Kim Adams, CPC
Guest Speaker

Kim’s work with death and dying started in the early 1990’s when she worked at a community health center for people with HIV/AIDS. At that time, people were dying of the disease and Kim moved in closer rather than shy away from death. Since 2010, she has been a certified, professional End-of-Life Coach/Guide, and an educator on death/dying, home funerals, and green burials. Kim is a home funeral guide and currently serves on the Advisory Board for the Threshold Support Circle in Baltimore, MD empowering families to care for their own after-death. She served as the President of the Board of Directors for The Lily House, a community home for living and dying on Cape Cod, MA. Kim is a Board member for the Omega Home Network, non-profit national organization that promotes the development of community homes for dying people. She has served on the Board of Directors for the National Home Funeral Alliance (NHFA) and the National End-of-Life Doula Alliance (NEDA).
