My name is Cindy Kincaid(she/her) and I am an End of Life Doula,
trained through Douglas College, as well as a registered Social Worker.
I am privileged to be a guest in the beautiful Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and unceded territory
of the Mi'kmaq People.
As a Social Worker I have helped individuals and families with challenging situations and concerns.
I am comfortable with the challenging, taboo conversations, such as those about abuse, addictions,
sexuality and sexual dysfunction.
It seemed fitting to me to continue helping people have the challenging conversations in my "retirement work".
My goal is to help individuals and families feel empowered and in control of their end of life choices.
Culturally we fear even the conversations about death,
let alone the planning for this natural life event we will all experience.
It is an honour and privilege to share my experience and knowledge of our care systems with you and
your family/friends as you begin exploring your exit strategies for this new and uncertain journey.
I look forward to meeting you and learning how I can be of service.
Please see my contact page and connect with me to book a FREE consultation.
The Values of Exit Strategies - End of Life Care
Compassion
Each person is a unique individual with gifts and vulnerabilities.
You will be met wherever you are in your journey with kindness, curiosity and without judgement.
Humour
Laughter is an essential part of life, even when doing the serious work of planning for the end of life.
Honesty
I will hold space for challenging conversations and say what needs to be said with compassion and candor.
Continuous Learning
Every relationship is a learning opportunity. I will ask for feedback so I can do better.
Community
It takes a village!
I collaborate with other service providers to wrap circles of support around the people I work with.
I give back to the community that nurtures us all.
Death is Normal
It’s important to remember this value as we age (and come closer to our own deaths) and
as we accompany our loved ones through their end of life.
There is freedom in embracing our mortality.
