Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

A doula is a non-medical role best defined by the International End-of-Life Doula Association as "End-of-life doulas will work with a dying person, their family, friends, and caregivers in the last months of life to support them emotionally, spiritually, and physically. The end-of-life (EOL) doulas will also provide information to help the dying person and others make choices about, or understand the nature of, the dying process. "  More can be found in the Scope of Practice on request. 


Advanced care planning allows for your wishes and decisions to be made while you are in charge and able to openly speak for yourself.  They allow your doctors and other health care providers to know your wishes while allowing your family and other loved ones to focus on their grieving while honoring your wishes.
