Judith Zaruches
Hi, I'm Judith. I'm an end-of-life doula and educator, and I'm a co-founder of the Metro Phoenix End-of-Life Professional Network.
​
I have been curious about death since I was a child treated at Mayo Clinic Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota. My professional career included work as a hospital social worker, studying with Elisabeth Kubler Ross, and working as director of volunteers at a hospice organization.
In 2023, after I supported several dear friends and their families during their final days, I trained to be an end-of-life doula. This education heightened my awareness of the taboos around death.
​
I came to the realization that a lack of understanding of this crucial experience can cause unnecessary suffering for ourselves and our loved ones.
​
I'm always happy to connect with and support people and families as they think about end-of-life planning. Please reach out to me at Judith@EOLResource.com
