Meet the Doula
After experiencing the loss of a partner in 2020, Kaitlyn Cox was inspired to dive into the deeply human work of learning about death and helping others navigate dying and grief. Kaitlyn started Legacy End of Life Care as a way to connect her experiences and passion for end of life care to real world service and help.
As a Doula, Kaitlyn is passionate about normalizing the concept of a “good death” and using tools like advanced planning, legacy projects, informed consent, and being a witness to help individuals create the conditions for a “good death”. Kaitlyn uses empathy, active listening skills, respect, and creativity to fulfill her clients wishes. Additionally, she is a caretaker, Certified Nursing Assistant, and has completed several death Doula training courses.
Outside of work, Kaitlyn is a Bay Area native residing in Oakland. She is a parent who enjoys roller skating, gardening, and soaking up life’s precious moments.
