End of Life Doula
A death doula — sometimes called an end-of-life doula — walks alongside the dying and the people who love them. The work is non-medical and holistic: emotional presence, practical support, and steady companionship through one of life's most tender passages. It is what I am called to do.
Who I am here for
Some people arrive at the end of life with a full room — family gathered, logistics handled, love made visible. Others arrive with fewer people around them, not because they are less loved, but because that is how their life has unfolded. I am drawn, especially, to those people.
Solo-agers — those aging without a partner or family close by — often carry both the emotional and the logistical weight of this time on their own. My role is to lighten that load: to help with advance planning, to serve as a consistent and trusted presence, and to make sure your wishes are known and honored.
And yet this threshold belongs to everyone. I welcome anyone who is living with serious illness, caring for someone who is dying, sitting with grief, or simply ready to tend to something they've been meaning to tend to.
Whatever brought you here — you are welcome.
My path to this work began with the people I loved most. [Read my story →]
