Choosing the Right End-of-Life Doula

The relationship between the dying and an End-of-Life doula is unique in its intimacy. The “right” doula can positively impact the experience of both the dying client and their family members. But how do you know if a particular doula is a good fit for your situation? Consider the following:

TRAINING

Is the doula trained in their field and do they have hands-on experience with the dying? Can the doula provide references—both personal and professional?

SCHEDULING

Does the doula work the days and times required? Are they flexible, should your needs change? Do they work as part of a revolving team or will you be dealing with the same professional each time? Does the doula have “back-up” colleagues who can fill-in if you have an emergency?

PROFESSIONALISM

Is the doula willing and able to do the specific tasks you require? What does the doula consider their greatest professional strengths? Weaknesses? Does the doula communicate clearly? Do they appear organized and professional? What does the doula charge? Do they offer a sliding scale if needed?

YOUR FEELINGS

Do you simply feel better in the presence of a particular doula?
