I follow my life's passion of being a Dementia and End of Life Doula
It is an honour to serve and be present for and with families. Whether I am with your loved one in a private home, assisted living, or hospital setting I will provide them and your family with compassionate and nonjudgmental care and professional companionship. The support and care that I offer includes:
- End of Life Doula - as a provider I will adhere to the End of Life Doula Association of Canada - Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice
- Certified Dementia Care; as a provider I will adhere to the CDCP Code of Ethics
- Companionship to your loved one, enabling you to have peace of mind that they are not alone
- Assisting families during the "end of life" transition by being present for them during the dying process. I will be there to hold their hand and companion them, talk with them, play music, or just listen as they let their dying journey unfold as it is meant to be. And when the time comes, sitting vigil with families and their loved one
I connect with and bring careful attention to the inner well-being of loved ones, family, friends at this delicate, emotional time. I will walk down this path and help you and your family gently through and beyond this experience by being your advocate and your shoulder to lean on.
Dementia Doula
- If you are a caregiver of a loved one suffering from dementia, as a Certified Dementia Care Provider I have a broad understanding of how your loved one needs to be cared for. I also understand that you need time for yourself. I can support you and your loved one by spending time with them while you take that time to look after yourself and your life.
