Compassionate end-of-life guidance, care, and presence for you and your loved ones
Death Doula Support
Compassionate end-of-life guidance, care, and presence for you and your loved ones.
Whether you are preparing for your own end of life, caring for a loved one, or navigating grief, death doula support offers a steady, compassionate presence tailored to your needs, including guidance for Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD) in New Jersey and other end-of-life choices.
I provide one-on-one death doula support to individuals and families, often working in collaboration with hospice care teams to ensure comfort, guidance, and meaningful end-of-life experiences. It’s never too early to begin this work; starting before hospice care allows you to feel prepared, supported, and at peace.
This work goes far beyond logistics. It’s about creating space for emotional clarity, honoring your values, and finding calm in the face of uncertainty. Together, we focus on what truly matters: connection, presence, and dignity for you and your loved ones.
Through gentle guidance, attentive listening, and heartfelt support, you’ll feel reassured, cared for, and not alone. We navigate fears, explore wishes, and create an environment of understanding so that you and your caregivers can move through this time with confidence, compassion, and peace.

Further Reading & Listening
What is a death doula and why do you need one?
A death doula is a non-medical person trained to care for someone holistically, taking into account the whole person's needs at the end of life. The doula helps to make sure their emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical needs are met.
Why is doula support around the time of death so important?
The significance of death doula support during the dying phase in someone’s life lies in its holistic approach that addresses all of the dying process: emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual.
To deepen your understanding of the work of death doulas, I’ve compiled a list of podcast episodes from Seeing Death Clearly that feature conversations with professionals in this field.
