Dr. Agapi Ermides
Dr. Agapi is a former anesthesiologist who transitioned into hospice care, driven by a long-standing interest in the mysteries of death and the compassionate care of the dying.
From 2009 to 2021, she practiced as an anesthesiologist in New York State before pursuing death doula training in 2019 to broaden her understanding of end-of-life care from a non-medical perspective. During the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, she began facilitating virtual Death Cafes, helping individuals process the traumatic impact of the global crisis.
In 2022, Dr. Agapi completed her training in Hospice and Palliative Medicine and worked full-time in hospice care until early 2024. Her current work involves a collaborative practice with Ketamine therapy providers, supporting all humans, including those at the end of life, through psychedelic-assisted therapy. A passionate advocate for end-of-life rights, she continues to lead conversations and provide services that emphasize the importance of a dignified death.
Dr. Agapi’s collaboration with Lindsey in the Divine Love Death Doula Training is a natural extension of her mission to expand consciousness and improve end-of-life care. Her deep clinical experience, combined with her spiritual and psychedelic therapy practices, offers students a comprehensive and compassionate approach to death doula work.
