Michelle Desmond

Washington State

Michelle holds a Master of Science degree in Thanatology, as well as an MBA and Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. After experiencing many of the losses we will all face, just a little earlier in life than most, she made the shift from a career as a corporate executive to Thanatology. Michelle has a passion for supporting the modern grief experience through education and developing human solutions for people facing some of life’s most challenging situations. Her areas of focus include thanatechology (the role of technology in death and grief), the neuroscience of grieving, and the potential for plant medicines (psychedelics) to help the terminally ill and bereaved.
