About Hilary
End of Life Doula
I was trained at the International End-of-Life Doula Association. In addition to my end-of-life doula practice, I am a hospice volunteer with the Center For Hope where I work with individuals and their families. Previously, I had a successful 25+ year career in digital publishing and EdTech. My undergraduate degree from Clark University is in Psychology with a Certificate in Gerontology where I worked with elders in their homes, nursing homes, and hospices. I have deep roots in Park Slope, Brooklyn where I raised my two children, worked my shift at the Co-op, and volunteered at Congregation Beth Elohim – where I have sung to terminally ill people at their bedside.
I work in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
My approach is to create opportunities for people to talk about their life and their death - in a space where these are not mutually exclusive concepts and death is normalized. This is where I work to explore the life you have, and the what ifs, fears, unknowns, and unfinished business. Together we will use what we have discovered to inform the now of life no matter how much time is left.
