Nicole Hoover

After a career in HR, Nicole felt a deep pull toward work that aligned more closely with her heart. Inspired by witnessing the challenges faced by those she loved at the end of life, and moved by an article on the Death Doula initiative she came across on social media, she knew she had found her calling.
Nicole pursed professional training and launched her own practice just outside of Akron, OH, offering personalized, heart-centered death doula services to clients both locally and virtually. Her mission is simple but profound: to bring comfort, dignity, and peace to life's final chapter.
Driven by her own experiences with end-of-life planning and a natural ability to navigate difficult conversations, Nicole is committed to helping individuals experience a more peaceful and intentional transition. She works closely with the dying and their families to guide them through both the emotional and logistical aspects of end-of-life planning - from educating on advance directives to legacy work - and continues to offer compassionate support after a loved one has passed.
