Your partner in navigating aging and end of life
About Hilary
End of Life Doula
I was trained at the International End-of-Life Doula Association. My undergraduate degree from Clark University was in Psychology and I received a Certificate in Gerontology through volunteering with elders in nursing homes, and hospices. After a career in digital publishing, I find my heart pulling me back to helping individuals and families prepare for end of life. I have deep roots in Park Slope, Brooklyn where I raised my two children, 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.
