End-of-Life Doula Care

Death invites us to meet it with only the soft revelation that what began with birth finds its completion here, in this vast and sacred space. It is not a harsh end, but a natural continuation of life’s cycle, unfolding gently within this sacred space.

As an end-of-life doula I provide companionship, comfort, and guidance to those facing a terminal illness or death.

This is non-medical holistic support which encompasses spiritual, physical, emotional, and practical care.

A few ways I may help are…

  • Discuss and support end-of-life care planning
  • Support the spiritual practices of all involved
  • Bring a focus and intuitive presence to the bedside
  • Explain the signs and symptoms of the dying process
  • Process the emotions and experiences with loved ones
  • Provide the space to speak openly and frankly about dying
  • Incorporate traditions or create new rituals to mark special moments
  • Develop a plan for how the space looks, sounds, and feels leading up to and at the moment of death

How we live each moment matters.

Through deep introspection of your own mortality you will naturally learn how to design your life in a way you’d be at peace dying with, no matter when your ticket number gets called. We’ll work together on weaving these practices into your daily life so you live with more presence, gratitude, and ease of heart.
