Serious Illness Support
Compassionate guidance and presence during life’s most uncertain chapters
A serious illness can change everything - your daily rhythms, your relationships, and your sense of what the future might hold. Whether you’re the one in treatment or walking alongside someone you love, this season often brings waves of uncertainty, grief, and emotional fatigue.
​
As a doula, my role is to offer grounded, consistent support - someone to help you navigate the emotional, spiritual, and practical terrain that illness can bring. Together, we’ll make space for what matters most, restore a sense of agency, and create pathways of connection and comfort.

My guidance for you:
Emotional Support​​​
Living with serious illness is rarely a straight path. I hold space for the full range of your emotions - fear, overwhelm, hope, grief - without judgment. Through deep listening and gentle presence, I help you process what’s unfolding and find steadiness in the midst of change.
​
Personalized, Values-Aligned Care
No two experiences of illness are the same. I meet you exactly where you are - emotionally, spiritually, and practically - and adapt my care based on your values, needs, and energy. This may include:
-
Guidance with advance care planning
-
Support for meaningful communication with loved ones or your medical team
-
Gentle rituals or practices that bring calm and connection
​
Steady, Compassionate Continuity
In a healthcare system that can feel fragmented, I offer consistency. I’m not part of a rotating staff - I’m someone who walks beside you with warmth and reliability, whether in a single session or over many months. I am a trusted presence you can lean on through all the ups, downs, and tender moments.
