Hi, I’m Emily Louise, an End of Life Companion for both people and pets.

Death is something that comes to all of us, but in which there is often little guidance on where to turn. As someone familiar with the processes needed, both emotional and official, I an help guide you and your family through your last journey with as much ease as possible.

As an autistic woman with personal experience of living with multiple chronic illnesses, mental and physical. I strive to provide practical support and quiet comfort to similar individuals during your last journey, providing assurance of empathetic understanding with your life experience. As one neurodivergent individual to another, you can be assured of understanding and safety from judgement as you journey towards death.

I am a certified End of Life Companion (having completed the EoL Doula UK Foundation Training Course, a registered Crossfields Institute Quality Mark qualification) and am currently undertaking the further Diploma Course. I am a Bereavement Volunteer at Wigan & Leigh Hospice in Hindley. Additionally, I hold a BA in Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic from the University of Cambridge, and an MA in Cultural Heritage from the University of York.

I also offer my services as a Pet Loss Doula, certified to provide Pet Loss Support by the Blue Cross, and with experience of having operated a Pet Bereavement Service for a number of years – providing both practical and bereavement support to over 200 pet owners. Pet loss is hard on anyone, but especially on those of us neurodivergent individuals who rely on our pets for our well being - be they official service animals or not. I strive to help make the experience of losing a pet, through illness or other circumstances, as easy as it can be for autistic individuals.
