An End-of-Life Doula (sometimes called a Death Doula) provides non-medical, non-judgmental support to individuals and their families during the sacred transition at the end of life. Because every person and family is unique, doula care is tailored to meet a wide range of needs—focusing on comfort, advocacy, emotional and spiritual support, and education about what to expect in the final months, days, and hours.

Doulas take a holistic approach, working alongside your healthcare team to ensure that care is centered on the whole person—not just the illness. The focus is on quality of life, dignity, and meaningful connection.

My role is to guide you through this time with presence and compassion, so that you and your loved ones have the space to share time together, care for yourselves, and fully experience the emotions of this journey.
