Happy October! 🤍

I've been sitting with this decision for a while. With encouragement from my staff, fellow doulas, and students, I'm finally ready to open up more about life at the bedside.

Doula Diaries: Life at the Bedside Starts Now!

I'll share my experience as an end-of-life doula and caregiver, supporting those with illness and navigating hospice.

The good, the bad, the ugly, and the moments that remind me why I keep coming back.

This isn't about giving a quick definition of what a doula does. The emotions, the challenges, the lessons, and the everyday realities of caring for others.

My experiences. My reflections. Always with respect for the privacy and dignity of our residents and families.

So I want to hear from you:
• Have you ever had a loved one go through hospice?
• What do you wish you knew before walking into that room?
• Are you curious about what an end-of-life doula actually does all day?

Drop a comment below. Ask me anything. I'm reading them all.

Stay tuned. There's more to come. And I'm ready to have these conversations with you.

👇 Tell me: What do you want to hear first?

🐾💜 Meet Our Doula Dogs 💜🐾

At Holistic Haven PCH, comfort comes in many forms—and sometimes it has four paws and a wagging tail.

Our Doula Dogs are an important part of our care team. They provide companionship, unconditional love, gentle comfort, and moments of joy to our residents, families, staff, and visitors. Whether they are sitting quietly at a bedside, offering a soft nuzzle during a difficult moment, or simply bringing a smile to someone's face, their presence can make all the difference.

Animals have a special way of connecting with people when words are not enough. They help reduce anxiety, provide emotional support, encourage conversation, and bring a sense of peace and normalcy during life's most challenging transitions.

We are grateful for the comfort, love, and healing our furry team members bring to our home each day. 🐶💕

Because at Holistic Haven, we believe care is about more than meeting physical needs—it's about nurturing the heart, mind, and spirit as well.

✨ Family Testimonials ✨

"I really appreciate everything you and your staff did for us."

💜 In Loving Memory of Lenda 💜

Recently, we had the honor of caring for Lenda here at Holistic Haven PCH.

Lenda was such a sweet soul—kind, gentle, and always a pleasure to be around. She loved spending time chatting with the ladies in the home, sharing stories, laughter, and companionship. She also introduced us to some of her favorite classic television shows, bringing back wonderful memories and giving us all a chance to enjoy programs many of us had not seen in years.

It was truly a privilege to walk alongside Lenda and her family during this chapter of her journey. We are grateful for the time we shared, the conversations, the smiles, and the moments of connection that made her so special.

✨ What Makes Holistic Haven Different? ✨

At Holistic Haven Personal Care Home, we believe care is about so much more than meeting physical needs. It is about honoring the whole person, their story, their relationships, their wishes, and their dignity.

While many care homes focus primarily on daily living assistance, we have created a home where compassion, connection, and comfort are at the center of everything we do.

💜 What makes us different?

✔️ End-of-Life Doulas are part of our care team
✔️ We provide individualized, relationship-centered care
✔️ We accept both short-term and long-term residents
✔️ We welcome hospice residents and support all hospice agencies
✔️ We accept many higher-acuity care needs, including feeding tubes, catheter care, wound care
✔️ We help support GIP hospice discharges and care transitions
✔️ We offer companionship, bedside presence, and emotional support for residents and families
✔️ We provide grief support and guidance throughout the journey
✔️ We create opportunities for meaningful moments, celebrations, music, outings, and connection
✔️ We work closely with families and care teams to ensure each resident's goals and wishes are honored

🏡 With only a small number of residents in each home, we are able to truly get to know the people we serve. They are not room numbers or diagnoses. They become part of our family.

At Holistic Haven, our goal is simple:

✨ To help every resident live with dignity, comfort, purpose, and connection—through every stage of life's journey.

If you are looking for a different kind of care home for yourself, a loved one, a hospice patient, or a respite stay, we would love to talk with you.

🌿💜 Learning Through Service, Compassion, and Real-Life Experience 💜🌿

One of the things that makes Holistic Haven so unique is our partnership with the International Doula Life Movement Institute (IDLM).

As a teaching and mentoring care home, we welcome IDLM students, graduates, interns, and apprentices from across the United States who come to learn what compassionate, person-centered care truly looks like in practice.

Our residents are not simply cared for—they are surrounded by a community of individuals dedicated to bringing comfort, companionship, dignity, and connection.

✨ Through supervised training experiences, students may participate in:

💜 Companion visits and bedside presence
💜 Life review and legacy activities
💜 Music and meaningful engagement
💜 Family support and caregiver companionship
💜 End-of-life doula mentorship and observation
💜 Resident-centered comfort measures
💜 Learning how to honor the whole person—mind, body, and spirit

For many students, Holistic Haven provides an opportunity to move beyond textbooks and classrooms and experience the heart of this work firsthand.

For our residents and families, it means additional layers of support, connection, and caring presence from individuals who are passionate about serving others.

We are honored to help shape the next generation of End-of-Life Doulas while creating meaningful experiences for those who call Holistic Haven home.

🏡 At Holistic Haven, we believe learning and caring go hand in hand.

Together, we are building a future where no one has to walk life's most important journeys alone.

Recently, we had the privilege of caring for John. John had a love for playing cards, spending time with friends, and listening to music. During his time with us, we were able to help him enjoy some special outings to his favorite place to play cards with the people he cared about most. Those moments brought smiles, laughter, and memories that will stay with us forever.

It was a true honor to walk alongside John, his family, and his friends through this chapter of life. Caring for him reminded us once again why this work matters so deeply, not just caring for a person, but honoring their life, their passions, their relationships, and their story.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to OpusCare for being a part of John's care team and for partnering with us to provide compassionate support throughout his journey. Special thanks to Robin and Angel for the kindness, dedication, and support they provided to John and those who loved him. We are grateful to work alongside professionals who lead with both skill and heart.

A special thank you as well to the students of the International Doula Life Movement. Your visits, presence, music, compassion, and willingness to sit beside someone during a sacred time brought comfort, connection, and moments of peace to John. The simple acts of sharing songs, conversation, and companionship made a meaningful difference and reflected the heart of doula care in action.

On behalf of everyone at Holistic Haven, we extend our deepest condolences to John's family and friends. Thank you for allowing us to be part of his journey. He will be remembered with great affection and respect.

💙 Rest peacefully, John. Your card games, your music, your laughter, and your spirit will not be forgotten.

Some people leave an imprint on every life they touch, and Kevin was one of those people.

Kevin proudly served as a member of the National Guard and as a Deputy, dedicating his life to serving and protecting others. Beyond his service, he was a beloved brother, father, grandfather, friend, and so much more. He was a man of strength, character, humor, and heart.

At Holistic Haven, we are reminded every day that every life tells a story. Kevin's story was one of service, dedication, family, and love. His legacy will continue to live on through the countless lives he touched.
