Medical Support Advocacy, Advance Care Planning, and End-of-Life Support

Serving Central Vancouver Island in person

As a dedicated medical advocate and End-of-Life Doula, Judy serves Vancouver Island with over 25 years of experience in direct patient care (including 12 years in palliative care), and in healthcare administration. Judy’s passion lies in guiding individuals and families through some of life's most challenging moments, with the goal to help them pre-plan to ensure smooth life transitions and feel supported, comforted, and respected.

Advance Care Planning Facilitator

Having a voice in decisions about healthcare treatments is important. There may come a time when, due to illness or injury, you are incapable of expressing your treatment wishes to health care providers. By planning in advance, you can be sure that your family and healthcare providers know your wishes and ensure that they are followed.

Healthcare Advocate

In today's challenging healthcare system, it is easy to get lost and overwhelmed. Communication is key to obtaining the information you need to make informed decisions. Having a knowledgeable advocate to guide you makes all the difference, and I would be happy to help you with this.

End of Life Support

When receiving a terminal illness diagnosis, fear of the unknown can be overwhelming. Support and guidance through all the complexities ensure that you and your family receive the best care and support. I have been down this road many times with friends and family and can help guide you through this difficult journey.

“I cannot express enough gratitude for Judy and the care, compassion, and wisdom she brought to her family during such a difficult time. Her presence was a source of comfort, providing not only practical guidance but also deep emotional support as we navigated my dad's end-of-life journey.”
