Adriana Michelle
Adriana Michelle AKA The Death Alchemist is a death doula, bruja, storyteller, and cinephile. She is a 1st generation Mexican-American who grew up in the liminal space of existing as a "border baby" Her work is guided by her ancestors, which include her mom and stepfather, who both died in 2015 and 2022, as well as her abuela, Doña Fernada who raised her as a baby and was the first to assuage any fears she may have encountered regarding death and dying. Some of her earliest memories in Mexico are of watching Walter Mercado with her grandmother and other older ladies, as well as walking around town and connecting with the neighbors. Adriana's work and mission is focused on reimagining the way we interact with life, death, grief, the afterlife, and how we each move through the spiral path of this incarnation and connect to one another.
