Priyanha Nadanasabesan (she/they) is a community death doula based in Brooklyn, NY. Her practice expands collective approaches to end of life care at the intersection of healthcare systems and spiritual well-being.
Their current work includes creating containers for grief and death such as community altars, grief support sessions, death cafes, and creative processing workshops. Additionally, she connects individuals with the resources available to them to advocate for an end of life that is aligned with their wishes.
Priyanha is also an interdisciplinary artist who uses multiple mediums to express abstract self-portraits of her inner (outer) world. Their main artist themes include re-imagining the first-generation experience, cycles of death and rebirth, grief as transformation, metaphysical workings to affirm one’s wholeness and dark humor to soften our shadow work. Priyanha is community made and community empowerment is central to all of her end of life offerings and artistic creations.
