How I can help?
I primarily serve as a Caregiver. I offer Death Doula Services. I am a Unitarian Universalist Lay Chaplain. I am a Notary Public. I’m a member of The Order of the Good Death (Serving on their donor advisory board), NEDA (National End-of-Life Doula Alliance), Going With Grace Alumni, National Home Funeral Alliance, and the Hospice Foundation of America.
Caregiver
As a non-medical caregiver, I help people live as independently as possible for as long as possible. I serve as a companion, transportation, advocate, resource connector, another set of ears at medical appointments, light housekeeper, and guide as challenges arise, as well as many other options.
Death Doula
The goal of end-of-life care is to foster a peaceful transition, honoring the wishes and values of the individual. By combining compassion with skilled care, we can help create an environment where the final stages of life are marked by tranquility and acceptance. In these tender moments, the presence of a caring and knowledgeable Doula can make all the difference, transforming fear and uncertainty into a time of meaningful connection and peace.
Notary Public
A Notary Public is an official appointed by a state government to serve the public as an impartial witness during notarizations. As ministerial officials, they are expected to follow statutory rules without the exercise of significant personal discretion.
Notaries Public certify the proper execution of many of the life-changing documents of private citizens — whether those transactions convey real estate, grant powers of attorney, establish a prenuptial agreement, or perform the multitude of other activities that enable our civil society to function.

“”Mare came to care for my husband during his last few months of his life. It was such a relief for both of us! Bob loved having her. She read to him, helped with baths and generally made everything better. It became difficult during the last days of hospice. Mare worked with aides and nurses as he was actively dying. I highly recommend Mare! She goes beyond a typical helper. I’ve even recommended her to my friends.”

“”Mom needed help and thankfully Mare was available. She was a friend when my Mom couldn’t get out to see her other friends. As Mom became more frail, we occasionally needed more help. Mare always found time for her. My mother relied on Mare and trusted her. She showed Mom love and respect. Mare helped us through my Mother’s last days and I can’t thank her enough.”

“Mare took care of my mom throughout the different stages of dementia she suffered from in her last years. She visited my mother at the facility where she lived frequently. She was there when my mom took her last breath, minding her in vigil until I arrived. She was of great comfort to myself and my family. I know my mom loved her, trusted her, and was glad she saw her through.”

Mare,
Thank you for being the “Light of Love” to our family-especially before, during, and after the time of Dad’s passing.
Light and Love,
P.Y.
