Hello.

My name is Amanda Goins, and I am a certified end-of-life doula and radiologic technologist. As a healthcare worker as in radiology, I have always gravitated toward my geriatric and elderly patients, and took a special interest in the well-being of those facing terminal illness. I find great inspiration and hope in those that have faced or are currently facing incredibly challenging times, and I feel it is a great honor to assist them with the process of closure and completion of final tasks, and leaving this world with peace.

A "good death" in my opinion is one where we feel heard, cared for, and in control of our decisions. That can look very different for each person, but my goal in this non-medical role is to educate, advocate, and support you or your loved one at the end of their life.

Additionally, much of the logistical work can be done years before it is needed, giving you the confidence that when the time comes, no one will be left wondering if they respected your wishes.

Please note, this is a non-medical role, and doesn't replace or interfere with medical care or hospice care. An End-of-Life Doula is there exclusively as support and advocacy, and will always defer any medical needs to those professionals. While I do have credentials that allow me to perform medical procedures in a healthcare environment, that is not a part of this role. If you would like to discuss options for yourself or a loved one, please contact me.
