LiElla's Bio

LiElla Kelly is a nationally recognized NEDA Proficient End-of-Life Doula and After-Death Care Educator. She is the founder of Leaving Well, a groundbreaking business that serves individuals and families who seek to navigate end-of-life transitions with grace, dignity, and peace. Her clients are those who understand the importance of planning and who wish to approach death with openness and preparedness—those who believe that we can “do death” better.


LiElla brings a unique blend of compassionate care and practical expertise to her work. Her role is to ensure that the dying know their options, that their voice is heard, and that their loved ones can make the most of their final moments together. 


LiElla's process is all about preparation. To meet the needs of her clients, LiElla created End of Life Essentials™, a program designed to fill the gaps in end of life preparation and serve as a roadmap for families. 


LiElla stands beside her clients, whether preparing for end of life or actively dying, offering education, a steady hand and a compassionate heart. Together, they create a plan that honors the wishes of the individuals and their loved ones, ensuring a smoother, more meaningful transition. The result is a better death experience—one marked by clarity, comfort, and connection.
