Death Doula

Ashley Geissinger

I am an INELDA certified end-of-life doula who is also a seasoned hospice social worker having over 18 years of end-of-life experience. I am able to provide education, support, resources, and bereavement support to anyone who is in end of life or caring for someone in end of life. I can be contacted by cell phone or email.

I'm an end-of-life doula and dementia support consultant, supporting individuals and families through aging, illness, and memory changes. While others manage symptoms, I tend to hearts. Life's final chapters aren't merely medical experiences; they're deeply human ones. I'm here for the human part, walking alongside you to transform what feels overwhelming into something meaningful. Guided by the truth that every life matters infinitely, I offer warmth, patience, and unwavering acceptance. I am here to help you find meaning, even when words are hard to find.

I received end-of-life doula training from the International End-of-Life Doula Association (INELDA), the Doulagivers Institute, and The Institute for the Study of Birth, Breath, and Death, with specialized education in dementia care and grief support. I am a Certified Dementia Practitioner and hold Dementia Doula Certification through Second Wind Dreams. I am endorsed by the National End-of-Life Doula Alliance (NEDA) through the achievement of an End-of-Life Doula Proficiency Badge. These credentials ensure that I am well-equipped to provide compassionate and personalized support to families, guiding them with expertise and empathy during difficult times.

Compassion and presence have always been at the heart of who I am. As a Registered Nurse I spent years walking beside people through life’s most sacred moments. Today, as an End-of-Life Doula, I am honored to support the non-medical, physical, emotional, and spiritual concerns for my clients and their loved ones. My role is to support and guide individuals and families with compassion - helping them navigate the journey of dying with dignity, comfort, and love. I believe that end-of-life is sacred, and it is my greatest privilege to walk with others through this final passage. 

I am a Doulagivers Institute and an INELDA (International End-of-Life Doula Association) trained and certified End-of-Life Doula and have also passed the NEDA (National End-of-Life Doula Alliance) proficiency testing. My services also offer Advance Care Directives (living will and healthcare proxies) as well as energy work such as Reiki, and Guided Imagery Meditation, if desired. I created Pinnacle Doula Services to ensure that individuals and families can access dignified, informed, and compassionate support - beyond what traditional healthcare systems are able to provide.
