What is an end-of-life doula?

As end-of-life doulas, we offer holistic, non-medical care for the living, the dying, and their circles of support. Our role is to guide individuals through the emotional, spiritual, and practical experiences related to death, ensuring that each day is as meaningful as possible.

We help individuals and families navigate complex decisions, advocate for wishes, and ensure the environment is peaceful and soothing. By fostering open communication and offering compassionate presence, we empower individuals to live fully and peacefully as they approach the end of their journey, while supporting their loved ones through this transformative experience.

Our Offerings
Intentional Living and Contemplative Planning
Acknowledging that death can come at any time, we focus consistently on personal growth, becoming more attuned to the present moment and the thoughts that arise within it. We offer guided practices that reflect your core values and beliefs, supporting you in facing fears. Using these insights, we will create end-of-life plans that reflect your wishes, providing peace of mind for both you and your loved ones.

End of Life
Amaya is a steady and compassionate presence during the sacred moments of death - anticipated or sudden. Whether providing solace in moments of fear, helping individuals find peace with their past, or simply holding space for quiet reflection, we empower individuals to approach the process of dying with grace and dignity. With a focus on honoring each person’s unique journey, we collaborate with families and medical professionals to ensure that the wishes and needs of the individual are met with the utmost respect and sensitivity.

After loss, Amaya stands as a pillar of compassion and support for grieving families. We understand that the process of grief is deeply personal, and we provide tailored support to each family. Amaya doulas provide solace not only through emotional support but also by assisting families with practical needs, ensuring they have the space to grieve without the weight of overwhelming tasks. We offer comfort and reassurance toward healing while honoring the love and legacy of those passed.

FAQ
What if I’m not sure what I need?

That’s okay. Many people come to us unsure where to begin. Amaya Doulas gently guides you through your options and provides a deeper sense of peace during uncertain times.

Is a Death Doula the same as an End-of-Life Doula?

Yes. “Death Doula,” “End-of-Life Doula,” and “Death Midwife” are all terms for those who offer emotional, spiritual, and practical support at life’s end.

Do I need to be terminally ill to work with a Doula?

Not at all. Many individuals seek our support to prepare for aging, explore spiritual questions, plan for end-of-life, or simply live more intentionally.

How do Doulas support families and caregivers?

We help families navigate difficult decisions, create space for meaningful conversations, and offer respite so caregivers can also rest and be cared for.
