About Alicia

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I worked with a hospice company for over 10 years. I started as a CNA then was promoted to be the Volunteer Coordinator. I loved working with our patients and their families. I have never worked in a job where you are always appreciated. I have met some amazing people and I love listening to their stories, being a shoulder to cry on, and watching families come together in a time of need. I find through education and preparation for what's to come and what to expect helps everyone be more comfortable and not be afraid of their dying loved one. Through my hospice experience, I felt pulled to become an End of Life Doula. I've always felt that we need to take more control over our own end-of-life experience and not be a medical experiment or assume the doctor always knows the right answers. We have choices and we need to know what questions we need to be asking when we are diagnosed with a life-threatening disease. Let me help you and your family through this last chapter of life.

Alicia came into our lives and home while my mother in law was put on hospice for vascular dementia. In helping us learn how to care for her she became a part of our family. Her compassion, empathy and willingness to not just do a job for a senior lady by bathing her and caring for her daily needs but keeping her dignity intact, laughing and sharing stories ultimately prepared us for the difficult journey that is end of life. We are eternally grateful to her for her kindness and care of Marion. She is a true, trustworthy professional with a huge heart and bright smile!!
