What is a Doula?
A Doula is a non medical professional providing holistic (physical, emotional, spiritual) support.
An END-OF-LIFE DOULA is someone who works with a person and their loved ones from the point of terminal diagnosis, through the bereavement period of the loved ones. This individual can even help with planning for the aging process and the paperwork that goes along with it.
why I do it
Debra Fulton
Hello I am Debra Fulton.
I have had the honor to be present at the end of some of my loved ones and some patients' lives and each experience has had a profound effect.
Having worked in physical therapy for the last 33 years, I was somehow always called to hospice type care in my heart. The end-of-life space has never felt foreign to me, only natural, though it wasn't until now I discovered how to be relevant in that sacred arena.
Enter Doulagivers Institute. I am now a Certified End of Life Doula, offering professional, compassionate and holistic non medical end of life care and support to individuals and families before, during and after the dying process.
“For the past seventy-five years or so, many people have not been part of caring for their own family members as they die, and they certainly have not been part of caring for their own dead. But our present times are reflecting a shift in perspective over the last several years.”
Deanna Cochran, RN, Author of Accompanying the Dying

What they say
P.K.
When my husband was nearing the end of his life, Debra would come in some evenings and help me care for him, as I needed some additional support at times when hospice could not be present. I appreciated her knowledge and natural ability to interact with him and provide care with dignity and compassion.

I am very thankful for the care and compassion that Debra took with my mother in her final days. She was working as a doula at the time without even knowing it.
