Death Doula
Death is a profound transition, and no one should have to navigate it alone. As a Death Doula, I provide compassionate, non-medical support for individuals and families facing the end of life. My role is to create a space where death is met with presence, care, and reverence. I offer guidance through emotional, spiritual, and logistical preparations, ensuring that each person’s final chapter is honored in a way that reflects their values and wishes. Whether through bedside companionship, legacy work, ritual creation, or holding space for grief, I am here to walk alongside you with deep respect and unwavering support.
My services extend to all forms of death and loss, recognizing that each journey is unique. I support those choosing Medical Aid in Dying, families experiencing sudden or traumatic loss, and individuals seeking to explore their relationship with mortality before death is imminent. In addition to one-on-one care, I facilitate group gatherings where people can come together in shared awareness of life’s impermanence. My goal is to help you approach death with a sense of peace, dignity, and connection, so that you and your loved ones feel held and supported in this sacred transition.
Emotional & Spiritual Support
A Death Doula provides compassionate presence during one of life’s most vulnerable transitions. Whether you or a loved one are facing the end of life, I offer a grounding presence, emotional guidance, and spiritual companionship to help navigate fear, grief, and the unknown with greater ease.
Personalized End-of-Life Planning & Rituals
Every death is unique, and honoring it with intention can bring deep meaning and peace. I help individuals and families create personalized end-of-life plans, legacy projects, and ceremonies that reflect their values, beliefs, and wishes. From bedside rituals to life celebrations, I ensure this passage is met with dignity and reverence.
A Bridge for Families & Communities
Death can bring both connection and challenge to those left behind. I support families in understanding the dying process, navigating difficult conversations, and holding space for shared grief. Whether through vigil presence, bereavement support, or group gatherings, I help create a container where love and healing can unfold.
Pricing
I believe fitness should be accessible to everyone. My standard rate is $75 per hour, but I offer a sliding scale for those who need financial flexibility. Let’s find a price that works for both of us!
