“The End of Life deserves as much Beauty, Care, and Respect as the Beginning.”

What is an End-of-Life Doula?

Support, Comfort, & Guidance

As an end-of-life doula, my mission is to provide support, comfort, and guidance to individuals and their families during the end-of-life process and beyond.

A shoulder to lean on

I am here to provide a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, and a hand to hold as we navigate the emotional ups and downs that come with saying “goodbye.”

An advocate & a team player

While I'm not a medical professional, I can work with your healthcare team to ensure that you and your loved ones receive comprehensive care.

Emotional & spiritual needs

My goal is to make this journey as comfortable and meaningful as possible for you and your family, ensuring that your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs are honored and supported along the way.

How can I serve You?

  • Legacy Work

    Preserving your legacy is crucial. I'm here to help you reflect on your life, document your experiences, values, and wisdom.

  • End-of-Life Planning

    Let's organize and plan for what's ahead. We'll talk about your preferences for medical care, as well as funeral and memorial arrangements.

  • Respite Care

    Caregivers need care too. I offer temporary relief for primary caregivers, giving them the chance to rest and recharge.

  • Family Support

    I'm here to support your family, explaining the dying process and what to expect during those final stages.

    Your wishes are paramount. I act as your advocate, making sure that your desires for end-of-life care are respected and effectively communicated.

  • Vigil

    During this time, I provide companionship and support, creating a calm and comforting environment for you and your loved ones.

  • End-of-Life Celebration

    Let's plan a celebration that truly honors your life. We'll tailor a ceremony to reflect your unique values, beliefs, and life journey.

  • Coping with Grief

    After your passing, I'm here to support your family and friends. Offering resources, guidance, and a compassionate ear, I help them navigate through the grieving process.

Who I AM

As an end of life Doula, I am honored to guide you and your loved ones through life’s most sacred transition. It is important to me that my clients have an opportunity to reflect, grieve, celebrate and process their emotions. My role is to advocate for you and your loved ones throughout the end-of-life process and beyond.

I offer a variety of support services which I personalize for each individual. I can be involved as much or as little as you need. It would be an honor to walk alongside you, holding space for your unique story and honoring your wishes as you navigate life's final chapter.

With warmth and deep respect,
