Care Circle Planning
Your support system, thoughtfully designed.
Through a series of personalized sessions, I’ll guide you in building your Care Circle - a trusted group of people who can support you through illness, recovery, life transitions, or end-of-life planning. Together, we’ll identify your needs, clarify roles, and create a plan for how your community can show up meaningfully and sustainably. Whether planning ahead or navigating a current challenge, Care Circle Planning ensures you’re not doing it alone.
Legacy Projects
Custom keepsakes that honor your life and values.
Legacy Projects begin with a personalized consultation to uncover what feels most meaningful to you. Together, we'll explore creative ways to share your story - whether through letters, videos, artwork, audio messages, recipes, memory books, or something unique. These one-of-a-kind projects are designed to reflect your identity, preserve your voice, and offer something lasting for the people you love.
Celebrations
Meaningful moments, created with intention.
Rituals and events are most powerful when they feel real, not rehearsed. I work with individuals, families, and communities to co-create celebrations that honor identity, legacy, and connection. Whether you're planning a living memorial, end-of-life celebration, intimate farewell, or personal ritual, we'll shape an authentic experience - not bound by tradition but grounded in truth. No forced speeches. No empty gestures. Just real moments, held with care.

One-on-one guidance to craft your Care Circle—and your plan—with clarity, care, and your own personal flair.
Sometimes, planning for life's big moments calls for a more personal touch. Our Individual Care Circle Planning sessions are private, one-on-one conversations where we work together to map out your wishes, document your plans, and identify the unique people in your life who can stand by you when it matters most.
This is your space to explore your options, name your priorities, and plan for the unexpected at your pace, in your voice. Whether you want to talk through green burial choices, brainstorm how to bring your quirks and values into your plans, or just figure out who should have what information and when, I'm here to guide you with grounded presence, empathy, and a little bit of humor.
We'll take your trusted people—each with their own circle of support—and build a connected, confident Care Circle around you, ready to coordinate and act when you need them. You'll leave with clear documentation, a communication plan, and peace of mind knowing you've set your people up to honor you, fully and authentically.

What makes Until Death Doulas different?
At Until Death Doulas, I approach end-of-life planning as a lifelong process, not just something to consider in the final chapter. My work begins early—with support for routine surgeries or illnesses—and evolves alongside you, offering continuity of care and a trusted presence throughout life's transitions.
Instead of focusing solely on the final days, I emphasize Legacy Planning and Care Circle creation to help you build intentional community and support networks that can walk with you long before and after death. Conversations and planning help reduce isolation, clarify wishes, and foster peace of mind for everyone involved.
I also co-create end-of-life celebrations that reflect your values, identity, and legacy. Whether your celebration is a quiet gathering or an extravagant send-off, each ceremony is as unique as the individual it honors.
With a deep respect for autonomy, compassion, and inclusivity, I offer grounded, heart-led support for adults aged 18 and up—because every life deserves to be witnessed, and every death can be meaningful.
Values
Heart First
Humor and celebration have a sacred place, even (and especially) at the end of life.
I create space for the quirks and surprises that made you. I'm not afraid to break the mold. If you want a dance party, karaoke, or a glittery urn—I'll help make it happen.
Circle of Life
Death is part of life’s natural cycle.
I advocate for eco-friendly options that honor the earth as we honor each life. I help you find solutions to honor your wishes and reflect that philosophy, from green burials to biodegradable keepsakes.
Celebrate the Weird, the Wild, the Wonderful
Authenticity means leading with empathy, not just professionalism.
I hold space for honest conversations, whether about fear, joy, regrets or what comes next. You are welcome exactly as you are, no masks required.
Demystify, Not Dramatize
Replace silence and stigma with facts, options, and clarity.
Death doesn't need to be scary, it needs to be seen. I blend compassionate presence with real, usable knowledge—bridging the emotional with the logistical.
Equity in End-of-Life Access
Compassionate, informed death support should be accessible to everyone. Because dignity is universal, and grief knows no bounds.
I provide affirming, respectful care for all identities, bodies, families, and belief systems because everyone deserves to be seen in life and death.
