About Organically Human | End-Of-Life Doula
Organically Human, Founded by Meg Freeman, is an End-Of-Life Doula service offering non-medical emotional, logistical, spiritual, grief & bereavement support through companionship and guidance for individuals and their circle of support. These services are for those preparing for or have experienced critical transformative life changes (disease or elder care support), diagnosed with a terminal illness, or undergoing sudden or anticipated deaths. Our mission is to be a supportive presence and meet others where they’re at while holding space for their life circumstances. We acknowledge the human experience of living and dying with emphasis on the idea that we all have our own story, own pain, own values, and own beauty - that is all worth holding. Organically Human’s core values are advocacy, compassion, and autonomy. Our goal is to make an unfathomable journey a little less impossible by filling in the gaps where needed, creating a collaborative support plan, and honoring life, love, and legacy.

Should someone work with you even if they are healthy?
Yes! Discussing mortality and concerns and fears around death while doing end of planning on the logistical side, is how we can also work together before any critical life changes occur. This is to help you feel empowered, educated, and supported. Another way is if you or someone is elderly and would like to seek companionship/elder care support and build a relationship over time to be a resource as needed in each phase.
