Death Doula, Sacred Passage Guide, Death Midwife and End-of-Life Guide are a few names representing someone who tends to the dying. Death Doula is a relatively new term for our time. However, a person tending to the sacred space of dying is an ancient sacred practice around the world.

A Death Doula offers non-medical, holistic supportive care to a dying person and their loved ones by way of presence, guidance, advocacy, education, coaching and companionship. In modern society, death is often a topic that brings discomfort, anxiety, fear, and sometimes even anger. Death Doulas help navigate the unknowns of death while demystifying the dying process.
