Your go-to resource for when death or diagnosis enter the conversation.
How can we help?
Our Founder
Amelia Torres-Young is a death doula, end-of-life educator, advanced care planning specialist, and death literacy advocate based in Macon, GA. Her work centers around helping people navigate grief, aging, and end-of-life with more honesty, compassion, and support. Drawing from her background in Humanistic & Existential Psychology and her passion for supporting those impacted by dementia and Alzheimer’s, Amelia brings a warm, grounded, and deeply human approach to difficult conversations.
She is deeply committed to making conversations around death, dying, and end-of-life planning feel less intimidating and more approachable for everyday people. Amelia wants to be the person families can turn to when the chaos of death or diagnosis hits and they don’t know what to do — someone who can help them feel less crazy, less afraid, validate what’s normal and what’s not, and ultimately feel more empowered as they navigate through it.
What could have been a very uncomfortable conversation became one of the most profound experiences of my life. When you have everything about the end taken care of, you really feel much more peaceful about everything. It takes a very special person to be able to walk with you through how you want to close out your life -- and that's Amelia! Worth every single penny.​

We were put in touch with Amelia when my father got sick. I did not know what a death doula was before I met her - and now I can't imagine having gone through this without her! She helped give us give my dad the best chance at the best death, and I am forever grateful to her!
