Certified End of Life Doula

An End of Life Doula empowers, educates and encourages people and their families to be involved in making decisions around living and dying well . The word “Doula” is Greek for servant or helper. Like a birth doula supports women during the labour process, a death doula supports a person during the dying process. This support is specific to that persons needs, beliefs, and desires. Death is a process that can span over months, years or just days. Making a plan while you are healthy is encouraged by doulas, ensuring the care you receive at the end of your life is appropriate and aligned with your wishes.
