We are a non- medical practice dedicated to supporting the whole person - body, mind, and spirit, through three ares of care:

  • Compassionate End-of-Life Support
  • Planning Ahead for Peace of Mind

About Nancy Macke

Nancy Macke
End of Life Doula
Compassionate Transitions

After a career in healthcare, I found my true calling in building meaningful relationships to help people navigate some of life’s most challenging transitions.


I am a Certified End-of-Life Doula, Elder Care Doula, and Doula Care Consultant. I'm also a proud member of the International Doulagivers Membership Association and the National End-of-Life Doula Association. I currently serve as a hospice volunteer doula and was honored to be the 2024 recipient of the Donna West Memorial Award (North Region).


I am devoted to guiding individuals and families through life’s most tender transitions. With compassion and deep listening, I support those facing life-limiting illness in finding peace, closure, and dignity. I also help with Advance Care Planning to ensure your wishes are known, respected, and honored.


It would be my privilege to walk alongside you and your loved ones during life’s most meaningful moments.

An advance directive is a legal document that communicates your preferences for medical treatment in the event you become unable to make your own decisions. Whether you've made decisions or are just beginning, you'll discover various tools and have the opportunity to start documenting what matters most to inform family, friends, and healthcare professionals.
