Our goal is to provide the dying and their families with calm, loving, nonmedical palliative support, and we do this heartfelt work with Honesty, Integrity, Dignity, and Grace. End of Life Doulas works with clients to identify, discuss, plan and set in motion their end of life wishes. We fill in "gaps" as they appear by supporting emotional, practical and spiritual needs.

$50/hr or a package of all-in planning (10 hours $450 for a single person) or (10 hours $475 for a couple)
It helps pull the family together and is important for a dying person to do a life review. We do legacy work with the family, and it can take many forms: artistic, music playlists, old photos, videos, stories, love letters, quilts, and scrap booking. The ideas are limitless! When a client is in the active dying stage (also known as Hospice Care), we offer vigil services, either in-home or hospice. If some family members can't be there, we can do a live feed or Zoom call, using technology to our advantage. Some are opting to die at home and have a home funeral service. We can plan for your choice of burial and present options, and we work closely with funeral homes.
$50 an hour or (10 hours $450)
One or many vigils may be held, depending on the family's wishes. After death, if there are any rituals that are either culturally or spiritually important to observe, such as washing the body and using oils or perfumes, we have time to slow down a bit and sit with your loved ones and try to start processing the magnitude of this passing. If the vigil time is shorter than ten hours, we can offer grief work to use the remainder of the hours.
There is no one way to grieve the loss of someone, it is a vulnerable space, and as doulas, we are committed to supporting and continuing the journey with the family as long as necessary. Grief support set up at the end of life planning stage can be updated and changed with more skills for grief and loss. The length of grieving has no rhyme or reason, and we can also refer clients for more help if necessary.
Grief Support : $45/hr (can apply any time left over from previous packages.)
We are dedicated to serving our companion clients with Comfort, Compassion and Connection and both End of Life Doula clients with Honesty, Dignity, Integrity, and Grace:
