Throughout her life, Liz has been deeply fascinated by the thresholds of life and death—mysteries that shape every human journey yet often remain unspoken. As a death doula, she offers compassionate presence and support for individuals and families navigating end-of-life transitions. Her work honors death as a sacred passage: a time for meaning, closure, and connection. Whether sitting bedside, providing resources, planning vigils and legacy projects, or holding space for grief, Liz walks alongside clients, helping them meet the moment with dignity and love.
Liz has received training from INELDA, the International End of Life Association.
INELDA defines an end-of-life doula as a nonmedical companion who provides personalized and compassionate support to individuals, families, and their circles of care as they encounter and navigate death, loss, and mortality. An end-of-life doula advocates self-determination and imparts psychosocial, emotional, spiritual, and practical care to empower dignity throughout the dying process.
INELDA doulas offer holistic support to the dying person and their circle of care through presence, full-self listening, respect of autonomy, and awareness of the dying process. Doulas may offer resources and education, when asked, to help individuals and their care circles make informed decisions around end of life. End-of-life doulas aim to reduce health care inequity through more access to information, support in navigating complex decisions, and increased encounters with the dying. The positive impacts of having end-of-life doula support can reduce direct care provider burnout, lower emergency room visits and aggressive treatments, and increase death literacy and quality of life at the end of life.
