Shanen Kazynski is a certified end of life Doula and Life Coach.  She has a Bachelors of Science degree in Psychology as well as having an advanced mentorship in end of life doula studies with Quality Life Care; and is also a NEDA member. She also has additional courses in Servant Leadership. Her experiences as a CNA, EMT, CPR, AED, and first aid are all factors that are guaranteed with her services. 

As an end-of-life Doula, she provides non-medical, holistic support and comfort to the dying person and their family, which may include education and guidance as well as emotional, spiritual or practical care, from as early as initial diagnosis through bereavement.

In working with Shanen she can make talking about death and dying more comfortable. It's ok if you don’t know how to ask for or offer support when someone you love is dying; an end-of-life doula can help. Having experience accompanying individuals and families before, during and after the time of transition from this world allows me to ease this transition by providing peace and stability  for you so you're able to focus on the time left with your family and loved ones.

  She supports individuals, families and significant others during end of life, by assisting with:

  • Companioning hospice patients (including health care support) and caregivers

  • Supporting the spiritual journey (addressing fears and concerns)

  • Life Review and Legacy Leaving (memory making: photo album, video, etc.)

  • Intentional planning for the end of life journey

  • ·Planning end of life celebrations and rituals

  • Funeral and/or vigil planning and personal property assistance
