Bozeman Professional Women (BPW) is a diverse group of individuals working to ensure that Gallatin Valley, women-owned and led businesses have the tools they need to succeed. Their mission is to connect, educate, and celebrate their members AND non-member entrepreneurs alike. BPW members gather to pool their talents and resources to create innovative, professional, educational, networking, and funding opportunities. They honor those among us who are making outstanding contributions to our community with a mission to help women succeed. BPW does this through offering small business and educational grants; Woman of Achievement, Employer of the Year, and Young Careerist honors; plus professional development and mentorship opportunities. They work hard to provide creative platforms for community members to get involved and highlight the hard work we are doing to ensure Bozeman and the greater Gallatin area is the safe, vibrant, and connected community that we all envision it to be. 

Liminal Showers, LLC is one of the proud recipients of BPW’s 2024 educational grants which funded five different certifications in the grief coaching field. Throughout this process and grant cycle, they successfully delivered an easily accessible grant application, flexible and supportive grant reporting requirements, low-pressure opportunities to market and share success, and have been diligent with personal and compassionate communications and support. Funding from Bozeman Professional Women has been essential to setting Liminal Showers grief coaching services up for success. Coaching, be it life, death, or grief, is an unregulated field. Access to educational certifications ensures quality of Liminal Showers care for clients, and BPW deserve full credit for making these certifications possible.

Prospera is the leading nonprofit organization working to advance and inspire diverse economies and resilient communities in southwest Montana. Their focus is helping people start and grow their businesses, which, in turn, strengthens the economy in our local communities. They provide tools and support for turning business ideas into realities, offer free and low-cost business advising to entrepreneurs and small businesses, work to open access to capital for growth or expansion, organize networking and invaluable business training opportunities, and facilitate collaborative connections and partnerships that encourage community cohesion.

Prospera connects you to the resources you need, advocates for your success, and literally remembers your name. 

Liminal Showers was registered as an LLC in June, 2024 and Prospera was the first resource pursued following that milestone. They offered start-up training and one-on-one business advising - including business plan templates and revision guidance, licensing checklists and legal resources, and compassionate encouragement. The human touch, which is so fundamentally embedded into the ways in which they provide support, are indispensable to the success of any start-up or small business.

Hunter holds degrees in Theatre and French from the University of Montana. At present, he is an award winning casino manager, respected for his attention to detail, ability to cultivate a positive work environment, compassionate customer service, and innovative bookkeeping skills. As a performer, you may have seen him on various Montana stages included Verge Theatre, Bozeman Actors Theatre, Montana Repertory Theatre, and the Virginia City Follies. Hunter is also a dedicated anti-racist, avid reader, skilled pianist and piano tuner, crooner, karaoke enthusiast, perspective future law student, and (my) devoted husband and dog dad.

While Hunter may be Liminal Showers family, he also deserves the title of OG partner and business consultant. He regularly employs his math and accounting skills, legal knowledge, and business management experience in supporting Liminal Showers’ best interest. As a single member LLC, it can be hard to dedicate time towards strategic money management and bookkeeping on top on fulfilling client contracts and staying up to date on the latest deathwork discourse. Having an advocate like Hunter provides peace of mind to a new and growing business like Liminal Showers, LLC.

Lori began her journey as a Doula with birth and early childhood education. Everything changed when she became a caregiver for her grandmother living with dementia, and sitting by her mom’s bedside as she died from pancreatic cancer further deepened her call to deathwork. The energy required to lead students and engage with parents shifted.

Today, Lori is a Lifespan Doulas, LLC Certified End-of-Life Doula., operating her own practice under Ms. Lori Doula, LLC. She aligns a gentle, quiet presence with people who are dying and offers support to their caregivers. Lori followed her calling to enter that trusting, tender space at the end of life. She also serves as a hospice volunteer, provides mentorship to those entering the deathwork space, and uses her voice in advocating on behalf of forgotten and silenced community members such as those with mental health struggles and senior citizens.

Ms. Lori has and continues to be an incredible mentor in her partnership with Liminal Showers. Ms. Lori Doula, LLC and Liminal Showers, LLC have cultivated a beautifully symbiotic relationship. We know that death is rarely “convenient” and deserves compassionate care no matter the circumstance or time of day. We also know that self-care and work-life balance are an essential part of providing quality end-of-life support. Partnerships such as this help insure that our clients receive quality care.

Olive is a Bozeman-based theatre artist, musician, barista, cosmetologist, and devoted mother. They are a jack-of-all-trades, but NOT a master of none. Olive takes pride in any project, role, or task set before them. They are a 2020 graduate of the Academy of Cosmetology offering expertise in curly haircuts and styles (which is hard pressed to find in Montana) and innovative makeup designs - from the smokey eye to the strikingly performative.  Olive has performed on many of our most beloved stages in Bozeman and surrounding areas including Verge Theater, Shane Center, Ellen Theatre, Blue Slipper, and various music venues as sorryimolve featuring original tracks and choreography. As an up-and-coming singer/songwriter, she has been voted as Bozeman’s Choice for Best Musical Performance, three consecutive years in a row (2023 - 2025). In their free time, they play softball for a local league, raise funds for organizations supporting mental health and suicide prevention, and spend time star gazing with their kiddo and fiancé. 

Olive partners with Liminal Showers as a hair and makeup artist for Liminal Legacy services. They show up with infectious laughter, pay attention to detail in making sure clients feel cared for and heard, and truly make legacy recording experiences feel as much of a gift to our storytellers as the legacy itself is those who get to hold sacred their life lessons.

Neva was born on the Ides of March but there is nothing ominous about her or the ways she serves our community. She holds a BA in Psydogogy and is an ivy league graduate from Tale University with an MA in Canine Social Bark. Neva believes that curiosity is the key to compassionate care and entrepreneurial success.

As a partner with Liminal Showers, Neva has served as an incredible mentor through curiosity consulting. Furthermore, her feet and face baths, while pretty gross, have a 100% success rate in boosting office morale on the toughest of days.
