Dying deserves the same care as every other part of being alive.

I'm Meg an end-of-life doula in Central Florida. I help families plan, prepare, and be present through serious illness, dying, and grief.

I spent fifteen years in oncology clinical research before I thought seriously about doula work. What made the work personal came later. When my oldest child was seven weeks old my Mom was diagnosed with cancer. She died less than four years later. I have never known motherhood without also being a caregiver.
 

As an only child, I learned early how much of caregiving is invisible — the coordination, the advocacy, the holding of the whole picture while everyone else holds a piece. I also learned how uncomfortable most people are around dying, and how much that discomfort costs the families in the middle of it.


After my Mom died, I started volunteering with hospice. That's where I recognized the work I was already doing.
 

In my work as an end-of-life doula, I help families do what the medical system doesn't have time for and what the culture doesn't have language for. Advance care planning. Serious illness support. Vigil planning and family communication. Legacy work. Grief education. Held together at the pace the family actually needs.
 

I don't provide medical care. I don't replace hospice, clergy, or clinical teams. I work alongside them, and I work directly for you.
