END OF LIFE DOULAS · LIFE CELEBRANTS · WELLINGTON, KĀPITI & ONLINE
Before We Go offers compassionate end of life support for people who are dying, and for the people who love them – across Wellington, the Kāpiti Coast, and online.
Yet it’s often the conversation we’re least prepared to have.
At Before We Go, we believe that talking about death doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It can be empowering, healing, and deeply human.
Whether you’ve just received a diagnosis, you’re supporting someone through the final weeks or months of life, or you simply want to plan ahead before you need to, we’re here to walk alongside you with thoughtful, compassionate, and practical support.
We don’t take the journey for you.
We simply make sure you don’t have to walk it alone.
You want to feel supported, not managed. To have someone sit with you in the hard conversations, help you surface what matters, and make sure your wishes are known and honoured.
You want to show up well for someone you love, but you don’t always know how. A doula can help you navigate the uncertainty, so you’re not carrying this alone.
You don’t have to be dying to think about dying. Legacy work and end of life planning are gifts you can give yourself, and the people who will one day be beside you.
Whether you’ve just received a diagnosis, you’re supporting someone through their final weeks or months, or you simply want to get your affairs in order before you need to — you can reach out for thoughtful, unhurried support. That’s what a doula is for.
People can feel unsupported and not in control. A doula can help sit with you, listen to those hard conversations, help you surface what matters, and make sure your wishes are known and honoured.
You want to be there for someone you love but sometimes it is difficult to know how…
You don’t have to be dying to think about dying. Legacy work and end of life planning are gifts you can give yourself, and the people who are alongside you.
Being alongside you — not fixing, not advising, just being with you.
Helping families communicate, navigate difficult dynamics, and be there for each other.
Before we go, we turn toward what matters most.
We honour the life we’ve lived, tend to what remains unfinished,
and gather up the threads of a life so that little is left unsaid, undone, or unshared.
Every person who walks alongside you at Before We Go brings their own warmth, skill, and way of showing up. Here’s who you might meet.
I bring warmth, presence, and a deep respect for the stories people carry. I see our end of life as a place where we can bring our creativity to bear, allowing us to do it in a way that feels authentic. I love creating resources to support people navigate the end, their way.

I have a gift for lifting what’s heavy, and staying steady in the moments that ask the most of us. I see our end of life as naturally as I see birth, both transitions and a part of life. It’s the most present moment you can be and the most sacred and beautiful.
