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.
I know the pendulum of gratitude and anger that becomes the friend you walk through life with. The bittersweet arc of anticipatory loss, where love and fear share the same address.
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 arc looks different, so this is built around yours rather than a fixed script. Broadly, 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
Support for families navigating Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD): emotional and practical companioning through that process, alongside your medical team, never in place of them
Facilitated conversations for family caregivers, often over Zoom, for siblings or family spread across different locations, 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 in the days that follow: the estate, the possessions, the bills, the decisions nobody warns you you'll have to make while you're still grieving
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
$77 / hour
One-off planning. Quick support or filling in gaps.
Packages from $600
Built around your actual situation: how much planning support, presence, and aftercare you need.
Doula support is highly individual by nature, so pricing is discussed directly rather than fixed on a rate card. Coffee On Me is a good first step to talk through what your situation actually needs.
*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.
"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."
