Mission
To build trusted relationships that allow people to shines light on the sacredness and uniqueness of their story and journey by normalizing mortality, grief, love legacy, and end-of-life planning conversations.
Philosophy
At Sacred Moments, we believe that conversations about death help people live more intentionally.
We believe end-of-life planning is the ultimate form of self-care.
We believe mortality, grief, love legacy and end of life conversations are also whole life conversations.
When individuals and families feel supported in preparing for the end-of-life, they often experience greater peace, clearer communication with loved ones, reduced fear and uncertainty, and deeper connection and meaning in the time that remains.
Our goal is simple: To help people live fully, prepare thoughtfully, and transition peacefully.
Guiding Principle
Honoring Life
Embracing Transition
Preserving Legacy

A Death Doula, also known as an End-of-Life Doula, Soul Doula, Doula Walker, Serious Illness Companion, Death Midwife, and other names, is a trained professional who provides non-medical, holistic support to individuals facing serious or life-threatening illness and to those who love them. I often describe my role simply as a friend ’til the end.
Death doulas offer spiritual, physical, psychosocial, practical, and emotional support to individuals and their families before, during, and after death. Our role is deeply personal and heart-centered.
Although the term “death doula” is relatively new, this work is ancient. For centuries, across cultures and continents, community members, elders, and women have sat with the dying, cared for the body after death, and supported families through grief and transition. They helped guide rituals, held space for the sacred passage between life and death, and ensured that no one in the community faced death alone, in fear, or without meaning.
At Sacred Moments, we carry this tradition forward by walking alongside individuals, families, and care partners during one of life’s most profound transitions.
You do not have to walk this path alone.
We are here to walk beside you.
Why End of Life Planning?
End of life planning can save time, money, heartache and helps individuals to gain clarity, maintain personal agency, peace of mind, and the opportunity to live more fully in the present moment.
Next to birth, death is one of life’s most profound and sacred experiences.
It is not morbid to think about your end of life, it is actually one of the most sacred gifts you can give yourself and those supporting you.
Planning ahead helps to maintain voice, and agency, and empowers those who are advocates, to ensure your voice, values, and wishes are honored.
Planning ahead reduces uncertainty, for are partners during a time of need and support.
