My name is Jodi Williams and I am a practicing certified EOL Doula in Cambridge, Ontario.
After working 30 years in the social services sector supporting adults on the ASD spectrum to improve and enhance their quality of lives I felt a pull to further educate myself and follow my path to support those and their caregivers at the end of life.
My father received palliative care over 25 years ago and as appreciative as we were of the care he received it was also eye opening to learn how limiting their time was with patients. Fast forward to current times and unfortunately things have not improved. I’ve always felt that those nearing the end of life should be comforted, pampered and acknowledged as they proceed to their final destination.
I offer my purposeful presence, training, experience and spiritual calling to accompany those through the dying process. Additionally, I am trained in:
Mental Health First Aid, Standard First Aid, Understanding Dementia, Hospice and Palliative Care Ontario training, Palliative Care Massage.
