End of Life Doula Tamara MacDonald-Thomas

The vast majority of people would rather do just about anything, other than to discuss death; (their own, their parents, spouse or children). On any other difficult subject, most people turn to a professional for advice and guidance, someone who has experience in the area of their struggle. When it is the topic of health, you turn to doctors and specialists, when it’s a legal matter, a lawyer. When the doctors run out of options to save your life, you’re faced with that conversation… how do you want to die? It should make sense then to ask for the help of a professional who has experience with assisting people who are dying. That person could be an End-of-Life Doula.

Reiki is a Japanese technique used for healing, stress reduction, and to promote relaxation. The Japanese have been using this practice for thousands of years to balance their life force energy. It has been documented and proven by science, that all living things possess an invisible life force energy. In recent years, western doctors and the medical field have begun to understand the importance of maintaining balance in our energy to support a healthy immune system.
