Book Paula Adams for Remote Speaking
Short Bio
Paula Adams is a deathwalker, death literacy educator, MAID/VAD advocate, and founder of Destiny’s Door Death Retreat. She teaches the emotional, practical, and mythic realities of dying in America — and the sovereignty required to meet that threshold with clarity.
Her talks are blunt, compassionate, grounded, and deeply human. She speaks to caregivers, clinicians, doulas, students, and communities seeking truth without euphemism.
