Sarasota Area End-of-Life Doula Collective

We are a group of certified End-of-Life Doulas who seek to improve the end-of-life experience and change the conversation around death and dying by offering compassionate support and resources to all who need them in our community and beyond.


Our Mission

We are committed to providing compassionate and holistic non-medical support to dying individuals and their care partners, promoting informed choices, enhancing the quality of their care, and transforming the end-of-life experience into a reflective and meaningful journey for individuals and loved ones.

Our Values

  • Compassion - We understand that the end-of-life is a difficult time for people, and we approach our clients and loved ones with empathy and sincerity.

  • Empowerment - We encourage our clients to make choices about their care.

  • Advocacy - We actively participate in ensuring our clients' wishes are respected.

  • Professionalism - We recognize the importance of our work and conduct ourselves with honesty, integrity, and respect for the needs of others.

  • Service - We are dedicated to serving our community, our clients, and their loved ones.

  • Holistic Care - Our approach to care is multi-faceted, addressing the emotional, spiritual, logistical, and physical aspects of dying.

We are here to educate, advocate, and serve you

No two end-of-life journeys are alike. An End-of-Life Doula can tailor their support to your specific needs and wishes. We offer a range of services to help you navigate this important time. It's never too early to start planning for a peaceful and supported end-of-life experience. Learn more about how a doula can assist you today.

“In being with the dying, we arrive at a natural crucible of what it means to love and be loved. And we can ask ourselves this: knowing that death is inevitable, what is most precious today?”

— Ram Dass
