As an End-of-Life Doula, Advance Care Planning Trainer, professional speaker, community educator, and ambassador, Valoria creates space for conversations that are often difficult to begin. She encourages people to plan before a crisis, explore their care options, and make their wishes known while they have the opportunity to do so.

 

Her passion is deeply personal. She knows what it feels like to love someone through their final chapter. She understands the uncertainty families can experience when they are suddenly faced with difficult decisions, and she brings that lived experience into every conversation, classroom, presentation, and family she serves.

 

Valoria believes that preparing for the end of life is not about giving up on life. It is about honoring life—its relationships, its choices, its dignity, and the people we love.

​

After her mother’s passing, Valoria began reflecting on what happened and what could have been different. She realized that families deserve access to information, meaningful conversations, and compassionate support before they are faced with a crisis.

​

From that realization, Doula by Destiny was born.
