As an End-of-Life Doula, I will be there for you and your loved ones through the final months, weeks, and days of life. My services focus on the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients, their partners, friends, and families, and include bereavement support for children, teens, and adults. My training and skills provide compassionate, professional non-medical support as well as resources, education, and companionship as you accept and embrace dying as a period of life, not just an abrupt ending.
