Your Funeral Director

What is an End of Life Doula?

Think of Nicky as an end of life consultant or end of life support person. Her role includes being ‘present’ to actively listen and hold conversations about life, dying and death. Dying isn’t a medical event. It is a human one.

End-of-life doulas provide companionship, comfort, and guidance to those facing a terminal illness or death. Nicky’s non-medical holistic support encompasses emotional, spiritual, and practical care. She can offer resources to help the dying person, along with their family and loved ones, make informed decisions in a supportive environment.

Doulas normalise deathcare by creating spaces to hold conversations leading to increased communication and increased spiritual and emotional well being. When individuals plan for death, they have autonomy over their decisions and are able to clearly define their end-of-life wishes with family and loved ones.

While there are alternative names for end-of-life doulas like death doula, death midwife, death coach, end-of-life coach - we all seek to provide compassionate deathcare when dealing with death.

"Dying isn't something that happens to you, it is something you do,

and it is arduous."
