Compassionate End of Life Support 

What is an end of Life Doula/ Death Doula?

Meet Your Doula: Janna Whitley 

    As a certified and trained Death/ End-of-Life Doula in the Cibolo (San Antonio, TX) area, Janna offers personized end of life planning and end of life support.  Janna's goal is to give you and your family the attention and knowledge you need to make informed decisions about end of life care.

    Janna has been a public school teacher for over twenty years, serving grades 2-6.  As time passes, she has realized her higher calling in the importance of dignity and compassion during the end of life.  She is a Certified End-of-Life Doula through the International Doula Life Movement.  Janna has been trained in massage at Austin's Lauterstein-Conway School of Massage, plus the Sound Healing Academy, for Therapeutic Zen Singing Bowls to reduce stress and improve relaxation.  Reiki is also a modality in which she can help reduce pain and grief.  

    Please know that you do not have to have a terminal diagnosis or be actively dying in order to use Lotus Moon Doula Care.  We help people to have a conversation about the concerns they have around death and dying, or for anyone who would like to plan ahead.
