What an End of Life Doula does
No person's experience is exactly the same. Your journey is your own and unique to you. If you or a loved one are facing the end of life and are looking for support to plan, process and create your own vision, I can be brought in at any point along your journey to support you.
My services listed below are in no particular order and may happen at any time. When a Doula is invited in early on, we can have a more positive impact on the individual, family and friends.
