I am Erin Haywood a certified Death Doula from IAP Career College. I am also a Director of admissions in an assisted living and memory care community and am working towards becoming a Certified Dementia Practitioner. I fell in love with the thought of being able to help our families here in the community when a loved one is passing. What better way to help the transition than with someone they already trust? I have experienced death firsthand with the passing of my late father and understand the dying process can be very stressful. I would love to help others in any way I can in their time of need.

In late 2022 I sat vigil with my grandmother as her life’s journey came to an end, advocating for what I knew she would have wanted… Little did I know at the time she was my muse, and while my family and I should have documented all her end-of-life preferences well in advance, I knew with all my heart being present for her during this transitional time, to make sure things were just so, was my calling.  A calling that can be shared to help others find peace at the end of their own journey.

My name is Kristin McAdams, and I was certified as an End-of-Life Doula by Doulagivers Institute.  I live in Cleveland, Ohio and serve the surrounding suburbs located in Cuyahoga, Lorain and Medina counties.

Diana Shaffer

Our father wanted to be at home for his end-of-life journey.  My siblings and I struggled with our obligations.  Our mother was in poor health as well.  I remember the helpless feeling.  I believe it is what sparked my calling to be a death doula.

My name is Diana Shaffer.  I have started my business named Cypress Journey, LLC to bridge the gap between hospice care gently guiding the client and their family for a peaceful, planned end of life experience.

I am a registered nurse and, a certified End of Life Doula through Death Doula School. Death is another phase of life, it doesn't have to be scary and stressful. I look forward to serving areas in Cuyahoga and Lorain counties. I have an interest in serving veterans.

I would be honored to be with you and your loved ones during this sacred time.
