Hi, I’m Treza Gallogly, founder of Swansong. I offer End-of-Life Doula services, and bring to the role experience as a mother, nurse, business owner, and volunteer. The move into this compassionate calling has come about as a result of my wish to make an important difference to those who are on their final journey, and their loved ones. I have trained with Mercy Hospice and Preparing the Way.
My passion is to support those who wish to die at home. And supporting families of young children who have terminal illness.
If you don’t know where to start, reach out and we can talk about what your needs are, and how I can best help.
Testimonials
“Treza made an exquisite connection with *** that allowed her to not only offer pragmatic, practical care and advocacy during a time of high emotion and turmoil, but compassionately and lovingly walk beside her on her final journey.
I saw that Treza listened deeply and responded thoughtfully. Fear and sorrow, joy and peace, wants and needs were all acknowledged and celebrated as being worthy life experiences. Through her deep reflective listening and advocacy, Treza supported *** to understand and make the decisions that were required regarding her initial medical care, her palliative care and eventually, her end of life wishes.
Never intrusive, Treza joined with family and friends in enveloping *** with love and support in her final days and hours. Treza’s natural warmth, her nursing and advocacy expertise, her ability to liaise with the medical staff about ***’s evolving condition and her intuitive wisdom and practical implementation regarding ***’s needs, particularly when they could no longer be voiced, clearly eased ***’s body and mind. “You’ve always got my back” was one final acknowledgement from *** herself. It speaks to how safe she felt with Treza at her side.”
