We are here to educate, support and empower clients and their families during the end of life proces I talk about it all the time and I am still here!
I am a death doula and death educator who is passionate about providing public information/education about dying, death and how to best prepare for an inevitable end. I love helping people prepare ahead of time for how they want their end of life to look. Recently, I became the Chapter Chair for Dying with Dignity Canada. Among other services, we help inform and educate about Medical Assistance in Dying and try to dispel the myths and provide the truths. If you are hesitant or afraid of talking about death, I can help make you more comfortable to jump into some of the scariest yet educational discussions you may ever have. Just because we talk about dying and death doesn't mean it will happen to us right away. I am the Co-Founder of the Death Doula Network of BC find us at https://ddnint.com/ and we are the proud

If you want to know the straight facts about Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada then you are going to want to attend this event with Dr. Stefanie Green. I have already registered.
What You Think You Know About MAiD in Canada Is Probably Wrong. Let’s Fix That. On October 22, CAMAP invites you to a powerful, 60-minute online event featuring Dr. Stefanie Green — a leading voice in MAiD and one of its early pioneers in Canada.
Dr. Green will answer your questions, debunk the myths, and explain how MAiD really works: who is eligible, what safeguards are in place, and what the law actually says.
This event is free to attend and essential if you care about truth, fact, and informed public discourse.
A workshop for end-of-life doulas—and any other practitioners, makers and service providers—seeking practical guidance and tools for offering clients a sliding fee scale. One of the biggest roadblocks to a successful flexible payment structure is clear communication. We’ll delve into why, when...

We all have choices....right up until the day we die
We celebrate birth and other significant events in our life. Now it’s time to think about celebrating our end stage as well.
I am an End of Life Doula & Consultant.
The word “doula” is from a Greek term describing women who serve. The concept of an end-of-life or "death" doula is part of an emerging trend on how to re-imagine and approach death.
I have successfully made a living helping people rebuild their lives after tragedy has struck and my own experiences with loss, helping others reconcile loss and walking along with those taking the journey has strengthened and encouraged me to work with others to help them find their voice and make their own choices about what is best for them.
Through my own personal experiences I have gained insight into the gaps in the end of life process, and I want to help you prepare for this journey and navigate through the obstacles.
Do you....
Have care plan documents in place in the event you are unable to speak for
yourself?
Know your options around death and dying?
Want to learn about money saving alternatives ?
Know how to tell your loved ones what they mean to you?
Have the proper legal documents in place?
Have a “bucket list” ?
I work with a team of trained professionals which include a registered clinical counselor, accredited grief and loss counselors, financial advisers, funeral pre-planning consultants and funeral homes.
My role is to support and assist the dying person, their families, and friends through the end of life process – in a non-medical, non-judgmental, and compassionate way.
I believe having your end of life plans in place is the greatest gift you can leave your loved ones and I would like to help you do just that!
