With Dignity Death Doula

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at withdignity.deathdoula@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is a Death Doula?

Death Doulas offer non-medical end-of-life care and support for people, pets and their families or caregivers.

Do I need to be dying to work with a Death Doula?

No - anyone at any time can work with a Death Doula.

Although we do work with those who are at the end of their life or have a terminal diagnosis, we can also help you make decisions for end-of-life care at any stage of your life. We can also help you create personal directives, and even support you while you work through a recent death of a loved person or pet.

What kind of "Doula" are you?

I like to focus my care as a Legacy Doula (storytelling and creating a lasting memory for family), an 11th Hour Doula (active care and service during the time of death/ transition, and support for family during this time), and as a Post Mortem Doula (care for the person or pet after their transition, and support for family)

What services can you offer me or my family?

All service information can be found HERE, or you are welcome to send me an email at your convenience to discuss the care you wish for.

Do you offer payment plans or a sliding scale?

Absolutely. With dignity Death Doula Services believes everyone deserves the same level of care no matter the financial or social circumstance you may be facing. I offer flexible payment options, plans and agreements that we can discuss in our first meeting or consultation.

I am a certified Death Doula and have offered my services to the commmunity since 2021.

I offer more practical services and care for those who need it, but I do provide emotional or spiritual care upon request.

Education and Experience

I received Death Doula Certification in January 2021. I am currently a student completing a Funeral Service Diploma, as well as a Dementia Care Certificate at Mount Royal University. I completed a Vigil Planning Certificate in November 2021, and an End of Life Animal/Pet Death Care Certificate in March 2022. Other plans include completing certification in Reiki and Advanced Dementia Care, and Funeral Celebrant to further my knowledge to serve the community.

What makes us different?

"With Dignity Doula" is a unique two member team.

This is Oliver, a Newfypoo. He is my lovable guy who is here for visits as an animal companion to clients (only with an invitation, of course).

Whether you are at the end of your life or not, we are both around to help you work through your own death or death of your person or pet.

Animal companions really can help you when you need it most.

I can provide proof of a clear

No discrimination, all are welcome.

"With Dignity Death Doula Services is a non-denominational, egalitarian organization because I believe everyone deserves dignity in life and in death"
