End of Life Care

As an end of life Doula, I do not offer medical care other than what is in my scope of practice as a massage therapist.  Over the years, it has not been uncommon for clients to ask me to continue caring for them as they are transitioning through their final days.​ It is truly an honor & humbling experience, and I am grateful for those who have invited me into their space.

First and foremost, I am here to assist the person in understanding their wants and needs during this difficult time. This comes in many forms:

​

~Work alongside hospice and other healthcare providers

~Offer support for the family and loved ones

~Allow space for the person who is dying to have a voice

~Listen & hold space for an open and honest conversation about death and the dying process

~Create guided meditations or rituals specific to a person's religious faith or spirituality

~Find creative ways to honor the person after they have died

​~Allow the family to have a chance to rest knowing we're together, side by side.​
