Services
Tender, practical care — shaped to your family.
Every death is its own. These are the ways I most often serve families on the Olympic Peninsula. We can begin with whatever feels most needed today.
Bedside Vigils
Continuous, calm presence in the final hours and days — so loved ones can rest, eat, and be present rather than on duty.
Advance Care Planning
Clarifying wishes, completing advance directives, and making sure your voice is heard before a crisis arrives.
Family Support & Education
Helping families understand what they are seeing, what to expect, and how to care for themselves through the journey.
Hospital-to-Hospice Bridging
Translating between systems, advocating in meetings, and easing the transition home or to hospice care.
Legacy & Life Review
Recording stories, writing letters, and creating meaningful keepsakes that outlast the moment.
After-Death Care Guidance
Honoring the body, supporting rituals, and walking with the family through the first days of grief.
Investment
Simple, transparent pricing.
Care is offered at a base rate of $50 per hour. The plans below are gentle starting points — every family's needs are different, and hours can be adjusted as we go.
Money should never stand between a person and a tender death.
Dying is not a luxury experience — it is something every one of us will move through, and no one should face it alone. The rates below help me keep this work sustainable, but they are a starting place. If cost is a worry, please still reach out. We will find a way that honors both your family and the work.

Sliding Scale
If $50/hour isn't workable right now, please ask. Reduced rates from $20–$45 per hour are available based on what your household can comfortably offer. No paperwork, no proof needed — just an honest conversation.
Pro Bono Care
A portion of my hours each month are reserved for families in financial hardship, unhoused neighbors, and those without other support. Cost should never be the reason someone dies without companionship.
A first conversation is always free. Travel beyond Sequim may be added at cost.
Not sure where to begin?
Most families I meet have never worked with a doula before. A first conversation is free, gentle, and at your pace — by phone, video, or in person in Sequim.
