Plans and Services

At Peaceful Passages EOL Doula Services, we create space for peace of mind for individuals and their families though emotional, educational, and spiritual support.

 

I am available through all transition stages, from notice of a terminal illness through the dying and death process. I provide practical, personalized support by protection and honoring a dying individual’s personal experience and important choices while helping family members cope and navigate the road ahead.

 

*Our doula services are not covered by insurance providers at this time.
