Compassionate Care and Guidance
Liza Shapiro, Death Doula
Our Values
Elizabeth (Liza) Shapiro began her health and wellness journey as a massage therapist, specializing in geriatric care. Over the last decade, she formed deep connections with her clients and their families, offering both physical and emotional support, as they approached life’s final moments. Her extensive experience with death allowed her to guide and comfort families during an uncertain time.
When Liza’s step-father entered hospice, she was by his side, and her family’s side, until his peaceful passing at 96. This profound experience ignited a deep sense of purpose in her, leading to the decision to expand her work and train as a death doula. Liza now provides holistic support to individuals and families facing end-of-life transitions.
The mission of Liza Death Doula is to offer emotional, physical, and educational care, helping ease the journey towards death. Always just a phone call away, Liza is there to be a calming voice, an objective listener, and a steady resource. With compassion and dignity, she walks with clients and their families through life’s final steps, ensuring no one faces the end alone.
“Liz Shapiro has been one of my mother's care-providers for more than ten years. I live far from my mom, and am comforted knowing that my mom, ( who is very disabled), is listened to respectfully and handled gently by Liz. Liz’s massage-therapy is as integral to my mother’s wellness as medications and other interventions. Liz listens compassionately and intelligently to my concerns. I'm very glad Liz Shapiro is a part of my mother's health and wellness team.”
