As a death doula, I provide holistic, nonmedical care, emotional and logistical support, and other guidance for those at the end of life and their loved ones. Meeting life’s greatest inevitability with non-judgment and a compassionate presence, I invite clients into an honest relationship with our mortality, knowing that all life has death to thank for it.

    Develop a vigil plan and provide calm, continuous bedside support during the final stages of the dying process, ensuring wishes and preferences are honored.

Monetary and Energetic Exchanges

After an initial free 30-minute discovery call to determine if we are a good fit for each other, we will have a 90-minute consultation call to design a custom care package based on your needs. All death care services and travel time are billed on an hourly basis at a sliding scale rate of $150-$300. 5 or 12 hour packages are also available for booking.

Capitalism fails all of us.

With the understanding that capitalism is not meant to support our collective wellbeing, I do not believe finances should be a barrier to care. In addition to the above sliding scale prices, I am open to energy exchanges beyond money. Please reach out to connect@devyne.love to inquire.
