"Think of a Doula as a native tour guide through a place you've never been before and where a different language is spoken. Without a Doula, you'll still get from point A to point B, but with a Doula, the quality and depth of your experience will be incredibly different."

End-of-Life Doula Services
Our services prioritize care, support, and advocacy for individuals facing their end-of-life journey, as well as their families.
Advanced Planning
Creating a personalized end-of-life plan involves helping individuals and their families make informed decisions about medical care, funeral or memorial service preferences, and understanding and organizing important legal documents such as Health Care Directives (DNR, POA). By encouraging open conversations, these plans align with personal values, providing peace of mind and clarity.
Doula Care
We focus on advocating for the wishes and needs of those who are dying. While not licensed to provide medical assistance, we work closely with healthcare providers. Our primary goal is to alleviate anxiety, guilt, and fear surrounding death by offering emotional and physical support, as well as education about the dying process. Doulas coordinate visitations, sit vigil during final moments, and create a judgment-free space for expression. They oversee care around the clock and facilitate crucial conversations among family members to address wishes and concerns, fostering closure and peace.
Grief Support
Providing supplemental grief counseling and a compassionate, understanding presence during the mourning process following the death of a loved one. We create a safe space for individuals and families to express their emotions and navigate their loss. We also offer resources such as counseling referrals, grief literature, and coping strategies. Practical support can include assistance with writing obituaries and planning funerals. By serving as a steady source of unbiased support, we help ease the emotional burden and encourage healing during this profoundly challenging time.
Legacy Project
It is often said that every person experiences two deaths: the first when they physically pass away, and the second when their name is spoken for the last time. Helping our clients find creative ways to ensure their memories and stories continue to live on is a valuable gift for their families. This not only provides a sense of comfort for the dying but also alleviates the fear of being forgotten after they are gone. Legacy projects serve as tangible gifts for loved ones, preserving memories for future generations.
Companion Animal Doula Care
The bond between pets and their humans is profound. Pet doulas provide compassionate care to both pets and their owners during the challenging process of saying goodbye. They offer emotional support, assist families in planning peaceful farewells, and help create meaningful rituals during euthanasia or natural transitions.
