Services

Similar to how a birth doula assists an expectant mother through pregnancy and delivery, an end-of-life doula supports individuals throughout the stages of end-of-life planning and the dying process. For many, having essential documents such as wills and advance directives prepared brings peace of mind. For others, the focus is on ensuring that they or their loved ones receive the necessary support in their final moments.

Building a Vision

Who would you like to surround in your final moments? Will there be music, essential oils, gentle foot massage, prayer, or song?

Together, we can create a unique end-of-life plan to share with loved ones and your medical team.

We cannot be truly alive without maintaining an awareness of death. Death is not waiting for us at the end of a long road. Death is always with us, in the marrow of every passing moment. She is the secret teacher hiding in plain sight.
