What is a Death Doula?

What is a Death Doula?

A death doula is a professional who helps individuals, families, and communities prepare for the end-of-life process. They are advocates for dying people and provide support to those who are facing terminal illness or impending death. Death doulas work with individuals to create meaningful end-of-life experiences in alignment with their values, beliefs, and wishes.

Death Doula Offerings

I have been gifted the opportunity to move beyond massage volunteer work in hospices. I wanted to publicly begin to share this offering with others.

Recommendation for Jackie Fetter, Death Doula 

“I am writing to offer a glowing recommendation for Jackie Fetter, who I have had the pleasure of knowing in my capacity as a hospice volunteer. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend her for any scholarship related to death doula services. 

Having experienced first-hand the compassionate, kind, and helpful nature of Jackie’s work, I believe she is uniquely qualified to provide an unparalleled level of care for those facing death. She has a deep understanding of the unique needs of individuals in this situation and helps create spaces where their emotions can be heard and acknowledged. Through her attentiveness and commitment to creating a safe environment for people, she truly brings forth healing and peace amidst difficult times. 

Death doulas like Jackie Fetter would provide invaluable support for those who have experienced a loss. Compassionate and understanding, she is well versed in the logistics of death but also offers emotional care in times of need. 

Jackie is an exceptionally caring presence; her own life experiences give her an unparalleled level of insight into the grieving process. Her father committed suicide, and her mother died by drowning; as a result, Jackie is compassionate toward those going through similar experiences. Whether it’s helping to plan funeral arrangements, being present during the grieving process, or simply providing a listening ear, Jackie Fetter is the perfect companion for anyone facing difficult times. 

I do not doubt that Jackie would be an irreplaceable asset in the field of death doula services. Please consider her for a scholarship, as she is an exceptional individual with invaluable experience and insight that are truly invaluable.” Anonymous long time professional contact

Mental Health and Your Body Connection

I'm grateful for the growth of my business in massage therapy and the body-mind connection, which I've continued to develop in Colorado over the past few years. From massage therapy to yoga and breathwork, I offer a range of services that foster physical and mental well-being. 

By addressing physical practices, I have seen firsthand how individuals can simultaneously heal their mental and physical states. This holistic approach is highly effective in treating health issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, insomnia, grief, etc., while providing relief from bodily aches and pains. 

The mental/physical connection is often overlooked when it comes to mental health treatment -- yet it plays an important role in our overall well-being. My services aim to provide mental health support that respects this connection and provides the healing necessary for a more balanced life. 

I would be honored to work with you if you're looking for massage services in Colorado. Together, we can make progress toward mental and physical well-being. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to learn more about my services or book an appointment. Thank you!
