Kylie Gangemi

I am a member of the new association Holistic End of Life and Death Care (HELD), as well as the Natural Death Advocacy Network (NDAN). I am also a member of the Newcastle Compassionate Community and Newcastle End of Life Transitions Network group. I also sing in the Newcastle Threshold Choir singing bedside to the dying and at funerals by request.

I have completed a Police Check, Working with Children Check, NDIS Worker Check, hold Public Liability and Indemnity Insurance, and have completed Orientation Modules to work with National Disability Insurance Scheme clients as well as Aged Care clients.

Prior to becoming an End of Life Doula, I worked in the Early Childhood Industry for over 30 years and was an advocate for inclusion. I have excellent communication and planning skills, experience in establishing and fostering relationships, an understanding of many cultures and their traditions, experience in supporting individuals with a disability, and an innate ability to connect with families and children to offer the intuitive care, support and reassurance needed to navigate end of life, grief and bereavement.

My own personal story of loss and grief brings a unique perspective and experience into the precious journey that life is. With a background as a Meditation Teacher, I am grounded, calm and approach life and death with grace. Love, connection, and spiritual insight combined with practical and compassionate care are my unique gifts that I bring to my work and clients.

I live in beautiful Lake Macquarie and am available to work across the Hunter and Central Coast regions and further afield on request. Support is available face to face, online and by phone.
