End-of-Life Doula

Death is a sacred transition. End-of-life doulas create and hold a safe space with people who are navigating the dying process. I have profound respect for people who are facing this tremendous transition and consider it a sacred honor to enrich the dying experience for patients, family members, and friends.

As a certified End-of-Life Doula, or Death Doula, I can help provide spiritual and emotional support during this transition. My gifts and experience allow me to especially focus on the following kinds of support:

Breath work, visualizations, and guided meditations to help lower stress
A sounding board for you to share your fears, thoughts, concerns, experiences, and stories
Assistance in the creation of legacy work (e.g.-the creation of a journal, audio recordings, letters, recipes, a scrapbook, etc. to leave for your loved ones)
The development of a care plan with your requests for celebrations of life, funerals, wakes, and/or memorials
The planning and conducting of rituals, rites of passage, and/or a vigil
Grief support, including a post-passage plan for the family
Acts of care such as hand and foot massage, hair brushing, and reading aloud
Reiki and other supportive energy work for relaxation and pain relief

A free, initial consultation (in-person or virtually) is done first to determine what your needs are and to make sure that I am the best fit for you.

An individualized care package can be created at our first meeting with a price that reflects the number of hours I will be needed and that honors your financial circumstances (I strive to make this financially accessible for everyone who feels inspired to work with me). For example, a typical care package may include 5 scheduled visits (1-2 hours per visit) which can focus on any of the items listed above, unlimited phone calls and email access, on-call availability for vigil sitting, and a post-passage visit with loved ones to process the experience. A suggested cost for this package is a flat rate of $1,111.
