As an end of life doula, Julie Derby Jaecksch can guide you, empower you, and support you in implementing your choices. Doulas provide emotional, spiritual, and physical support at an intensely personal and crucial time. They assist people in finding meaning, creating a legacy project, and planning for how the last days will unfold. Doulas also guide and support loved ones through the last days of life and ease the suffering of grief in its early stages.
Julie will talk about education, support, consultation, and the other benefits of having someone to assist you with the planning of your final days.
