Meet Valoria
Valoria Walker founded Aging Adult Services LLC. Dba Doula by Destiny to increase awareness of end-of-life care options. We diminish the gaps in care while enriching the quality of care at the end of life. We don't see it as a job but as a meaningful purpose.
As the respite caregiver, Valoria witnessed the gaps in care and communication during her mother’s final months of living. Valoria’s family thought they were prepared, but the hospice caregiving to her mother led to a negative experience. Valoria often reflected on the circumstances that occurred while her mother was under hospice care and is determined to help individuals and families have a positive end-of-life care experience. Valoria believes her mother’s death birth Doula by Destiny into life.
She is an End-of-Life Doula, Advance Care Planning Trainer, professional speaker, community educator, and ambassador whose passion is quickly experienced when she speaks about the importance of planning for a quality of life at the end-of-life. She educates families on the significance of advance care and end-of-life planning to achieve comfort and peace at the end-of-life.
