Meet Lori

Elder Care and End-of-Life Doula

I'm an end-of-life doula. My inspiration for end-of-life care was inspired by my experiences with loved ones and being at my parent's bedside when they transitioned. I feel drawn to accompany others through their end-of-life journey. My experiences have given me a unique perspective on death and the importance of discussing it. As a hospice volunteer, I find meaning in offering grace and compassion to those navigating the dying process. I have discovered a deep sense of purpose and recognized being an end-of-life doula is my true path.​
