Death Doula of the Berkshires

Stepping across thresholds with open minds & HEARTS

Welcome! I'm Rebecca.

I work as a Death Doula and Grief Guide, offering end-of-life planning and care.

I support individuals from retirement to end-of-life — maneuvering more confidently through times of transition. I hold space and create an atmosphere of compassion and empowerment in which people feel more equipped to work through whatever lies ahead with clarity and courage.

I will help you think about what brings you joy, makes you feel alive as well as what provisions you want to put into place as part of your end-of-life care.

My services are customized to meet your needs and range from end-of-life planning, to bedside vigil, to grief support. Read more about my services below.

Let's review what that looks like for you!

How to get started?

WORKING TOGETHER:

Whether you’re interested in learning more about death doulas or working with me directly, you’ll have a chance to meet with me one-on-one first to review your needs.

We can communicate through email, text, phone or video calls. I am always available to assist you with any questions and help you with your plans. After understanding your situation, we can evaluate the best way for me to support you or whether a referral to another professional would be more suitable.

Once you’ve decided to move forward with me, I will become a member of your care team. The length and frequency of my visits is worked out between you and I to start, and will evolve over time. The type of service and fee will depend on your support needs and length of service, all of which is offered on a sliding scale.
