Why Work with an End fo Life Doula?

Modern healthcare services provide wonderful treatment of medical needs. However, the emotional, social, and spiritual needs at the end of life are equally vital, and often services provided simply do not have the resources available to meet these needs for many. 

The doula does not replace medical and clinical services.  

Thinking about the details of dying is something many people shy away from. Thankfully, talking about dying doesn't make it happen!

It is surprising the things that come to mind, and what we don't know is possible until we start a conversation.

It is important to record these things and communicate them with loved ones.

 While many people have made their Last Will and Testament, most of us are not quite as organised with planning how medical care will be provided should we not be able to speak for ourselves. 

I can guide you through this process, explaining its importance, and ensuring you have considered all relevant aspects and recorded your wishes appropriately.  

• Empower you and your family with a sense of control and preparedness 
• Provide continuity of non-medical care 
• Facilitate conversations that uphold dignity and personal choice. 
• Alleviate feelings of isolation for both the individual and their caregivers.
