End-of-Life Guidance

Practical, non-medical end-of-life doula support for you and the people closest to you.

As an end-of-life doula based in Brooklyn, I support people who are nearing the end of life and the families and chosen loved ones caring for them. I help with the practical and emotional work that happens alongside medical care, from planning and family conversations to Companion Care and coordination with hospice.

Hospice and palliative care teams handle clinical care. My role is non-medical: helping you understand what is happening, figure out what needs attention, communicate with the people involved, and manage some of the work that can otherwise fall entirely on the family.

I start by listening, then shape my support around your needs, energy, and values. End-of-Life Guidance draws from all my core offerings: Advance Care Planning, Vigil Planning, and Companion Care

In-person end-of-life support is available in Brooklyn and parts of Manhattan. Virtual planning and guidance are available nationwide.

What’s Included

I provide non-medical support tailored to your needs, working in collaboration with your care team and loved ones. This service draws from all core offerings—Advance Care Planning, Vigil Planning, and Companion Care—and reflects your values, preferences, and priorities.

Support may include:

  • Emotional and practical support for you and your loved ones

  • Vigil and after-death planning

  • Advance Care Planning, including key documents and conversations

  • Life review and legacy projects (letters, recordings, keepsakes)

  • Companion Care

  • Coordination with hospice, palliative care, or other providers

  • Flexible in-person and virtual visits (in-person in NYC; virtual care nationwide)

Please note that I do not provide medical treatment, medication administration, or personal care. My role is to enhance—not replace—the care already in place.

The visits are shaped by your goals, energy, and what’s happening day to day. There’s no script—just steady presence, clear communication, and responsive care. Most clients begin with 1–2 visits per week, each lasting 2–3 hours. As needs shift, visits may increase to 4–5 times per week. We’ll work together to find a rhythm that feels supportive and sustainable.

Depending on your needs, support might include:

  • Exploring what a peaceful death looks like to you

  • Facilitating honest conversations with family or chosen loved ones

  • Creating legacy materials that reflect your life and values

  • Discussing vigil preferences—music, environment, comfort, rituals

  • Coordinating logistics and visitor schedules

  • Offering calm, grounded presence during difficult moments

  • Acting as a bridge between you and your care team

  • Giving caregivers space to rest or take a break

I’m here to reduce stress, ease uncertainty, and help everyone feel a little more prepared.
