Meet Dianne

Death Doula, End-of-Life Planner and Community Educator

As a Death Doula and End-of-Life Planner, I help people achieve peace of mind by planning ahead for comfort, dignity and legacy.

As a compassionate complementary non-medical end-of-life caregiver, I also offer emotional, spiritual, and logistical support alongside medical care teams, like hospice.

I believe that we all have a right to a peaceful life and a dignified death. I am a “Death Worker” who supports individuals and families with end-of life companionship, as well as logistical support to navigate the transition process. 

​​​

As a widow, I am acutely and personally aware of the inevitable and how this passage can be experienced in love and dignity. I am a practitioner of transition planning and preparation, clearing “unfinished business,” end-of-life companionship and care, and having a conscious death.
