Suzanne Angèli

End-of-Life Doula | Certified Reiki Master | Ordained Interfaith Spiritual Minister

Suzanne Angèli is an End-of-Life Doula and dedicated to providing compassionate, heart-centered support to individuals and families as they navigate life's final chapter. After more than 30 years as a Registered Dental Hygienist, she brings exceptional clinical observation skills, calm presence, clear communication, and deep compassion to every family she serves.

Suzanne's calling to end-of-life care began while accompanying her father through his active dying process in 2012. Although she was not yet a trained doula, her experience as a Reiki Master and ordained minister allowed her to intuitively provide comfort, spiritual presence, and loving support during his transition. She has also supported families through the loss of beloved pets and is currently serving clients living with progressive illness by providing advance care planning, emotional and spiritual support, legacy work, education, and ongoing companionship for both individuals and their loved ones.

She completed her End-of-Life Doula training through the Blue Water Doula Collective and remains an active Core Member. Suzanne is also a member of the National End-of-Life Doula Alliance (NEDA) and earned the NEDA Proficiency Badge after receiving a scholarship to complete the national proficiency examination. In addition, she is a Certified Reiki Master and an Ordained Interfaith Spiritual Minister, allowing her to offer non-denominational spiritual support while honoring each person's beliefs, traditions, and values.

Suzanne believes every person deserves dignity, comfort, and compassionate presence throughout the end-of-life journey. Her approach is grounded in active listening, respect for autonomy, and creating a calm, supportive environment where individuals and families feel seen, heard, and cared for.
