End of Life Doula Services

What is an End
Of Life Doula?

An end of life doula is a non-medical professional who provides support to people who are facing a terminal illness or in their dying time. They offer practical, emotional, and spiritual support to the dying person and their loved ones.

An end of life doula can assist in navigating one’s final days with comfort, dignity, and a sense of agency, while also providing support to their loved ones by facilitating communication and addressing their needs throughout the experience; acting as a non-medical companion to guide them through this transition.

What to Expect

End of life care takes a community. I will work collaboratively with various community organizations and resources to suit your needs.  

Having one accredited end of life doula course under my belt, personal experience, volunteer experience, and my work as a counsellor have given me a body of knowledge and wisdom to pull from and move forward with this work. That being said, I am new to end-of-life doula work!  If you or someone you love could benefit from these services, please contact me for a consultation. I would be honoured to serve you and your loved ones.
