I became an End Of Life Doula because of my own personal experiences with end of life and death. And I wish I had known then what I know now: How to navigate these chapters with better planning, stronger support, regaining some control over what happens along the way, and with more grace.
Death should not only be a medical event for the body. Doulas are the bridge between the Medicine and the Holistic Experience that is the end of this Life. We are a trained extra layer of support & knowledge for the individual, the caregivers, the family, the medical community and friends. Death Doulas are advocates and hand holders, we promote empowerment and a loving compassionate community to surround you.
If you, or someone you love, are facing a terminal diagnosis or the end of life, please know there is help out there for you. Everyone deserves all the compassion, information and support possible when facing this vulnerable time. If I'm not your cup of tea, I promise that you can find beautiful Doulas out there. I can help you with that too.
My hope is to help you live the best Life you can with the time that you have, that all are treated with respect, dignity and given their voice. I can have the uncomfortable conversations with you, go into those dark spaces with you and bring in some light. Death is the final act of this Life, let us honor that with all the grace, love and peace that we all deserve.
Facing the end of life is a tremendous act of courage and love.
I am honored to accompany you along this way.
