“Sometimes in life we just need someone who will be there for us. Someone who will listen. Someone who will understand us.” Unknown
Holistic Services
Due to the reality of the modern family structure and our increasingly challenged medical system, we provide support and care for the precious, aging population. We give the elderly the reverence and care they deserve.
The dying have specific fears and needs that need to be addressed at the end of life. Most of us haven’t been raised in a society that openly discusses death as a natural part of life, so when we’re faced with mortality, we are unsure how to communicate our needs and desires. This can lead to many challenges.
You Are Not Alone End of Life Doulas have been trained to understand and meet the needs of the dying person and their loved ones. We understand how to actively listen and hold space for the dying and their families to do the work needed to have a good death.
