Grief and End-of-Life Matters, Matter
An End-of-Life Doula can help you explore death, support you through grief, or assist you with the end-of-life matters that matter most to you.
​
Welcome to Empowered Pathways. My name is certified End-of-Life Doula Jessica Dawkins, and I offer local support, education, and resources in Volusia County, Florida, and virtual services in the United States.
​
I support people, family, and pets. I am also an expert in neurodivergent-affirming end-of-life support, holistic support, and memory care support.

How Can An End of Life Advocate or Deathcare Professional Help Me?
End of Life Planning
I'll explain the important documents involved in advanced care planning, or you can learn how to plan your end-of-life needs or write out your wishes. Talk with me to sort out the needs of a loved one, or consider the best burial, memorial, and/or funeral options for you or a family member.
Creative Healing and Grief Support
As a certified EOLD and professional creative writing instructor, I offer creative writing sessions focused on end-of-life exploration and grief. With me, you can write a book as a legacy project, or get help with or eulogy writing.
Nature-Based Support
Walking is excellent for sorting out challenges. Join your Volusia doula for guided nature walks to discuss your end-of-life needs or get emotional support, all in a beautiful environment. I also offer virtual sessions so we can meet each other in nature to discuss grief or end of life matter
Doula Visits
Visit with your doula locally or virtually to discuss end-of-life planning, have your doula help sit vigil, or have your doula visit a loved one in hospice. Get creative in 1-on-1 grief or processing sessions, and have someone to talk to about EOL matters.
Virtual End of Life Planning​
Here, you can discuss end of life documents, green burials, living funerals, legacy projects, talk about what happens during death, or get emotional and spiritual support from the comfort of your own home. I offer both 1-on-1 and group classes for all.
