Helping You and Your Loved One Find Serenity and Comfort
at the End of Life
What is an End-of-Life Doula?
The National End of Life Doula Alliance defines End-of-Life Doulas (EOLD) as those who “provide non-medical, holistic care and support to the dying person and their family which may include education and guidance as well as emotional, spiritual, and practical care from early diagnosis through bereavement.”
When faced with a chronic illness or a terminal diagnosis, conversations about death and end-of-life care can be difficult.
However, talking about these issues are necessary to make sure that you or your loved one will live
with dignity and respect in the final days.
Let Serenity show you how!
Through interactive workshops and presentations, I will provide you with the tools you need to have the those difficult
conversations about how you want to be cared for at the end of your life.
Serenity's goal is to empower you to improve the quality of your life by ensuring that your advance care plan is in place,
thereby alleviating your loved one's of the burden of making end-of life decisions for you.
