WHAT IS A DEATH DOULA?
Family + Community Support
A death doula is a professional who offers holistic support to individuals and their families during the end-of-life journey. In addition to providing emotional, spiritual, and practical assistance, a death doula, such as myself, creates the space for humor and community in my services. By infusing moments of joy and laughter into the process, I aim to create a more balanced and compassionate atmosphere for both the dying individual and their loved ones. This approach acknowledges the importance of finding lightness amidst the heaviness of the situation, fostering connection, comfort, and peace during this profound time.
ABOUT KAYLEE
COOL + CALM
A certified death doula based in Nashville, TN, with a professional background rooted in the world of comedy.
I understand the necessity of balancing sorrow with moments of joy, recognizing that laughter can bring light even in the darkest of times. I’m committed to incorporating these moments of levity into the end-of-life journey, offering comfort and solace to both the dying and their loved ones.
I want to reassure you that the lightness and humor I encourage is always done with the utmost respect and sensitivity. I fully understand that for some, the concept of finding humor in death may seem inappropriate or uncomfortable, and I respect that perspective entirely.
During consultations and interactions with clients, any use of humor will be approached delicately and organically, always within each person’s comfort level. Your comfort, dignity, and emotional well-being are my top priorities, and I am committed to providing support that aligns with your individual needs and preferences. This includes holding unlimited space for the sorrow as well.
While humor may not be for everyone, I believe in its power to bring light and warmth to even the most challenging of circumstances. My goal is to create a compassionate and inclusive space where each person feels heard, understood, and supported on their unique end-of-life journey.
