About Mica (he/they)
Hello! My name is Mica James Cosentino. I have been working with animals for fifteen years, with a decade of those years specific to veterinary medicine. I am a dynamically disabled, non-binary trans man living in west Philadelphia (Lenapehoking land).
When Iām not working as a doula, you can usually find me writing lyrics, cooking vegan food, exploring niche perfume, participating in mutual aid, reading, spending time with my cat and dog, socializing with my partner and friends, or foraging in the woods.
I care deeply about ensuring that I can work with families from all walks of life. For this reason, my services are entirely sliding scale. Your unshakable bond with your animal is wholly unique to your relationship, and I strive to help you find ways to honor that.
I hold a certification from the University of Vermont as a Companion Animal End-of-Life Doula and a certification in Thanabotany from the School of American Thanatology. I was also trained as an End-of-Life Doula by INELDA (International End of Life Doula Association).
