This informative and gently empowering seminar introduces seniors and their families to the growing role of end-of-life doulas (sometimes called death doulas) and how they support individuals and loved ones during one of life’s most important transitions.


End-of-life doulas provide non-medical emotional, practical, and spiritual support before, during, and after death. They work alongside families, caregivers, and hospice teams to help create a more peaceful, conscious, and meaningful end-of-life experience. Their role is to listen, guide, educate, and advocate—ensuring that a person’s wishes are honored, and their loved ones feel supported every step of the way.

In this seminar, you will learn:
• What an end-of-life doula does and how their role differs from medical or hospice care
• How doulas help with planning, decision-making, and difficult conversations
• How they support physical, emotional, spiritual, and cultural needs
• How doulas assist families before death, at the bedside, and after a loved one passes
• How having a plan in place can reduce fear, stress, and family conflict


This compassionate, thoughtful presentation offers a safe space to explore an often-avoided topic with clarity, dignity, and heart—so that when the time comes, you and your loved ones feel more prepared, supported, and at peace.
