ELIZABETH KNELL

DEATH DOULA and END-OF-LIFE PLANNER

My work is about bringing compassion, calm, and presence to one of life’s most tender thresholds. I walk alongside individuals and families to provide practical support, ease fear, create meaning, and honor the final chapter with dignity and peace.

I provide non-medical support that complements both hospice and palliative care.

Here are some of the ways I support you and your loved ones:

• Guidance with Advance Care Directives so your wishes are known and honored.

• Life review and meaning-making to reflect on what has mattered most.

• Legacy projects to capture stories, memories, or keepsakes for those who remain.

• Steady companionship through regular visits with the dying person and their circle of care.

• Personalized rituals and ceremonies to mark important moments with reverence.

• Gentle practices such as meditation, breath awareness, and grounding.

• Deep listening without judgment, offering space for whatever arises.

• Meeting you where you are emotionally, spiritually, and practically.

• Family support in recognizing the signs of dying and preparing with compassion.

• Vigil planning to create a sacred, intentional presence at the bedside.

• End-of-life planning — from obituary writing to eco-friendly alternatives for funerals, memorials, burials, or cremation.

My Commitment

To bring education, tenderness, and presence to the dying process.
To hold space with reverence for grief and love.
To be a companion, advocate, and guide—helping you and your loved ones feel supported, seen, and cared for on this final journey.

Your first consultation is always free so we can explore what kind of support feels right. From there, we’ll create a personalized plan and agreement together.
