What types of services do you provide?

advance planning: if you are thinking ahead for yourself or preparing for the death of someone else, I'll facilitate a discussion about what's most important to you or them at the end of life. Then we'll create a care plan that reflects those choices. care management: odds are many people are involved in your loved one's care - doctors, caregivers, financial advisors, assisted living providers & out-of-town relatives. Let me be the central communicator so everyone stays on the same page. caregiver training: your role as a family caregiver or professional caregiver manager can be extremely overwhelming. I'll educate you on what to expect as your loved one's disease progresses and be a trusted friend & partner as you navigate the unknown. time-of-death logistics: in order to support family and friends who are actively grieving, I help make funeral arrangements & advise you on other necessary to-dos. I'll walk you through a custom checklist so nothing slips through the cracks.

What should clients know about your pricing(e.g., discounts, fees, packages)?

My hourly rate is $100/hr but I often provide package pricing (fully customized) for clients with ongoing needs (frequent home visits, call & text support, etc). Sliding scale fee structure also available upon request.

What is your typical process for working with a new client?

Unlike a doctor or attorney, I provide holistic, non-medical care for the dying and educate overwhelmed loved ones. No task is too small & there are no stupid questions. We will start with a free phone call and then schedule a time for me to meet your loved one in person to come up with a care plan.

What are some of the ways you have supported someone at end-of-life?

I've helped many families cope with what you're going through right now - gaps in the healthcare system, insurance paperwork, hospice eligibility, caregiver burnout, and more. When you're grieving or stressed, think of me as a qualified friend who will walk the journey alongside you.

Do you offer any other services beyond end-of-life doula support (e.g. advanced care planning, paralegal, legacy services, chaplaincy services)?

Yes. In addition to compassionate care at the bedside, I provide sophisticated logistical and emotional support for family caregivers. My background in business makes me particularly well suited for complex estate issues and problem-solving.
