Are you looking for a death doula or transitional doula in Chicago?
anitya [uh-nit-yuh] Sanskrit, अनित्य : (n) impermanence
I support clients in transition, and their loved ones, in Chicago through advocacy, peer counseling, celebrant services, assisting with advance directives, psychedelic integration, sitting vigil, hosting community workshops, training care teams, and so much more.
What does a doula do?
Read about my important work in The Chicago Tribune.
Death doulas offer non-medical, compassionate care for those facing the end of life, partnering with support provided by other sources like hospice, comfort care, and each client’s own network.
Transitional doulas do the same for people with life-limiting conditions.
We understand common conditions and terminal diseases. This includes pain management practices. Also, we understand the dying process and helpful ways to ease spiritual and emotional suffering. Above all, we provide unconditional positive regard and no judgments.
The transitional, death, or end-of-life doula services I provide in Chicago:
- Emotional and spiritual support
- Guided meditation
