About Me & My Care Philosophy

Hello, my name is Heidi Comalli and I own and operate The Warm Handoff. I'm a graduate of the University of Vermont Robert Larner College of Medicine's End of Life Doula Program.
For the last decade I've worked in the medical field in a variety of roles. I have a unique perspective of the healthcare system that enables me easily to work with healthcare providers, social services and the client to ensure clear communication and that needs are met.
My love for this work was born out of caring for my mother during her cancer diagnosis, treatment and death. I took over coordinating her schedule, arranging transportation, keeping her other healthcare providers up to date, attended appointments with her and more so that she could focus on herself. I created many systems during this time that made all of our lives easier.
Being able to serve others at such a trying time is an honor.
