Services

Peer Counseling

As a trained doula, I provide emotional, logistical, and spiritual support for people with life-limiting and terminal conditions. My client, their care team, and I work together so everyone better understands the end-of-life process, how to reduce fears, and how to support through this sacred time. 

I hear from so many people who feel isolated and alone. They tell me how too many caregivers are unreliable and spend all their time on their phones. You deserve better. 

My companion and peer counseling services includes:

  • Managing emotions
  • Guided meditation
  • Breathwork
  • Non-medical ways to achieve a more peaceful death. 
  • Gender-affirming/patient-centered advocacy
  • Making your space comfortable
  • Care coordination
  • Creating advance care directives
  • Mediating tender talks with loved ones
  • Getting personal, spiritual, and emotional affairs in order
  • Sitting vigil
  • Trip-sitting or psychedelic support

Writing

I have over 20 years of experience as a newspaper columnist. Hire me to write your ethical wills, life stories, legacy letters, recipe books, and more. I also write obituaries, eulogies, and more according to the client’s wishes. Please click here for the obituary, eulogy, and post samples

Funeral Celebrant

I’m trained and experienced in leading living funeralstraditional funerals, home funerals, or memorial services for a Jewish, Buddhist, or any faith background. Additionally, Anitya Doula Services is an educational consulting organization and is in no way considered a funeral establishment.
