MICHAEL DEAL
NEDA-Proficient End Of Life Doula
Michael completed end of life doula training with the Peaceful Presence Project. He is an active hospice volunteer and frequently visits Partners in Care Hospice House and the Lodge in Sisters with his therapy dog Chasqui.

Michael’s career has spanned the non-profit, business, and government sectors.
