Vanessa Johnston
End-of-Life Doula, Co-Founder and Second Vice-President, Membership
My mission is to empower those who are dying to experience their final milestone with dignity and grace. I seek to provide support for people with terminal diagnoses and their loved ones. I am a compassionate companion in sacred service to honor the final chapter in others’ stories.

Companion-Animal End-of-Life Doula, CEOLC Treasurer and Co-Founder
Pets are irreplaceable members of our family, and as such, their death can hurt very deeply. As a Companion-Animal End-of-Life Doula, I provide compassionate, in-home care and hospice support for senior pets, as well as those with chronic or terminal illness, and holistic and spiritual support for their human family. My passion is being of service to others. Being present with a family and their dying pet is a benevolent and humbling experience. It is my honor to hold space for animals as they journey towards the rainbow bridge.

Sara Aumann is an INELDA End of Life Doula, intuitive energy healer and podcaster here to help you usher in real, transformed healing.
Her personal story is one of loss and resilience; in 2016, she experienced multiple losses so great it would have brought anyone to their knees, but through consistent inner work, she was able to alchemize loss into evolution. Her passion is to support people in their 20 – 30’s and their families through loss and grief.
Cindy Kaufman
End-of-Life Doula, CEOLC President and Co-Founder
My mission is to be a compassionate companion on life’s final journey. With a calm and loving presence, I advocate for the dying person and his/her personal choices about End-of-Life decisions and care, as well as providing much-needed support for the loved ones. I hope to inspire others to see death as a natural transition with its own innate gifts and beauty, rather than something to be feared and avoided.

It is simple… what do you do to live YOUR best life? Regardless of any condition or diagnoses, are you living the fullness of your true authentic self? It is a remarkably interesting dichotomy to be happy and/or content, until the very last breath.

As a non-medical professional trained to care for terminally ill persons, I tend to their physical, emotional and yes, spiritual needs during the transition process. I can also assist them with health care proxy as well as legacy projects for those left behind.
