End-of-life Doula
With a professional background as a hospice nurse, I have supported many individuals and families through life’s most tender transitions.
As an End-of-Life Doula, I blend clinical skill with holistic modalities — including communicating with your hospice team, navigating pain and comfort care, and, if desired, providing holistic care based on yoga, meditation, deep breathing, therapeutic massage, and the light use of essential oils; creating comfort, ease, and emotional grounding.
My goal is to support clients physically, emotionally, and spiritually with a calm, knowledgeable, and compassionate presence.

Guidance Through the Dying Process
With hospice bedside experience, I guide families through what to expect during the dying process, help educate regarding medication management, scheduled versus as-needed medications, and the importance of an effective bowel regimen.
My background allows me to assist and teach regarding: anxiety, agitation, breathing issues, swallowing precautions, nausea, pain, secretions, wound care, and more.
Having an end-of-life doula offers that extra support that a hospice organization may not have time for. This extra care can help ease restlessness, fear, or discomfort for families and the individual who is dying.
Holistic Wellness Enhancement
Drawing from hospice nursing and holistic healing, I provide grounding presence, guidance, and hands-on care to support clients and families.
Supporting comfort, emotional balance, and a peaceful environment, I integrate a range of holistic practices:
Essential oils for aromatherapy, relaxation, and emotional support
Meditation and guided visualization for peace
Deep breathing exercises to reduce anxiety
Therapeutic massage for pain and tension relief
Gentle yoga for comfort & Pilates-inspired movements for stability
All modalities are adapted to each client’s preferences, energy level, and physical ability.

Support for Medical Aid in Dying (MAID)
I provide non-judgmental, compassionate support for individuals choosing Medical Aid in Dying.
My hospice nursing background ensures a calm, informed presence, while holistic tools help create a peaceful environment.
Support includes emotional preparation, presence during the process, and assistance for loved ones afterward.
Facilitating Communication
As a hospice nurse and end-of-life doula, I serve as a bridge between families and medical teams. I help ensure that your wishes are respected and clearly communicated, and that you feel supported through your decision-making process.
If you or a loved one is seeking compassionate, experienced, holistic end-of-life support, I would be honored to help.
