Hi, my name is Jessica Dawkins, and I'm an End of Life (EOL) Doula. I'm here for individuals of all ages and backgrounds who are thinking about their end of life, grief, and deathcare needs.
An End of Life Doula
Connected to the Volusia County and Deathcare Community.
Empowered Pathways founder and End of Life Doula Jessica Dawkins, BA, is a resident of Volusia County, FL, and a member of IAPO, the Florida End of Life Doula Alliance (FEOLDA), and the National End-of-Life Doula Alliance (NEDA).

How Can An End of Life Doula Help Me?

Creative Healing and Grief Support
Take part in creative writing sessions focused on end-of-life, writing for grief classes, legacy projects, or get help with or eulogy writing.
Nature-Based Support
Join your doula for guided nature walks to discuss your end-of-life needs or get emotional support, all in a beautiful environment.
Doula Visits
Visit with your doula to discuss end-of-life planning, have your doula help sit vigil, or have your doula visit a loved one in hospice.
Virtual End of Life Planning
Discuss end of life documents, green burials, living funerals, or get emotional and spiritual support from the comfort of your own home.
