Comfort Codas offers end-of-life doula care grounded in music therapy, providing compassionate presence, emotional support, and meaningful moments for individuals and their loved ones during life’s final chapter.
Led by a board-certified music therapist and end-of-life doula, care is centered on comfort, connection, and honoring each person’s unique story through music, gentle companionship, and ritual.
While end-of-life support is the heart of Comfort Codas, music therapy services are also available more broadly for individuals and families seeking comfort, emotional expression, and connection through music at other stages of life.

Client Reviews
"He was asked by his psychiatrist for one things that would make him happier. He replied, "Another hour each week of jamming with Claire."
"The music brought many good memories to my friend's mind and Claire provided plenty of space for this. I believe that Claire's sessons were a big reason that he found a way to lean into the disease process and let it take him where it would. He found peace, he was content. I believe that Claire made a significant contribution to getting him to that place of peace."
-Friend of a former client
"I saw in Claire the heart of someone who truly wants to help others carry a load that they can't manage on their own. This is something that comes naturally to her. She wants to make things better."
-Friend of a former client
"Claire has a general aura of calm about her at all times. This feeling is contagious and helps everyone in her presence. Clients and families feel a connection with her quickly. She is empathetic, creative in her approach and always puts the clients and their needs first. She truly embodies the concept of person-centered care."
-Former colleague and supervisor
"Claire and her music made an enormous impact on my mom's final days. She brought music and joy and laughter to our lives when things were getting really hard. She is inclusive, caring and so so gifted. My mom could not really speak towards the end, but when Claire walked in the room with her guitar my mom could sing. She played songs with my kids so the family could sing together. And she accompanied my dad so that he could serenade his love like he used to. I could not possibly put into words all Claire's goodness. She is an angel."
