What do you say you are? Death Doula. Desk Doula? End of Life Doula. Ohhh…. What is that?

       'Death is but a doorway to a new life.  We live today.  We shall live again.  In many forms we shall return to this earth.'

Ancient Egyptian proverb

What is an end-of-life Doula?

 End-of-life Doula’s are trained non-medical professionals who provide emotional, physical, and educational support for someone nearing death. 

What do I do?

I am a concierge of sorts for the dying or a mentor for the final chapter in life. I am constant and stable. I hold sacred space for the dying through all stages of their journey. I facilitate end-of-life planning. I help navigate through questions, concerns, and fears that are uncomfortable or difficult to discuss for the dying and their loved ones.  I provide tools so loved ones are not surprised by the changes to their passing loved one.  I can create a vigil plan and hold vigil which includes the input from the dying in how they would like to see their final days and hours.  I provide respite for the loved ones.  I promote a very direct engagement with the dying process by providing comfort, spiritual companionship while anticipating the needs and wants of the dying and their loved ones.

What don’t I do?

-I am a non-medical professional.  I do not do medical procedures/recommendations/medications or vitamins.

-I am not an Advisor. I do not provide legal advice.

-I am not a Care aide. I do not deal with fluids or moving.

-I do not place my personal life into their journey.

-I cannot fix the dying I do not have all the answers. I show up to be of service.

I am a genie with a magical lamp granting a tailormade dying experience that is unique to you and your loved ones.   I would be honored to be a part of your journey.
