LiElla Kelly, End-of-Life Practitioner

LiElla Kelly is an End-of-Life Doula and After-Death Care Educator based in Helena, Montana. She has worked in the Helena community for 23 years as a Massage Therapist. She also volunteers with the St. Peter's Health NODA (No One Dies Alone) program.  LiElla's fascination with death customs began during her early years when she visited a cemetery with her great-grandfather. Since then, she has been captivated by this topic.  

Through personal experiences attending the deaths and funerals of loved ones, LiElla recognized a void in the support system, particularly during those overwhelming moments when uncertainty prevails. She firmly believes that both practical and emotional support are crucial for the dying and their families as they navigate the work that death entails.  It was this unmet need that ultimately guided LiElla towards her role as an End-of-Life Doula.

LiElla's expertise and dedication have earned her national recognition as a NEDA Proficient End-of-Life Doula and After-Death Care Educator.

Leaving Well promotes death education, End-of-Life Organization and autonomy in deathcare choices while empowering individuals to make end of life decisions that align with their own personal values.
