What does an End of Life Doula (consultant) do and why would I want to hire one?

Facing the end of life of someone you love or care for is often a very challenging, confusing and overwhelming journey.                 

There are a myriad of things to plan for and manage, options to explore, choices to make as well as medical and life issues to navigate.   

"The honest thing I can say about the doulas in my network is everyone has been through a personal process of death. From my personal experience coming from a difficult situation at my mum’s end of life, I was seeking answers to improve the end of life process so others don’t have to experience the same pain." 

I am following my heart to help those in need of care, with empathy and compassion and act as their advocate to provide non-medical, holistic support and comfort to the dying person and their family, which may include education and guidance as well as emotional, spiritual or practical care.  e.
