End of Life Doula
An end of life doula is someone who provides support from diagnosis forward. A death doula can help you to live your best possible life though illness by providing you with companionship, legacy work, vigil planning and more. Doulas are present to address emotional and spiritual needs. An end of life doula's goal is to empower you with knowledge and to help you to focus on what truly matters.
Hello! My name is Alex and I am an end of life doula in the Hamilton, Ontario area.
My mission is to provide you with education about death and dying. My hope is to support to you and your loved ones as you navigate the end of life transition.
I received my Contemplative End of Life Care certificate through the Institute of Traditional Medicine and recently graduated from Deathschool. Learning about death, dying, and bereavement is a passion I followed after feeling helpless at both of my grandmothers' bedsides as they passed. While my nursing background allowed me to understand everything that was happening medically, I felt lost as how to provide support in a way that felt like it mattered at the very end of their lives.
Providing death services is soul work. It is something I feel called to do in order to help others face death in a way that is empowering. I would be honoured to help you on your end of life journey,
It is never too early to prepare. Pre-planning before diagnosis or end of life can provide comfort to you and your family by ensuring your wishes are honoured.
Please schedule a free 30 minute introductory session to discuss the ways in which I can support you.
My services are offered at a rate of $65.00 per hour.
Advance Care Planning
Planning ahead for the medical care you wish to receive helps your family to know that they are advocating for you in the ways that you wish. This type of planning allows you to learn about procedures available, discuss your options, and to document what you want.

MAID Program
Facilitate access to the MAID program and provide support in understanding and navigating the application process.
Critical Document Organization
Guidance in gathering your important paperwork, accounts, passwords and other documentation into a file so that your people will have all of your critical information in an easy to access space.
Companioning
This is simply about spending time with someone who will listen and be fully present with whatever is on your mind. We can talk, tell stories, or sit quietly. Companioning is about providing you with the emotional support you need.
Caregiver Respite
As a primary care giver, you are aware of how large the responsibility of caring for someone can be. I am able to provide you with time for a break or other errands while your loved one is at home, in hospice, or long term care. You need never worry about your person being alone.
Legacy Project Facilitation
Many people often consider what they are leaving behind for their loved ones to remember them by - this is their legacy. Through legacy work, I can help you to create a lasting memory. It can be as elaborate or as simple as you wish. Your legacy will be as unique as you are.
Vigil Planning and Attending
Creating a vigil plan gives your family the ability to know exactly what you want this time to look and feel. Let's talk about all the possibilities.
As a doula attendant, I would be honoured to sit peacefully with you during this sacred transition.
Funeral Planning
From living funerals to traditional ceremonies, we will work together to create and plan a celebration of life that truly reflects who you are.
End of life doulas do not provide medical care or assistance.
