About Nicole

With deep compassion and gentle wisdom, I support individuals and families through one of life's most profound transitions.

As a certified death doula, I believe that every person deserves to approach their final journey with dignity, peace, and surrounded by love. My role is to provide non-medical support, guidance, and presence during this sacred time.

My approach combines professional training with heartfelt empathy, creating a safe space where fears can be acknowledged, wishes can be honored, and families can find comfort in knowing their loved one is truly supported.

I serve families throughout Northeast Ohio, with a focus on Summit and Stark county, offering both in-person and virtual support as needed. Whether you're planning ahead, facing an immediate need, or supporting a loved one, I'm here to walk this path with you.

A death doula is a trained professional who provides non-medical support, guidance, and comfort to individuals and families during the end-of-life process. We focus on emotional, spiritual, and practical support to ensure dignity and peace during this sacred transition.

While hospice provides medical care and pain management, death doulas offer non-medical support. We focus on emotional comfort, spiritual guidance, family support, and helping create meaningful experiences during the dying process.
