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.

Marisa Rose Verrier
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.
