- Inward Bound- Founder Joni Marra says, "After retiring as an attorney, I earned certifications in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Breath Therapy, and formed Inward Bound, LLC to give back to a universe that has blessed me my entire life. Years into my private practice, clients often voiced a common fear: of death or the dying process. To serve these clients, I rely upon my 25+ years as a hospice volunteer and have received my certification as a Death Doula.

Equal Deathcare is a collective of people who aim to educate LGBTQIA+ community on how to protect their identities, loved ones, and legacies during end-of-life and into death. We are activists and educators, social workers and funeral directors, passionate members of the community and dedicated working professionals. We teach marginalized communities how to safeguard loved ones left behind from unsupportive legal next of kin, collect nation-wide resources to connect people to the deathcare services they need, and we educate about the funeral process from end-of-life to bereavement aftercare for individuals and families traditionally left behind by mainstream funeral culture.
