Free Consultation
Finding the right fit for your journey is so important. I offer a free 60 minute consultation so we can talk through your needs, answer questions, and see if I’m the right doula for you and your family.
Legacy Projects
These projects can take many forms and are inspired by the dying person’s own life and interests. They might include creating a collage or scrapbook, curating a shared playlist, gathering favorite recipes, writing down values and life lessons to share with others, or planning parts—or all—of one’s own funeral.
End of Life Planning Support
Education and guidance on caring for the body after death, burial and casket options, and choices around cremation, embalming, eco-friendly and natural disposition options. We can also explore the type of ceremony or memorial that feels most meaningful to you and the ways you’d like to be honored and remembered.
Companionship & Vigil
Gentle presence for the dying person or their family & caregivers.
This might include silent companionship, life review & memory keeping, story sharing, gentle touch, creating a comforting & sacred space.
Caregiver Respite Visits
Gentle companionship and support in your absence, ensuring the person you're caretaking is not alone while you take time to rest, tend to personal needs, or simply take a breath.
Support with practical tasks such as errand running, organization, appointment scheduling and transportation are also available.
Home Funeral Guidance
Support in planning after-death care at home. Guidance on ritual baths, anointing, lying in honor, and home funeral options.
Available as part of a multi-hour doula package, or as a stand alone offering starting at $200, depending on scope of involvement.
Tea & Mortality Chats
Sometimes you just need someone to talk to about death.
Thinking about our mortality can feel strange, heavy, or even a little lonely in a culture that rarely makes space for these conversations.
We can talk about whatever’s on your mind— the dying process, end-of-life planning, grief, or simply what it means to live with death in view.
There’s no agenda here, just a calm & compassionate space to wonder aloud, ask questions, and find comfort in giving voice to this profound human experience we all share.
Rates & Flexible Support Plans
Individual visits are offered at $40/hr.
Every family’s journey is unique. If you’d benefit most from ongoing support, I offer customizable bundles of care at a reduced rate from my regular hourly fee.
These plans can include any combination of my services and can be adjusted as needs change over time.
Examples:
• 6 hours – $225
• 10 hours – $370
• 20 hours – $700
