End of Life Doula Services in St. Albert & Area

The following are examples of how my non-medical and non-clinical End of Life Doula services prepare and support the terminally ill, the dying and their loved ones through the end of life transition and death in their home, at the hospital, hospice, or care facility according to their wishes.

END OF LIFE DOULA - Hourly Fee

60 CAD

NOTE: Video and phone support is also available.  This works well for those who do not have access to an End of Life Doula in their community or prefer to have virtual sessions.

END OF LIFE CARE PLAN

Discuss the importance of having a prepared and known plan in place to detail how a person would like their last months, days and hours to be lived.  For example: With medical approval they want their dying process to be treated as naturally as possible; preferring not to be hooked up to a noisy oxygen machine or intravenous line surrounded by those they love, including their beloved pet.

END OF LIFE DOCUMENTS

Discuss the importance of proactively documenting your wishes legally to ensure your instructions are followed by medical staff, loved ones, executor and funeral director.

CAREGIVER RESPITE SUPPORT

For the times when the primary caregiver would like me to companion and support their loved one, so they can take some well deserved time for themselves.

ENVIRONMENT

Help create‎ a positive and relaxing environment for the person facing death according to their likes and wishes.

DEATH VIGIL

Min - Max

This is the time when the medical team determines a person has moved into the active dying phase. Death may occur within hours, days or weeks.


As your End of Life Doula, I am your dedicated, nurturing presence, guiding you through the dying process, focused solely on your family's needs.  I bridge the gaps of time offering reassurance when the medical team must shift their focus to others in their care.

POST DEATH DOULA SUPPORT

When a person dies, there are pressing actions to initiate.  This can be overwhelming for those left to mourn.  As your Doula I can provide this practical support as well as ongoing emotional support to the family in the immediate hours that follow and in the days ahead.

Preparing For Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) -Hourly Fee

60 CAD

This is non-medical practical and emotional Doula support for the individual and their family as they prepare for the day when the MAiD team administers this medical procedure.

Non-Medical Doula Support On The Day Of MAiD

Min - Max

On the day of the MAiD procedure, as your End of Life Doula I will reassure, nurture and support you and your family throughout the entire day.  I remain long after the medical team's support comes to an end and your family says they are ready for the funeral home's to begin. 

DOULA SUPPORT FOR THOSE WHO MOURN - Hourly Fee

40 CAD

Death leaves the grieving person with pain in their heart and an emptiness in their life. They're not sure who they are now and how they will ever be able to live without the person they love.


As we know, life goes on and with time so does the grieving person's support network, often leaving them feeling isolated and alone.  This is when I can be engaged to journey alongside them offering practical and emotional non-clinical Doula support.

EMERGENCY SUPPORT

Min - Max

This is for clients who are unable to get to a loved one who is actively dying in an emergency situation due to geographical distance.  

DOULA CONSULT - 1 Hour

60 CAD

This works well for clients who prefer impromptu Doula support from Courageous Goodbyes® or need a consult or two to move forward in confidence on their own.

PEER TO PEER CONSULT - 30 Minutes

30 CAD

This is for emerging Doulas seeking insight from Courageous Goodbyes® experience.

REIKI SESSION - 90 Minutes

80 CAD

Enjoy a sense of well being, relaxation and peace of mind.

GIFT CERTIFICATES

Would you like to offer the gift of support to a co-worker, friend or family member who is going through a challenging time or would enjoy a Reiki session?  I'd be honored to be of support and service through your gift to them.
