Holding Space for a Meaningful Final Chapter

As an end-of-life doula I act as a non-medical guide offering compassionate support to individuals and families as they plan for and prepare for the end of life. This work can include practical planning, thoughtful conversation, emotional support, and creating space for reflection, choice, and meaning. The role of the doula is not to provide clinical care, but to walk alongside clients with presence, steadiness, and care during a profound life transition.

I welcome clients of all backgrounds, faiths, identities, and orientations including LGBTQIA+ individuals and families. My practice is inclusive, respectful, and grounded in the belief that every person deserves to be met with dignity, compassion, and without judgment. I am honored to support people across a wide range of beliefs and life experiences, and I am committed to creating a space that is affirming for all families.

Advanced Care Planning

Preparing in advance is a way to put your wishes into words before others are asked to make difficult decisions on your behalf. This process helps you reflect on what matters most to you, document the care and support you would want, and make those wishes easier for loved ones and a chosen decision-maker to understand and honor. For many people, it also brings a greater sense of clarity, calm, and peace of mind in the present.

In this five-session package, we meet virtually or in person for 45–60 minutes at a time and work through a thoughtful set of planning documents together, so you are not starting from a blank page. We begin with your values, priorities, and what quality of life means to you, then use that foundation to explore your practical, emotional, and spiritual wishes. Along the way, we address the documents, conversations, and planning needed to help ensure your preferences are clearly communicated, including the designation of a healthcare power of attorney and guidance for future care and after-death preferences. If you would like, a loved one or chosen decision-maker can be included in part of the process.

My role is to provide education, structure, and compassionate guidance throughout. I offer accurate, state-sensitive information for clients anywhere in the U.S. and help you move through the process in a way that fits your style—whether you want a calm guide, a steady source of information, or more hands-on accountability. This is not legal advice, but supportive planning that helps you complete important documents, communicate your wishes clearly, and often come away with a deeper understanding of what matters most now.

Pricing available for individuals, couples, and groups.

Serious Illness & End-of-Life Support

These support sessions offer a calm, caring presence for people living with serious illness or nearing the end of life. Centered on the person receiving support, this work is shaped by what feels most supportive and meaningful to you. It may include practical planning, gentle conversation, emotional support, meditation for anxiety or pain, legacy work, vigil preparation, and spiritual reflection rooted in your own beliefs, values, and way of making meaning.

My role is to walk alongside you with warmth, steadiness, and compassion—without judgment and without agenda. I am here to help create space for honest conversations, tender moments, practical needs, and whatever else arises along the way. My hope is that you feel less alone, more supported, and more able to meet this time with a greater sense of peace.

Support may include:

  • guided conversations about illness, end-of-life wishes, and what matters most

  • emotional support and grounded presence during an uncertain or tender time

  • practical planning and help thinking through next steps

  • legacy work, reflection, and meaning-making

  • meditation support for anxiety, fear, and pain management

  • vigil planning and end-of-life preparation

  • space for spiritual reflection in a way that honors your own beliefs and practices

  • support for including loved ones in conversations

Visits are one hour, usually in person and often weekly, with flexibility depending on need. Sessions are available as single visits or in five- or ten-visit packages. This is a non-medical, non-caregiving role and does not include hands-on personal care or medical support.

Education & Seminars

Tailored to the needs of your group, these educational offerings can include introductory presentations on advance care planning as well as facilitated small-group conversations inspired by the Death Café and Death Over Dinner models. Designed to support thoughtful reflection, practical preparation, and open dialogue, these gatherings help make often-avoided topics feel more approachable, meaningful, and human.

Nonprofit and faith-based groups are eligible for complimentary one-hour presentations.
