‘Doula’ is a greek word meaning service, for me it is a service from the heart. As a doula I have the privilege of connecting with people during their outgoing journey, honouring their choices with compassion and dignity. Every person’s end of life journey is different, unique just as we are all individuals in life. My services can be provided individually or collectively, whatever your needs and choices are, which is detailed in a client agreement specific to you.
