Death Doula Services
We are entering a time when the aging population and end-of-life numbers are rising, patients desire to die comfortably at home, and families are experiencing new roles as caregivers to the dying.
End-of-life planning can help ease fears associated with death. End-of-life planning is not just for seniors; it's for everyone. Ease your concerns about dying by being prepared logistically, emotionally, energetically, mentally, and spiritually.
As a death doula I help aids loved ones with care for the dying for all sentient beings. With the help from a trained death doula, the end-of-life process is a bit more easeful, after death planning may feel lighter, and the family and friends can focus on healing together.
Erin is trained in self-awareness, trauma, and is a certified death doula who leads Death Doula & Self-Awareness certification programs yearly.
She has a passion for working with senior centers, dementia care clinics, and those navigating grief and chronic illness. Offering end-of-life services since 2017.
For the client experiencing death, Erin offers companionship, connection, and clarity for the end-of-life journey. Whether at home, hospice, or a medical care facility, Erin helps clients articulate, plan and document their end-of-life needs.
Professionalism, confidentiality, and the highest ethical standards are of utmost importance to Erin Doty as doula practitioner.
Every client's services are customized to their individual needs providing physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual support to the patient, family, loved ones, friends, and their support communities.
As an end-of-life doula, Erin does not impose her own personal values or beliefs on patients and families. She specifically supports the client and loved ones with understanding the natural process of death (before, during, and after) while providing suggestions for comfort and ease. As well, Erin advocates for client’s autonomous choices.
For the family, friends, and support communities, Erin provides a conduit of connection, clarity, and peace during the spectrum of the death journey. Within a sacred space, she facilitates and encourages clear, nonviolent communication with family, caregivers, and any professionals caring for the client.
