Guest Profile

Paula Adams

I am a Gulfport-based death doula who openly hosts Death Talks around the country. I have trained in many parts of the world; including Estonia, Mexico, Finland, and Croatia. I belong to the INELDA and also became certified in the USA. When covid hit my calling became the focus especially in this country. 

 

I have been published in several articles along with a feature ongoing story for Spectrum 9 News. 

 

I began my journey when I was in my 20's. I am a professional speaker both in person and remotely. I work to help people come to terms with death and dying on their terms. I'm a consultant about all things death. I also have a mission to reach out to the communities to help build a new way to come to terms with death. It takes a village. I'm also starting a project to teach kids and parents how to talk about death. Book in the works for kids. I will also be illustrating.

 

I offer advocacy, legacy projects, Death rituals, life plans, vigil sitting, organized material planning, medicine woman death walks. My gift is literally walking them to the veil. I also can feel people who are dying. When we touch or brush them slightly I get a vibration and then an image or word of the problem. 

 

I am working with dying with dignity in Fl, MAID. My take on suicide is not what one thinks. It's not being dead that scares us, it's getting dead that freaks us out. We all die, period. This country has us trying so hard to defeat death and cheat it that we don't realize how brilliant and cosmic death really is. 

 

I come from a medicine woman heritage my grams with a pagan mom. I was taught to embrace birth and embrace death; they are one and the same. Come find me and I'll explain it all.
