What types of services do you provide?
I support people through every season of the dying process, and each service can stand alone or work together: Advance Care & Legacy Planning (before) — clarifying wishes, advance directives, legacy letters, and the conversations families often put off; Vigil Companioning (during) — steady, non-medical presence during active dying, for the person dying and the family sitting with them; After-Death Care (just after) — hands-on guidance for caring for the body at home and home funeral logistics; and Grief Support (ongoing) — continued space for those left behind, for as long as that takes.
What should clients know about your pricing(e.g., discounts, fees, packages)?
Pricing is straightforward: Advance Care & Legacy Planning is a 3-session package at $375; Vigil Companioning is $35/hr with a 4-hour minimum; After-Death Care is a full-service package at $525; and Grief Support is $55 per session, ongoing. A portion of package fees is due at booking to hold my calendar, sometimes on short notice. I'm currently completing my end-of-life doula certification, so I price accordingly — you're not paying full experienced-practitioner rates, and I'll always tell you plainly where I am in training. Cost should never be the reason someone goes without support — if it's a barrier, reach out and we'll figure it out together.
What is your typical process for working with a new client?
We usually start with a conversation about where you are and what kind of support would help. From there we scope the work together and I take a deposit to hold space on my calendar. Planning and grief sessions are billed per session; vigil work is billed hourly with the terms for last-minute and overnight calls walked through before we begin; after-death care is billed once the full scope of what's needed is clear.
What are some of the ways you have supported someone at end-of-life?
I spent time with my grandmother as she was in her final months. I sat with her, bathed her, and talked to her. This was very rewarding for me. After Kyle died, I navigated the funeral home and legal side of things
What advice would you give someone looking to hire an end-of-life doula?
Trust your gut as much as their credentials. This is someone you're inviting into one of the most intimate, vulnerable stretches of your life, so a first conversation should feel like relief, not another interview. Ask directly about their training and where they are in their certification — a doula in training isn't a red flag, but you deserve to know. Ask how they work alongside hospice and medical care, not instead of it, and what happens if you need them at 2 a.m. It's completely fair to talk to more than one doula before you decide. And notice how they talk about death itself — you want someone who can sit with whatever this particular death needs, not someone bringing their own agenda into your family's room.
What questions should clients think through before talking to doulas?
Start with where you actually are: are you planning ahead for a death that hasn't happened yet, in the middle of an active dying process, just past a death, or further out and still grieving? That shapes which support even makes sense right now. Think about who's already part of the care team — hospice, family, clergy, close friends — and where the real gaps are: is it practical help, steady presence, ritual, or simply someone with time when everyone else is stretched thin? It also helps to have a rough sense of your budget and how much notice you can give, especially for vigil support, since dying rarely keeps a schedule.
