The dying process can be a time of intense emotion, transformation and healing. It is an intimate, time-limited rite of passage. As an End of Life Doula, Guide and Advocate, I work with clients and their carers to create an intentional and heartfelt journey that is infused with as much beauty and meaning as possible. I do this by companioning clients on their path, using the wisdom I've gathered from serving others through this process.

While Doulas offer a broad array of services, I focus on four specific ones which include guiding clients through help in:
- Finding Hospice Services - many don’t know they have a choice when it comes to hospice. This is important for those who might want to mitigate prolonged suffering by choosing either Medical Aid in Dying also known as MAID or Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking also known as VSED. MAID is legal in 11 U.S. states and VSED is legal in all 50 of the United States.
- Planning and implementing Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking in order to maintain some degree of agency over one's own dying process.
- Finding appropriate Mortuary Services - there a new options including Alkaline Hydrolysis and Natural Organic Reduction and many other permutations that I can help clients explore.
- Planning and implementing Family Involved Death Care where the caring circle spends a few hours or a few days being a part of and overseeing the care of their loved one. I collaborate with funeral directors who are amenable to providing this type of support. Together we offer this service in person and virtually.
