Yael Galinson, End of Life Doula

What is an end of life doula?

An end of life doula is a non-medical professional trained to provide emotional, practical, and spiritual support to an individual and their loved ones before, during, and after death.

End-of-life doulas can work in a variety of settings including people's homes, care homes, hospices, and hospitals. They can start working with families years, weeks, or months before someone dies and even before they are sick.
