Hi, I'm Kim. I'm a trained death doula, and I've been a Licensed Veterinary Technician since 2008. My whole life has been about caring for humans and animals, in sickness and at the very end. This work found me through my own years as a sick kid in and out of hospitals, and I never want anyone to feel like a chart with a diagnosis on it the way I once did. When I am in the room, there is no rush. Some days someone may want company, some days they may want to be alone with their own fear and their own peace, and both of those are fine by me. Sometimes the most useful thing I do is just staying close enough that you don't have to hold it by yourself.

Hello, my name is Jean and I have been an acute care physical therapist for 21 years. I am also wound care certified, and have my lymphedema certification. Becoming a doula was something that found me. I spent many years working with patients in an oncology setting and have physically and metaphotically walked patients and their families through the unknown. I advocate for honest conversations in healthcare. When a friend mentioned the doula role to me, I was drawn to learn more, as it seemed to be something I was informally doing my whole career.
