Damis Newman

End-of-Life Doula
Madison, Wisconsin, USA

About

I thrive on connection, blending the practical and magical. With a background in design, I bring a creative and empathetic approach to making experiences more intuitive, beautiful, and meaningful. I’ve organized radical gatherings, facilitated deep conversations, and supported people through major life transitions. I’m a lifelong student of the sacred, the cyclical, and the unseen.

Rooted deeply in Madison, Wisconsin, I draw inspiration from both the land and the community that surrounds me. As a death doula, I walk alongside individuals and their loved ones as they navigate the final chapter of life. Just as a birth doula supports the arrival of new life, I offer calm, comfort, and grounded guidance at life’s end.

My role is non-medical, deeply personal, and always tailored to the unique needs of those I serve. Whether it’s emotional support, spiritual reflection, practical planning, or simply sitting in silence—I do my best to show up with care and intention, honoring each journey as it unfolds. I have completed EOL doula trainings with the University of Vermont Medical School and The Deathwives.
