Helping you plan so you have more TIME

Compassionate End-of-Life Doula Support

Facing the end of life, whether expected or sudden, can be overwhelming. As a dedicated End-of-Life Doula, Melanie offers practical, emotional, and heartfelt support for individuals, families, and communities navigating this deeply personal time.

Whether you're planning ahead or dealing with the shock of a sudden loss, you don't have to walk this path alone. Melanie provides gentle guidance, clear information, and personalised care to help you make informed decisions at your own pace. Often, the most reassuring words she can offer are: “You don’t need to do anything today”.

If someone you love has died suddenly and you are unsure what to do next, especially if the Coroner’s Office is involved, please call Melanie on 0406 622 091 for a complimentary chat. Together, we can create space to breathe and begin to plan your next steps. Read more here about how Melanie can assist in the event of a sudden death.
