End-of-Life (Death) Doula Services

---

The purpose of my end-of-life (death) doula practice is to honor the individual and their loved ones during one of life’s most intimate, unique, and transformative moments. I create a grounded and compassionate space for comfort, companionship, and partnership before and during the end-of-life transition. My overarching intention is to help people remember that they are souls in transition—moving from one embodied life to the next experience. I am here to support others in feeling heard, valued, and at peace with their transition, guiding them through the experience in a way that respects their soul and core values. 

Together, we make the end-of-life experience just as meaningful as the beginning by creating opportunities for acceptance, reconciliation, resolve, and letting go. Death is fundamentally about life because it serves as a threshold that gives meaning and urgency to living. I can support you in developing an authentic relationship with your life even before you begin your end-of-life journey. I help you develop a deeper relationship to the transformative nature of life and its impermanence.

I am ​especially honored to support clients with the creation of life reviews, writing letters, and recording personal stories and memoirs—this work can be done much before or during the dying process. I also enable open and honest conversations about death, fears, or concerns with the dying and their loved ones. I offer practical guidance and comfort by helping the dying person navigate the dying process, helping to make meaning of the experience and find the words they wish to express to themselves and others. When possible, I also help individuals carry out and resolve matters that would support a peaceful transition. This work helps the dying understanding that they can have complete control of how they wish to die. 

I am called to offer death care as a result of my own experiences with transitions and mourning and supporting the beloveds around me. I understand the importance of taking care of the relationships we have and the impact of our words and actions, not only at the end but also throughout the course of our lives. I began formal training in 2020 and earned End-of-Life Doula certification at the University of Vermont. Overall, life experience has been my greatest teacher. Currently based in the US Bay Area, I offer services to clients based locally and virtually anywhere. My first languages are English and Spanish.
