Guided Personally by Lisa of Ascendings
As your death doula, I walk beside you and your loved ones through one of life’s most profound passages — offering comfort, clarity, and compassionate guidance every step of the way. My role is to help you feel supported, understood, and at peace, while ensuring your wishes and your family’s needs are gently honored with dignity and love.
In addition to emotional and spiritual support, I also serve as a liaison — connecting families and clients with the right end-of-life services, communicating with providers, making calls, arranging visits, and being the steady presence when loved ones can’t be there. My mission is to help families navigate these tender decisions with calm, confidence, and care, so no one ever feels alone or overwhelmed in the process.
I bring presence, comfort, and reassurance during a time that can feel uncertain. Through heartfelt listening and gentle conversation, I help individuals and families find acceptance, understanding, and moments of peace amid change.
I assist in creating deeply personal keepsakes — handwritten letters, recorded stories, or cherished messages — that allow your voice and memories to live on. Each expression becomes a timeless gift, carrying love and laughter forward to those who will always hold you dear.
I serve as your bridge between care teams, providers, and family members — making calls, arranging visits, clarifying details, and ensuring your wishes are respected. When family members cannot be present, I stand in loving support — offering steadiness, communication, and compassion on their behalf.
In your final moments, I remain quietly beside you — ensuring your space feels peaceful, your wishes are honored, and your loved ones feel cared for. It is my deepest calling to hold that sacred space where life, love, and legacy intertwine — gently, beautifully, and without fear.
As your death doula and liaison, I bring peace to the journey, clarity to the process, and grace to every connection — helping you and your family experience this transition with dignity, love, and light.
In my experience as a death doula, I have found that the most meaningful support does not begin at the final moment, nor does it end with a single conversation. My intention is to build a trusted relationship with my clients—walking alongside them from their last living celebration, through the quieter days that follow, and ultimately to their final breath.
This work is deeply personal to me, and I feel honored to hold such sacred space. I take this responsibility seriously, with care, respect, and genuine compassion. End-of-life can be frightening, isolating, and emotionally overwhelming. Beyond medical care, many individuals simply need human connection—someone to listen without judgment, sit quietly in the stillness, offer reassurance, or provide companionship when fear or loneliness surfaces. My role is to ensure that no one has to navigate this transition alone.

Ongoing Companion & Doula Support
$1,000 per month | Up to 8 hours per month
Designed for individuals seeking continuity, connection, and companionship beyond isolated visits, Steady Presence offers ongoing, trusted support throughout the end-of-life journey.
Support may include companionship during lonely days or evenings, shared outings such as meals or walks, transportation to appointments or engagements, emotional support through conversation or quiet presence, and simply having someone there when support is needed. Services are flexible and shaped by the client’s comfort level and evolving needs and may be provided personally by me or, when appropriate, by trusted members of my support team.
Personal expenses such as meals, tickets, or retail purchases are handled separately.
All services provided by Ascendings are non-medical in nature and are intended to complement—never replace—medical or hospice care.
My intention is to walk alongside my clients not just through milestones, but through the in-between moments—offering comfort, companionship, and reassurance whenever it is needed.
