Doula Services

What is an End-of-Life Doula?

An End-of-Life Doula is a trained companion who provides emotional, spiritual, and practical support to individuals and their loved ones as they approach death. Our role is to hold space, offering comfort and guidance, while helping individuals and families find peace, clarity, and connection during this deeply transformative time.

How I Can Support You

Every journey is unique, and my approach is tailored to your individual needs.

Some of the ways I can assist include:
 

  • Advance Care Planning: Advance Care Planning is about making decisions now for the care you want to receive in the future. At Between Realms, I offer compassionate guidance through this often overwhelming process, helping you articulate your wishes regarding medical treatment, life support, and end-of-life care. Together, we create a plan that reflects your values and desires, ensuring your voice is heard even when you cannot speak for yourself.

  • Vigil Planning and Support: Vigils offer a sacred space for loved ones to gather, witness, and honor the final moments of life. Between Realms provides personalized vigil planning and support, helping you create a meaningful experience that aligns with your spiritual beliefs. Whether at home or in hospice, I ensure that the vigil is a peaceful, sacred time for everyone involved.

  • Legacy Projects: Creating a legacy project allows you to leave a lasting mark on the world and your loved ones. Whether through writing letters, compiling a memory book, or crafting a special ritual, I guide you through the process of creating something meaningful that reflects your life and values. Legacy projects provide healing, closure, and connection for both you and those you leave behind.

  • MAiD Support: For individuals choosing Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), I offer non-judgmental, compassionate support throughout the process. I’m here to help you navigate the emotional, spiritual, and logistical aspects of this decision, providing comfort and understanding every step of the way.

  • Body Preparation and Home Funerals: Between Realms offers guidance for families wishing to participate in the intimate process of body preparation and home funerals. I offer guidance in caring for the body after death, ensuring that this sacred act is done with love, respect, and reverence. These services provide a hands-on approach to honoring a loved one’s transition creating a meaningful and intimate farewell.

  • Celebrant Services: As a trained funeral celebrant, I offer personalized services that honor the unique life and spirit of your loved one. I work closely with families to craft ceremonies that reflect your loved one’s beliefs, values, and wishes. By placing emphasis on ritual and ceremony, I ensure that the farewell is as beautiful and meaningful as the life lived.

  • Grief Support: Grieving is a natural part of the end-of-life journey, and I offer ongoing emotional support for individuals and families coping with loss. Between Realms provides a compassionate space for you to express your feelings, process your grief, and begin healing. Through one-on-one sessions or group support, I help you navigate this challenging time with tenderness and care.

  • ReikiWhether you’re seeking support for yourself or a loved one, I’m here to walk alongside you, offering care that honors the soul’s journey while ensuring that the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of everyone involved are met with kindness and understanding.

As an end-of-life doula, I believe that death is not just an ending but a profound transition. My work is about helping individuals and their families embrace this moment with dignity, compassion, and a deep sense of purpose.
