hi - there
Hi, my name is Linda Heil, companion doula/end of life doula. As a Companion Doula, I offer one-on-one Non-Medical practical support to my client’s and their loved ones during the aging process, to enhance quality of life. As an end of life doula, I provide Non-Medical practical support to those who have received a life limiting diagnosis, providing physical, holistic, and emotional support before, during, and after death to ensure you and your loved one’s final wishes are honored. I have experienced and witnessed the importance of having a support system and advocate in place during these life changing moments and believe everyone deserves to experience supportive and informed care with love, compassion, integrity and dignity.

End of life planning can be especially difficult to think about, but it is the greatest gift to yourself and loved ones.

Providing thoughtful decisions now about your end of life wishes, treatment, and care while you are of sound mind and health prove to be invaluable and ensures your wishes will be honored.

Vigil Doula Service
Preparing to Cross the Threshold is a very Sacred and Emotional time for the dying, family, and friends. As your End of Life Doula, I will assist you in creating for and honoring your wishes over your final days and hours. This may include how you want your space to look and feel, music or sounds you want to hear, lighting in the room, scents you may like, readings you may want to be read, photographs or treasures you may want in the room, rituals you may want, light massage, or people you may want by your side.
LEARN MORELinda cared for our Mother who had MS for years, and quite literally covered every aspect from making sure there was food, arranging hospice, and so much more. She met with the nurses, cared for her dog, and empowered Mom to make her own choices in difficult times. She attended and arranged medical meetings, worked with the fiduciary company, the attorney, and kept us in the loop when we were unable to be there. She genuinely loved our Mother and was caring, understanding, and true to her word, and for that, we are forever grateful. Thank you for everything Linda, you're one of a kind.
Wes & Amy,Linda cared for my dear friend Dian during her long battle with MS. Linda showed love, grace, and wisdom all while taking care of every one of Dian's needs. She met with Lawyers, Caregivers, Hospice staff, and the Fiduciary company. Linda has a unique combination of compassion, and organizational skills, that make her perfect for taking care of loved ones, at the end of their lives.
Mary Hawthorne,I worked alongside Linda on a complicated case, and I enjoyed working with her. Linda is very thorough and compassionate. In a situation that changed every day, Linda was calm, and she took her time making decisions, taking others into account as well. I wish I had someone like her on my team for all other cases.
Hope, Home Care Assistance
