Serving North Country residents as they transition through their sunsets.

What is an End-of-Life Doula?

End-of-life doulas are non-medical professionals qualified to care for a terminally ill person's physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, including their support systems.

They also provide opportunities to complete and celebrate life while honoring the dying process.

Transitioning does not need to be done alone, without support or dignity.

I’m Jocelyn Nute Curell:

Your guide and support through
end-of-life transitions.

It is my great pleasure and honor to serve you in this role.

Your dignity, safety, and satisfaction are most important while on this route to the state of peace. The goal for this complementary approach is to see the lightness within the darkness of dying based on client-centered, end-of-life conversations, planning, and hands-on care. A right of passage, death with dignity is possible.
