2018.
It is my sole purpose and calling to assist people in the traversing of the vastly complex end of life world. I look forward to rising to the challenge!

Effie Baldwin
I am very enthusiastic about living a meaningful life and allowing my Spirit to move forward. I view death as a natural process to release the Spirit from the physical body. I’ve had the opportunity to hold vigil space and be at the bedside of several loved-ones who have transitioned. Therefore, it would be an honor for me to accompany you and your family on this journey. I want to provide information, support, and assistance before, during, and after your loved-one’s end of life experience. Together, we can plan and ensure the most sacred and peaceful final moments.

Penny Guilford
My name is Penny Guilford and I live in Gore, Virginia. I love anything spiritual and I read as much as I’m able to. I’m a birth doula, birth bereavement doula, and an end of life doula. I’m certified through Birth Boot Camp, Stillbirthday, and Doulagivers. I also have a bachelor’s degree in psychology and an associate degree in education, and I formerly worked as a certified nursing assistant in home health care. Part of my life’s journey is helping to guide others up and over the mountain from one life to the next, whether that’s celebrating a new little soul joining us in this world, or celebrating one of our own returning home, as much as we wish to keep them here. I would love to help you and your family navigate these sacred experiences.
