The End of Life Doula Alliance of Aotearoa New Zealand
ELDAA
An End of Life Doula, (EOLD) is a person of service, offering non-medical, holistic care, of those living with life-limiting illness, and their families. We accompany, educate, empower, and advocate for them, as and when needed, in order for them to prepare well for their dying, death and beyond, in order to live their best life, right up to the end.
Our Mission
ELDAA will provide a membership association which recognises end-of-life Doulas as a professional entity, and will be a central point of contact for individuals seeking end of life doula support in NZ.
We will set the standards for NZ end of life doula practice and will support and advocate for these professionals.
We will represent and promote end of life doulas to the public, healthcare professionals, and the media.
