Death Doula Work
Death doulas are people who offer non-medical support to dying people and/or their loved ones through life's final transition. One can seek out death doula support at any stage of life, and doula support is not exclusive to those who are dying, but can be extremely beneficial for caregivers and loved ones as well. The non-medical end of life support offered spans a range of activities from respite care for caregivers, to sitting at the bedside, to planning wills and funeral arrangements, to facilitating vigil, ritual, and legacy plans.
​
Our meetings will be guided by the needs and desires of you, the client, as you walk on this path towards your transition or that of your loved one. I will create and hold space for anything and everything you want to talk through, let go of, or build in service of your transition. You set the pace, and I am here to walk alongside you.
​
Deeper descriptions of vigil, ritual, and legacy planning are below. Packages on our Services page include these and other forms of support. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions about the care and support offered. Please drop a note in the Contact section if you'd like to set up a free one hour consultation.

VIGIL PLANNING
I am here to help you plan what you want your transition to look and feel like, for you and the loved ones you want to have at your bedside. I want to help facilitate the experience you wish to have, with the people you want to have there, as you arrive on the threshold between this life and whatever comes next.
LEGACY WORK
What would you like to leave behind, or have your beloveds participate in to remember your story and celebrate your life? This can be anything from a project to an event that happens once or annually, based in the things you loved and found purpose and joy in. I am honored to help facilitate the creation of a legacy project or event with you and those you love.
RITUAL PLANNING
What would you like your beloveds to do to mark your passing from the world we know to whatever lies beyond? I can help design and facilitate a ritual meaningful to you and those whom you wish to participate. This can be a loving act that offers a sense of peace and finality to both you and the people who love you.
