End-of-Life Doula Support for MAiD in Marin County

In California, Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD) is a legal option for terminally ill people who meet specific requirements. It is a decision that comes with complexity — emotional, logistical, spiritual, and practical.

Not every doula chooses to work in this space. I do.

How I Support MAiD Clients and Families

• Planning and Preparation: Guidance around timing, environment, and coordination with medical providers.

• Creating Sacred Space: Designing a setting that reflects the values, wishes, and spirit of the dying person.

• Presence and Companionship: Sitting at the bedside, holding steady when the moment comes, offering hand, heart, and calm.

• Support for Family and Loved Ones: Helping them understand the process, preparing them for what to expect, and holding space for their grief.

• After-Death Care: Gentle guidance around what happens next, from body care to funeral or memorial planning.

  
  

Honoring Choice, Honoring Life

MAiD is not the right choice for everyone — but for some, it brings peace, control, and dignity. If this is the path you or your loved one are considering, you do not have to walk it alone.

I am here to accompany you with compassion, respect, and presence.
