Peter Wohlsen is an artist whose work explores time travel through traditional and digital media as well as performance. For fun, Peter runs, snowboards, and skateboards, often enhanced by listening to thoughtful podcasts and “middle-aged EDM.”
“I thought about how people could benefit from nonmedical support at the end of life as my mom’s circle of care came together during her death in the early 2000s. As I grew and my life continued, I forgot about the idea until a friend’s recent terminal illness brought it back. Inspired to look up ‘death doula,’ I discovered my idea was now real. Through INELDA, I learned the doula craft and began my practice as a hospice care volunteer.”
Peter coordinates volunteer services in hospice care at VNS Health, connecting volunteers with patients and caregivers across New York City. He trained with INELDA as an EOL doula in 2023. As an INELDA educator assistant, he ensures that virtual and in-personal trainings run smoothly, allowing educators to focus fully on teaching and fostering the growth of INELDA’s community of care.
