Amelia Torres-Young is a death doula, end-of-life educator, advanced care planning specialist, and death literacy advocate based in Macon. Her work centers around helping people navigate grief, aging, and end-of-life with more honesty, compassion, and support. Drawing from her background in Humanistic & Existential Psychology and her passion for supporting those impacted by dementia and Alzheimer’s, Amelia brings a warm, grounded, and deeply human approach to difficult conversations. She is deeply committed to making conversations around death, dying, and end-of-life planning feel less intimidating and more approachable for everyday people. Amelia wants to be the person families can turn to when the chaos of death or diagnosis hits and they don’t know what to do — someone who can help them feel less crazy, less afraid, validate what’s normal and what’s not, and ultimately feel more empowered as they navigate through it.
