Death Doulas
Death Doulas (also known as end of life doulas, death walkers, soul midwives) specialise in non-medical end-of-life care, offering both practical assistance and emotional support for dying individuals and their loved ones.
I work alongside Central Victoria’s network of professional Death Doulas, who provide flexible care options through hourly or package arrangements.
Specialised services can include:
• Guidance through the Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) process.
• Pre-death planning and post-VAD enactment care.
• Support during the active dying phase.
• Vigil planning and gentle body care (washing/dressing).
