"Facing end-of-life decisions can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone." In this heartfelt blog, I share how end-of-life doulas offer calm, holistic support through every step of the journey; from legacy projects to bedside vigils and gentle Reiki healing. If you or a loved one is navigating this sacred transition, this is for you.
At some point in all of our lives, we will be touched by the journey of death, whether through a loved one’s passing or in facing our own mortality.
During this sacred and often overwhelming transition, families are not meant to walk alone. This is where the support of an End-of-Life Doula becomes a gentle, grounding presence, someone who walks beside, holds space, and brings light to the path. I offer compassionate, holistic end-of-life doula services to support individuals and families with care that goes beyond the clinical. My role is not medical, but deeply human: to offer emotional, spiritual, and energetic support tailored to your needs and values.
What Is an End-of-Life Doula?
An End-of-Life Doula is a trained, non-medical support person who provides guidance and companionship before, during, and after the dying process. Think of us as soul companions, advocates who bring presence, planning, and peace to a time that can often feel uncertain and isolating.
Whether you're a caregiver, a family member, or someone preparing for your own transition, a doula can help hold the emotional, practical, and sacred aspects of the journey.
Holistic Services I Offer:
At the heart of my work is the belief that death is a transition, not an ending, and that everyone deserves dignity, choice, and calm as they cross this threshold. My end-of-life doula offerings include:
🌿 Advance Care Planning
Together, we explore your values and wishes for care, including support with personal directives, care goals, and communication with loved ones. These conversations ease the burden on families and ensure your voice is honored.
🌸 Memory & Legacy Projects
From photo albums to storytelling recordings or meaningful rituals, we create personalized projects that capture your essence and offer comfort to those you love. Legacy work is a beautiful way to leave behind connection, wisdom, and love.
🕯️ Bedside Vigil Support
In the final hours or days, I provide calm, compassionate presence at the bedside. Whether through guided visualization, reading, prayer, silence, or energy work, I help hold sacred space for a peaceful transition.
💜 Grief Support
Grief does not begin at the moment of death, it starts with anticipatory feelings and continues through the tides of mourning. I offer non-judgmental support during and after loss, including one-on-one conversations, ritual ideas, and tools to navigate the waves.
Reiki Energy Healing During End-of-Life
All of my end-of-life doula services include the option of Reiki energy healing, offered gently and intuitively. Reiki brings a deep sense of peace, comfort, and balance to both the person transitioning and their loved ones. It can help ease anxiety, pain, restlessness, and support emotional release when words fall short.
These quiet moments of energy connection often become some of the most meaningful, reminding us that love is still present, even as the body prepares to let go.
Everyone Deserves Support—Including You
I understand that during times of illness or transition, financial resources may be limited. At Purple Phoenix Wellness, I offer sliding scale options for all my end-of-life doula services.
