FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a death doula?
A death doula is a trained professional who provides holistic support and guidance to individuals and their families during the dying process. Similar to birth doulas, who assist with childbirth, death doulas offer emotional, practical, and spiritual care, ensuring that the individual's final journey is as comfortable and dignified as possible. They provide various services, including end-of-life planning, emotional support, and assistance with legacy work, fostering a compassionate and peaceful transition for both the individual and their loved ones.
WHAT IS A NON-DENOMINATIONAL MINISTER?
A non-denominational minister is an ordained religious leader who conducts spiritual ceremonies and provides pastoral services without affiliation to any specific religious denomination or organization. This approach allows the minister to offer their services to individuals of various faiths or those who identify as spiritual but not religious. Non-denominational ministers often perform weddings, funerals, and other religious or spiritual ceremonies, focusing on universal spiritual principles and emphasizing inclusivity and respect for diverse beliefs and backgrounds. They typically tailor their services to meet the unique needs and preferences of their clients, offering a personalized and inclusive approach to spiritual guidance and support.
HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?
I assess each case individually, and while I have a menu of services with base fees, we will discuss these during our consultation. This allows us to tailor a personalized care plan to meet your specific needs, with the cost reflecting the extent of the services required. Additionally, I provide sliding scales for those in need of financial assistance, ensuring accessibility to all individuals seeking support during challenging times
May I include family members in my counseling?
Yes, you may include family members in your counseling sessions, provided they have consented and are in agreement with my approaches. Please be aware that my fees will adjust accordingly with the addition of each family member in each session. It's important to note that I require a phone consultation for each person you wish to include in your session a week prior to the scheduled session. This ensures that I can better understand their needs and tailor the session to accommodate everyone involved.
