My role as an end-of-life doula, soul midwife, or death companion is to listen, ease, calm and soothe. A person who provides loving, peaceful, and caring support at the end of life.
Â
I work with you, as much or as little as you wish, throughout your end of life journey. Listening and talking with your loved ones at the end of your life can be emotional and complex. I help to facilitate and navigate those conversations, making connections and understanding with those who mean the most to you. I bring various holistic skills learnt whilst working within the Health and Celebrant industries for 30 years. I will continue my education and learning. Keep myself updated and aware of available support and resources, and provide the highest professional service.
Â
All my work is heart-led, providing non-medical, emotional, spiritual, and practical support, delivered with open-minded, non-judgement, loving care and compassion.
Â
I offer support as you attend your appointments, acting as an impartial presence to help on those difficult days, working through information given, providing a place to laugh and a soft pillow for tears to land or simply sharing a much needed cuppa, working alongside your Doctor and Health Team providing you with the highest level of support and care.
Â
I will create a plan with you, explaining and finding the resources you need as you navigate your personal journey.
Â
Here are just some of the services I offer.
Â
• I can accompany you to appointments, guiding and helping with resources.
•  Empowering you and your loved ones through education and understanding.
 • Support with Advanced Care Planning and your end-of-life care wishes.
• Listening deeply, facilitating and advocating for you and yours.
• Helping to organise visits from friends and family, bedside vigils, rosters of care, etc.
•  Various holistic services, including massage, oils, and rituals, to create a peaceful and loving space.
•  Lasting memory, writing/telling your story and leaving a legacy.
•  Facilitating and advocating conversations with the people you love and care for.
•  Support and understanding of what your life's last days, hours and moments may look like.Â
• Including after death body care and arrangements.
• Planning your last goodbye as a living celebration, funeral or memorial.

Â
I would love to meet with you to discuss and determine how best I can support you and your loved ones.
