What is an End-of-Life Doula?
An End-of-Life Doula is a support person who provides non-judgmental, non-medical holistic support to those nearing the end of life.
An end-of-life doula typically offers support to the friends and family of the elderly, dying, or recently deceased.
​
An end-of-life doula educates and empowers individuals to make decisions on their own end-of-life care and final burial or funeral.
About Sheri Thompson
My working life has been a passionate journey focused on making the life of others better, easier. I've been fortunate enough to do this upon completion of my undergraduate degree in Human Services from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. I also have several certifications and trainings in Hatha Yoga, Nosara yoga and Kundalini Yoga.
Continuing education is extremely important to me. Most recently. I recently obtained an End of Life Doula training and Death Doula certification from the Inelda organization, as well as through IAP Career College. Doing this rewarding work is also deeply personal to me as I spent four years caring for my sweet mama, beloved aunt, and my dear old dad as they all began exhibiting symptoms of dementia, Alzheimer's and old age, respectively, at Christmas time in 2018.
​
Along with my sibling, I took on many of the roles one would imagine in this situation: Care Companion, facilitator of Advanced Care Directives, advocate. I have experience in working alongside physical therapists, nurses, ER personnel, hospital administrators and medical staff. When it was time to bring hospice in to our home, I assisted in administration of morphine, cleaning bed and body, turning to prevent bed sores, and keeping vigil.​
​
My goal for Peaceful Journey Doula is to be the "go-to" source, or "road map" if you will, for my community. If I am unable for whatever reason to meet your needs, I will gladly refer you to my network of trusted colleagues.
