Doula by Destiny dedicates our services to those who desire premier one-on-one companion care. Advance Care and End-of-Life Planning is too personal to the heart and often painful for family members experiencing the stress of medical crises or unexpected diagnoses. Instead, we facilitate softer conversations to meet the patient, family, and medical team's care goals. The team provides comfort, support, and dignity, typically when one's life expectancy is six months or less.

 

While End-of-Life Doulas are defined in many ways, we prefer to be consistent with the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization's definition. 

​

We focus on meeting your needs when experiencing fear, anxiety, confusion, separation, and loneliness. When health is beginning to decline, specific care and understanding are required. As resource coordinators, we provide support and resources to patients and caregivers. We take the time to sit and listen, even when words are not spoken. 

​

We promote self-expression, which acknowledges our clients' concerns. Self-expression clears a space for honest, safe, and sensitive conversations. This space allows clients to remain autonomous in making choices, which lifts others' burden of decisions.

 

Our services range from Advance Care Planning to End-of-Life Planning to help navigate and explore ALL options available during each phase. Creating a peaceful environment to honor your loved ones with the dignity they deserve is at the heart of our mission. No one understands a person's emotions whose life is ending. All we can do is be there; sometimes, that's all that's needed.
