Krista’s Story…
About US!
Krista Brenner is a compassionate Funeral Director and Thanadoula, dedicated to providing support during life's most challenging moments. As a Grief & Bereavement Coach, Reiki Master-Teacher, and Indian Head Massage Facilitator, she brings a holistic approach to healing. With her background in Recreation Therapy, Crystal Therapy, and her role as a Funeral Celebrant, Krista intertwines various disciplines to offer comfort and guidance. Educated in Thanatology and Funeral Pre-Planning, she continually seeks knowledge to enhance her services. Through her soul-nurturing company, Soul Circle, Krista is here to gently guide you on a peaceful journey, helping you find solace and understanding during difficult times.
Krista is the Kitchener-Waterloo Co-Representative for the Bereavement Ontario Network, a collection of Bereavement Services that are provided within KW.
An End-of-Life Doula serves as a guide in death care, offering emotional, spiritual, and practical support through a learned skill set. This role involves caring for those who are nearing the end of life, as well as supporting their loved ones. The term "Thanadoula" is also used, deriving from "Thanatos," the Greek word for death.
Krista has navigated her own grief for many years. She lost her brother in 2000 and has faced the heartache of losing close friends and family along the way. This includes a friend who tragically fell from a bridge in 1995, another who struggled with life and chose to end his own in 2001, a cherished friend who passed away from throat cancer in 2016, and her beloved grandparents, who both passed within three months of each other in 2017.
I am truly thrilled to be on this journey called Life. My business is called Soul Circle. I believe that "The Soul is a Circle; it thrives on good and clean energy." My intentions and actions are rooted in pure, positive energy, aimed at supporting anyone in need. May my light serve as a guiding force for you as well!
Peace and love to you,
Krista Brenner
In order to serve YOU, to the best of my ability, I returned to School in 2021 to HELP in the greatest way possible. I successfully completed my licensing and am now a Licensed Funeral Director.
