Alix Davis was born and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was, in large part, her experiences living along the Foothills of Boulder, Colorado throughout her twenties that shaped her and drew her into the beginnings of doula work. She moved back to Ann Arbor to continue her experiential training as a death doula in 2015. After some time, Alix completed her EOL Doula training through The Dying Year (based in Ann Arbor) in 2021 and went on to expand her repertoire and complete her Grief Doula Specialist certification through the International Doula Life Movement in 2022. Alix recently furthered her grief work education through the Institute for the Study of Birth, Breath, and Death with the ‘Holding Space’ course, designed to assist practitioners in growing their ability to compassionately listen to and work with those experiencing loss and other traumatic events.

During the time Alix was completing her End of Life Doula certification through The Dying Year in Ann Arbor (2021), she also spent over three years working in two nursing facilities in the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti area. There, she served the elderly—particularly individuals living with dementia—first in Life Enrichment, and later as a Resident Assistant. In 2023, she moved into a management role at a local home care company, working closely with individuals at the end of life and their families.

These layered professional experiences—alongside personal encounters with grief—have drawn Alix into a more focused path centered around grief support. In addition to her own experiential learning, she has engaged in ongoing grief-related training and plans to take the Shadow Work course offered by the Institute for the Study of Birth, Breath, and Death in August of this year.

While her primary offering is now one-on-one grief support, Alix continues to provide compassionate consultations and trusted referrals for End of Life care and Personal Assistance—honoring the connections formed through years of caregiving and community care.
