Thinking about and preparing for the end of our lives can feel overwhelming, bewildering, and downright scary. Despite the many cultural advancements we've made over the last few decades, the topic of death remains one most of us still avoid. Yet, it is a topic that deserves our attention because life is unpredictable. At any given moment, our circumstances can change. We can find ourselves in a medical crisis that requires critical care and life support decisions to be made with us or on our behalf. My passion is to facilitate thoughtful and informative conversations that will help you identify and document your values and personal wishes about medical care and treatment before or when facing a serious or life-limiting illness. Planning ahead can provide peace of mind not only for you, but for all others involved in your care during the final hours, days, or months of your life.

As a certified doula specialist, I offer the following:

• End-of-life doula services – providing education and support to individuals and family/significant others before and after death.

• Care Consultant services– Providing guidance in identifying healthcare agents, completing advance directive documentation, and facilitating conversations to communicate your wishes to others.

• Eldercare doula services – Providing assessment and guidance in identifying and obtaining available benefits and other resources needed to maintain independence and safety.

If you or someone you love are looking for support navigating the labyrinth of end-of-life preparation, it would be my great honor and privilege to assist you.
