Shelby Kirillin

Shelby Kirillin is a passionate lifelong learner, lover of the mountains, and devoted wife and mother. She finds peace in nature, and she constantly strives to lean into her growth edges and avoid stagnancy. Her favorite words are “curiosity” and “compassion”—both of which she attempts to embody daily, both personally and globally.

“I want people to know that we can embrace and learn from the dying experience—and that by doing that, it will actually better how we live.”

Shelby has been a neurotrauma nurse in the intensive care unit for more than 20 years. She is a certified EOL doula with her own practice in Richmond, Virginia, and has been an educator with INELDA since 2017.
