About Priscilla Hankins
End-of-Life Doula

ACCOUNTABILITY, INTEGRITY and TRANSPARENCY
are the VALUES at my CORE

A woman stands outdoors in a forest with tall leafless trees, with sunlight shining through the branches, wearing a color-block sweater and standing with eyes closed, seemingly enjoying the sunlight.

My work is rooted in presence, curiosity, and a deep respect for complexity, both in people and in the experiences we move through.

I’m drawn to work that involves listening closely, staying steady in moments of uncertainty, and offering care without rushing people toward answers or outcomes. I approach this work with unconditional positive regard — offering care that is nonjudgmental, respectful, and grounded in trust in each person’s autonomy. I value care that is relational, consent-based, and attentive to what’s needed in the moment.

Over the years, my work has taken shape through caregiving, community-based roles, lived experience, and formal training in end-of-life care, yoga, and energy work. These experiences inform how I show up, without defining a single way of working or a fixed philosophy.

Alongside end-of-life doula work, I offer practices that can be accessed on their own or integrated when appropriate. My approach remains grounded in consent, care, and attention to what’s needed in the moment.

I remain committed to community care and outreach, and to ongoing learning that deepens how I show up in this work. My approach is informed by continued study, reflection, and spiritual practice, with an emphasis on accountability, presence, and care that honors dignity, relationship, and meaning.

Reach Out
The first time I ever felt truly grounded was with Priscilla. As someone who isn’t well-versed in metaphysical practices, I felt welcomed, accepted, and at ease. Her calm presence and gentle guidance created a sense of safety that allowed me to settle and trust
the process.
