Lara Acemyan
Founder, Florida AngelCare
Welcome to Florida AngelCare, where compassion meets connection in the sacred journey of life’s transitions. Founded by Lara Acemyan, our mission is inspired by a profound calling to address the unmet needs of aging adults and individuals facing terminal illness — especially those lacking regular support.
Supporting families throughout Palm Beach County, including Lake Worth, Wellington, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and surrounding South Florida communities — Lara offers guidance to those caring for loved ones locally or from afar.
The final stages of life can be a profound and delicate experience for both individuals and their families. Lara is here to provide spiritual support, advocacy, and deep connection, ensuring that every moment is filled with compassion, clarity, and a sense of peace.
Lara's Mission: To create a nurturing environment where families and their loved ones in Palm Beach County and virtually around the world can find solace, connection, and compassionate end-of-life support during life’s final chapter.
Through her experience volunteering in hospice care, Lara saw firsthand the gaps that can exist for individuals navigating the final stages of life. While hospice teams provide essential medical and spiritual care, their time is often limited as they support many families at once. As a result, many patients and loved ones quietly long for extended presence, reassurance, and compassionate connection during this tender time — something an end-of-life doula can help provide.
Lara’s calling to this work is also rooted in personal loss. Witnessing the unbearable pain that can arise when the natural dying process is not fully understood strengthened her commitment to helping families approach the end of life with greater clarity, peace, and support.
From this calling, Florida AngelCare was created — a response to the need for compassionate presence, advocacy, and spiritual support that extends beyond what medical care alone can provide. Lara’s work is devoted to ensuring that aging adults, the terminally ill, and their families are supported with dignity, understanding, and care.
Lara proudly serves as a board member of the Florida End-of-Life Doula Alliance (FEOLDA) and is a member of the National End-of-Life Doula Alliance (NEDA) and the Death Doula Collective, organizations dedicated to advancing compassionate end-of-life care.
At Florida AngelCare, support goes beyond presence. It is about bringing comfort, smiles, and meaningful connection to both individuals and their families during these delicate times. Through compassionate communication and heartfelt companionship, each person is met with love and understanding. Even when words or cognition may be limited, care is given in ways that transcend those barriers, creating moments of joy, peace, and profound presence.
In times of change, it is just as important to be heard as it is to be remembered. Advocacy offers gentle support in communication between your loved one, the family, and care providers, helping ensure that wishes and concerns are understood and respected, without offering medical advice.
Alongside this, legacy work creates space to reflect on the journey of a life through letters, stories, or simple moments of sharing that become treasured keepsakes. Together, these practices bring peace of mind in the present while leaving behind a gift of meaning for generations to come.
Lara offers heartfelt presence and practical support when families cannot always be there. This includes hospital or rehabilitation visits, bringing along personal items, sharing conversation, or simply creating a sense of comfort and connection.
Support is also offered when a loved one begins talking about dying, providing a calm and compassionate presence during those tender moments. Beyond companionship, attention is given to the small details that matter most, ensuring each person feels cared for and never alone. Families gain peace of mind knowing their loved one is supported with warmth and dignity in their absence.
Reiki Healing Sessions Experience the soothing and healing energy of Reiki. Lara offers certified Reiki sessions designed to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.
Sacred Oil Anointing
Sacred oils such as frankincense, myrrh, and fragonia have long been used in rituals of healing, blessing, and transition throughout centuries. Applied with intention, they support peaceful passages, soothe the heart, and honor the sacredness of the body. Different oils may be offered at different stages of end of life whether to bring calm, ease fear, open the heart, or support the transition itself.
Advance care planning empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their end-of-life care. As your end-of-life doula, Lara collaborates with you to articulate your values, goals, and preferences to address your personal, emotional, and spiritual wishes, in addition to medical treatment. Together, we create comprehensive legal documents that ensure your wishes are honored, providing peace of mind for both you and your loved ones.
Compassionate spiritual support is offered with comfort, guidance, and reassurance while honoring all faiths, beliefs, and personal perspectives — including those who do not follow a spiritual or religious path. Whether through prayer, meditation, quiet reflection, or simply being present, each approach is gently tailored to the unique needs of the individual and family.
