Death Doula Collective

Death Doula Collective Guiding and supporting the end-of-life needs of individuals and their families. Death Doulas are sacred passage guides for the end of life. Atul Gawande

Our purpose is to support the spiritual, emotional, mental, physical and practical needs of individuals (and their family and caregivers) who are in the dying stages of their life. For our community, we serve to initiate, change, and promote the consciousness and conversations around death and dying.
