End-of-Life Doula Support
Planning, presence, and practical help through the hardest chapter.
Dying is not only medical. It's logistical, emotional, relational, and spiritual, and most families are handling it all for the first time, exhausted, with no map.
I'm not a nurse, and I don't manage medical care; I help carry the rest of it.
Right now, love and fear probably share the same address. Gratitude and anger might too. That’s not you doing this wrong. That’s what this is.
Trained in end-of-life care through Douglas College and in grief support through Living Through Loss. More about me...
This might be for you if...
“We just got a terminal diagnosis and don't know where to start.”
“My mom has dementia, and my sibling and I can’t talk about it without it turning into a fight.”
“I'm the one holding the family together, and I have no one holding me.”
“We've made our decisions. We just need someone steady beside us.”
“I want to understand what's ahead before we're in the middle of it.”
What it actually looks like
Every family's path is different, so this is built around yours rather than a fixed script. It can include:
Planning conversations: what matters to you, what you're hoping for, what you're afraid of.
Advance care planning support: helping you think through and document your wishes.
Presence in the lead-up: visits, calls, being a steady point of contact as things progress.
MAiD Support: emotional and practical companioning through Medical Assistance in Dying, alongside your medical team, never in place of them.
Family conversations: facilitated calls, often over Zoom, for siblings and family in different places, navigating a parent's decline together.
Presence in the final days or hours, if and when you want someone there.
After-care support for the family: help sorting through the possessions, the to-do lists, and the decisions nobody warns you about, and connecting you with the right people for legal and financial pieces.
"As my brother and I navigate my mother's dementia, Sheri facilitates conversations with us over Zoom — the three of us in different locations. Her ability to hold space allows us to connect and share with greater ease than the two of us on our own. We weren't looking for a nurse, doctor, or social worker — we needed this kind soul keen to support elderly individuals and those closest to them, on a personal level. Sheri is wise far beyond her years."
— C.G.
What I don't do
I don't provide medical care, nursing, or clinical assessment. Your care team handles that, and I work alongside them.
I don't advocate for or against any decision you're weighing, including MAiD. That decision is entirely yours, and my role is the same either way: to support you.
I don't offer legal or financial advice, though I can help you find the right people for that too.
Pricing
Walking With You: Single Visit $77
A one-hour visit to talk through what's happening, what to expect, and what matters most right now, or simply to be there with you. You can extend up to 4 hours when you book:
More Time to Talk Things Through (2 hours total)
Sit With Us Through the Hard Hours (3 hours total)

Walking With You: 4-Hour Support $
Four hours to use as you need them: planning visits, legacy work, helping the family talk about hard things, or sitting vigil in the final days.
Book your first visit, and I'll reach out to plan the rest around what's unfolding.
Not sure what you need? Coffee On Me is a good first step to talk it through.
*Money should never be the reason someone goes without companionship, grief support, or end‑of‑life care. If cost is a barrier, we’ll talk about it. There is always a way forward.
You don’t have to have the details figured out to reach out. That’s what this first conversation is for.
Coffee On Me
A free, 30-minute, no-pitch conversation, in person at the dome or a local coffee shop, by phone or over zoom, whichever feels easiest.
Meet me, ask anything, and see if this feels right. If it's not a fit, you'll leave knowing that, and that's a perfectly good outcome too.
