When a loved one’s medical condition affects their safety and independence, they or their family often need to ask for help. I offer care and support for patients and families who are experiencing special needs due to illness. I understand that each individual’s needs are different. The non-medical services that I provide offer the necessary assistance needed at home to maintain a safe and independent lifestyle, allowing patients to remain in their home and offering peace of mind to families and caregivers. This may include:
-
Providing companionship and conversation.
-
Reminder services (medications, dates, routines, etc.)
-
Preparing light, healthy meals
-
Performing light housekeeping
-
Running errands (prescription pick-up, shopping, etc.)
-
Accompanying to medical appointments and social engagements
-
Engaging in meaningful activities

End-of-life doulas 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, from as early as initial diagnosis through bereavement.
Working with an end-of-life doula can make talking about death and dying more comfortable. It's ok if you don’t know how to ask for or offer support when someone you love is dying; an end-of-life doula can help. Having experience accompanying individuals and families before, during and after the time of transition from this world allows me to ease this transition for you. I support individuals, families and significant others during end of life, by assisting with:
-
Companion hospice patients and caregivers
-
Supporting the spiritual journey (addressing fears and concerns)
-
Life Review and Legacy Leaving (memory making: photo album, video, etc.)
-
Intentional planning for the end of life journey
-
Planning end of life celebrations and rituals
-
Funeral and/or vigil planning and personal property assistance
