What is a death doula?
A death doula is a professionally trained end-of-life guide who provides holistic non-medical support to individuals and their loved ones during life’s transitions.
Unlike medical professionals, death doulas focus on emotional, spiritual, and practical assistance, helping people navigate end-of-life experiences with dignity and compassion.
Death doulas bridge the gap between medical care and personal, compassionate support during one of life's most profound transitions.
MISSION STATEMENT
Meet Michael
I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience a good death—one defined on their own terms, held with dignity and supported with compassion. My mission is to walk alongside individuals and their loved ones through the end-of-life journey offering presence, partnership, education and practical guidance. I honor each person’s unique story, values, and choices, creating an environment of peace, meaning, forgiveness and connection.
