Testimonials

"The circling of thoughts and emotions that drift through my days often come back to appreciating how important you both were in enabling my wishes to have my Mum at home.

It meant more than I can say. The ability to walk into the room where she lay and apply moisturiser to her face, arms and those beautiful, aged hands that had spread so much love, was humbling.

Your work is precious. I sincerely hope that you can both encourage other families to let goof their fears and share in the gentle passing of their loved one."

"From the minute we met Jancine, we knew we were in calm, tender hands. Her compassionate approach and wealth of knowledge meant we were able to spend the precious last moments with Dad feeling supported and held. She knew who to call and what to do, gently offering guidance, and no request was too large, or outlandish.

Having Jancine at my side as we prepared Dad for cremation was the balm I didn't know I needed. She and Janelle maneuvered tricky family dynamics in their roles as celebrant and photographer at the celebration of Dad's life to ensure the day ran smoothly and respectfully. I can't recommend her highly enough."

"Just wanted to express our gratitude to you for your guidance and support during such an emotionally difficult time for our family.

Using an end of life doula would not have been something we'd have thought of as necessary, however, it made the process of farewelling our beloved Gran into something that was beautifully healing for us all. Thank you again."

"I am so grateful for all the wisdom JDOULAZ has shared with me and my family. My mum was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer late last year and it has been quite a journey having to navigate our way through the medical system while also incorporating my mums wish to die at home. I feel without the knowledge of ‘choice’ we wouldn’t have been able to make this happen.

If I hadn’t engaged in JDOULAZ we would have struggled to know what steps to take and what we needed to have in place to prepare ourselves for mums care. I am eternally grateful and have realised that the work of End of Life Doulas is so important in our western world. This beautiful holistic approach to death has allowed my mum to have her last days at home filled with love, compassion and dignity, the way it should be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
