How we help

What is an End of Life Doula?

An end of life doula is a compassionate non-medical professional that offers essential support to individuals and families during various stages of life, including those who are facing life-limiting, terminal or ageing illnesses, and dealing with complex care needs. Our specialised services extend to navigating the complexities of non-medical palliative support services, as well as providing guidance during the end of life, after death, and bereavement processes.

At JDOULAZ, we specialise in end of life care by providing valuable insights into the current options and choices available. At JDOULAZ we can assist with helping to create an end of life plan that aligns with your values, wishes and preferences. 

Whether you’re in need of end of life care, celebrant services for your memorial or celebration of life, non-medical palliative support services, or want to discuss your choices for cardboard coffins, wicker caskets or another option entirely, JDOULAZ is here for you.
