Heart-led End-of-Life Support

What is an End-of-Life Doula?

An End-of-Life Doula is a trained, non-medical support person who offers guidance, care, education, and emotional presence to people with life-limiting diagnoses and their loved ones.

The person nearing the end of life is like a traveller. A doula is a companion for that journey, a grounded presence who walks beside the individual and their family, helping them feel safe, informed, and supported.

This role is distinct from a carer. A doula provides:

• Compassionate listening

• Support for planning and choices aligned with your values

• Energetic and emotional guidance

• Ritual, presence, and companionship
  Whether you're preparing for death, supporting a loved one, or processing loss, a doula holds space for what matters most.

Gentle End-of-Life Support

Each person’s journey is unique, and so is the support required to walk beside them.

Sometimes I am simply there to sit quietly, offering calm and grounded presence. Other times, I hold space for emotion to be expressed, or offer gentle touch that brings comfort to the body and nervous system. For those open to it, I can also offer subtle energetic support, using techniques like Reiki to help ease anxiety, soothe tension, and create space for letting go.

Many of us carry more than just physical discomfort near the end of life—there may be emotional weight, spiritual questions, or energetic restlessness. My approach is always intuitive and tailored to the moment, whether through holding a hand, soft breathwork, or placing my hands gently at the heart or head to support peace.

I don’t see someone who is sick or broken. I see a whole person on a threshold still very much alive preparing to cross into another chapter. My role is to meet them there with compassion, stillness, and respect.

This work is deeply personal for me. When I sat beside my own mother as she prepared to pass, I felt how meaningful this kind of presence can be. I held her hand, offered comfort, and surrounded her with love and calm. That experience affirmed everything I now bring into my doula work.

What My Role Can Look Like

End-of-life support is never one-size-fits-all. Each family and each transition is different. My role is shaped around what’s needed and always begins with an open conversation.

Some of the stages I commonly support include:

• Living with a terminal illness
  Gentle companionship, emotional support, intuitive guidance, energy work, or creating space for honest conversations and planning.

• Palliative Care
  Calm presence, emotional grounding, energy healing, support for family members, and tending to the emotional and spiritual landscape of this time.

• Active Dying / End of Life
  Bedside presence, gentle touch, quiet vigil holding, offering comfort and sacredness as the soul prepares to transition.

• After Death
  Support in the sacred window after death, holding space for family, and helping navigate what needs to happen next.

• Funeral Planning Support
  Assistance making phone calls, coordinating logistics, or simply offering a calm presence while you navigate arrangements. I can support in organising or co-creating ceremony elements that feel meaningful to your family.

• Ritual & Ceremony
  Creating gentle, personalised rituals at the bedside, after passing, or to mark transitions and honour grief.

• Bereavement Support
  Ongoing presence through grief. This may include emotional check-ins, energy work, or holding space as the family adjusts in the weeks and months that follow.

I'm here to help guide you through what needs doing and connect you with the right people be it a funeral director, celebrant, or someone to support with legal documents and planning. You're not alone in any of this.

My Story

My path into end-of-life work unfolded naturally through my Reiki practice and deepened profoundly as I supported my mum in her final days. She was in the active dying phase with dementia confused and afraid. I connected with her through Reiki and soul-to-soul communication. As I offered energy work, I felt her soften. Her fear gave way to calm, her body relaxed, and her spirit began to accept what was happening.

Even as she became non-verbal, I stayed tethered to her offering presence and comfort until her final breath. I held one of her hands, while my dad held the other.

That sacred transition changed me. I realised I wasn’t just holding space for my mum I was holding space for the whole family, for the process itself. Becoming an End-of-Life Doula was simply the formal recognition of what I already knew in my bones: I am here to walk this path with others.

Session Prices & Packages

Each soul’s journey is unique and so is the care required to support it. I offer my services in flexible hourly packages to keep things spacious and attuned, without pressure. These hours can be used for Reiki, bedside presence, intuitive support, ceremony creation, or space-holding for loved ones.

We begin with a free, no-obligation call or meeting to gently explore what kind of support feels right for you.

Or choose from one of the following package options:

5 hours – $425 ($85 per hour)

After-Hours Rate (e.g. for work between 8pm and 8am) after-hours support may incur an additional fee and is discussed case by case

Packages are prepaid, valid for 12 months, and can be shared across family members. Hours can be used flexibly for the person transitioning, their loved ones, or both depending on what’s most supportive at the time.

To keep things clear and collaborative, I provide a short follow-up summary after each contact or session, including time used. This allows you to track your package hours with ease and transparency.

Payment plans are available by arrangement.
I understand that this kind of care is often needed during emotionally and financially tender times. If paying upfront feels out of reach, we can set up a flexible plan that honours both your needs and the integrity of this work.
