FACILITATION, WELLNESS & ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS

End of Life Doulas are a calming and reassuring presence with experience and knowledge of the death process, and a compassionate resource for families who may be overwhelmed and grieving at the impending death of their loved one. Death Doulas offer a variety of services to assist in the transition of dying, but are first and foremost a grounding, reliable, knowledgeable and comforting presence during a most emotional time.

We highly recommend every individual and family facing a terminal illness and end of life to contact the local hospice. Doula services do not replace hospice’s medical team of nursing and physician care, we can offer more time and more personalised attention. Our consistent relationships with our clients are not a service offered anywhere else. The advocacy, and availability beyond what hospice is normally able to provide due to health guidelines is also a difference. Doula training exceeds what hospice volunteer programs provide, we are trained to hold space with intent and deal with difficult emotions.

Death Doulas can be contacted at any time during the end of life process. The doula can enter into the process at anytime. The more time can be spent getting to know the individual and family, creating quality care plans, prioritising end of life needs, the better the outcome: creating meaning for the individual and loved ones.
