Every human being is unique. The way we come into this world, how we live our lives, and how we leave this world.

Realizing we are the Authors of Our Lives, we have the opportunity to be Authors of Our Death, if we choose.

Please feel free to explore our offerings to serve and contact us if you have any questions or need more information.

"Sliding scale" pricing is also available as part of Tobias & Co.'s "Giving Back" Division.

End-of-Life Doula

Honored to serve... to stand at The Threshold with you and your loved ones.

"Doulas provide emotional, spiritual, and physical support at an intensely personal and crucial time. They assist people in finding meaning, creating a legacy project, and planning for how the last days will unfold. Doulas also guide and support loved ones through the last days of life and ease the suffering of grief in its early stages."

From the International End-of-Life Doula (INELDA) website

Pet Doula Services

Animals have the capacity to truly love us—every bit of us—deeply and dearly. We share a profound bond with our "fur babies" and their passing can impact us greatly.

Creating a Circle of Life & Death with symbols and rituals can be most helpful and healing both during their transition and after. The options for End-of-Life Care & Services can be explored on our "Pets" page. In addition to these choices, we offer

Legacy Projects
