Jacqui commenced her business, End of Life Transitions in August 2018 after experiencing the unexpected and expected deaths of 6 beautiful people in her life over an 18-month period. And seeing the value of the End of Life Doula role. As an End of Life Doula, with a past Registered Nursing background, Jacqui recognises that for the person who is dying, there is a genuine need to provide social, practical, spiritual & emotional support which allows an avenue for expressing 'what is most important' to that person; what are their priorities, their values and what choices do they wish to make during the transitions that occur at the end of life. And for the dying person's loved ones, Jacqui's calming presence ensures that they feel that they are 'not walking this journey alone'. Jacqui is also passionate about building Compassionate Communities and facilitates regular end-of-life workshops (in-person, online, local, national and international) along with community engagement guest speaking. As one of Australia's most active End of Life Doulas and Death Cafe facilitators, Jacqui enables opportunities for individuals and communities to build their death literacy by normalising death, dying, grief and loss. Additionally, Jacqui is an experienced Funeral and Memorial Celebrant, working with individuals in life, to craft living wakes or their funeral/memorial ceremonies and then officiate the ceremony after that person dies; or she works alongside families to guide and help co-craft a funeral or memorial ceremony that honours the essence of the person who has died.
