INELDA defines an end-of-life doula as a nonmedical companion who provides personalized and compassionate support to individuals, families, and their circles of care as they encounter and navigate death, loss, and mortality. An end-of-life doula advocates self-determination and imparts psychosocial, emotional, spiritual, and practical care to empower dignity throughout the dying process.

Hospice provides medical care and pain management, while a death doula focuses on non-medical support. I complement hospice teams by offering presence, listening, ritual, legacy work, and assistance with planning and meaning-making.

Anytime. Some people reach out when they or a loved one receive a terminal diagnosis, others when they are healthy but want to plan ahead. I also support families after a death has occurred, as well as those navigating grief or other life transitions.

No. I support people in many stages of life. This includes end-of-life planning, legacy projects, grief support, and community conversations around death and dying. My work is about honoring life in all its transitions.

I offer:

• Legacy projects to preserve stories, values, and memories

• Celebration of life planning to honor loved ones in meaningful ways

• End-of-life planning for medical, spiritual, and practical wishes

• Grief ceremonies for individuals or groups

• Community offerings such as book clubs, calls, and guest speakers

I honor all belief systems and traditions. My approach is rooted in presence, ritual, and respect. If desired, I can incorporate spiritual practices, nature-based rituals, or other traditions meaningful to you.

Every person’s journey is unique. I shape each offering to reflect your values, needs, and vision. Whether you want a structured plan, a creative project, or simply someone to sit with you in presence, we will create something that feels right for you.

Yes. Depending on your location, I can provide in-person support, or we can connect through video calls, phone calls, or virtual messaging.
