Death Doula Services
What is a Death Doula or Companion?
Death Doulas or Death Companions assist and support people in the end of life process.
Many people are afraid of death, or in denial of death or have not been allowed to talk about it.
Death doulas create a safe space for people to express their fears, be heard and get questions answered.
Death Doulas are trained to create an atmosphere of peace, kindness and compassionate presence during the dying process. We assist with the practical, "get your affairs in order" information. We educate about all aspects of the death process and after death process. We provide emotional support and comfort. We connect people to their authentic spirituality. We create rituals and ceremonies that bring peace to the dying person. We help with legacy projects and with creating funeral services or end of life celebrations. We shine a light into the dark, scary, mysterious to discover the brilliant, sacred, mystical.
