Merging ancient wisdom & contemporary choices

We're living through a cultural shift around death and dying.

As we collectively move away from fear and outdated conventions, toward a more generative and equitable future, the need for compassionate guides is greater than ever. Death Doula 201 explores the role of a doula adjacent to the most common modern death experiences, so you're prepared to provide informed, compassionate, and truly well-rounded support to your clients. This is innovative training for our modern times.

I took another Death Doula training that was 3 days long and didn't walk away with any of the knowledge that you are offering! I am so grateful I found you!

KIND WORDS

This network landed in my life in the exact moment it was meant to! Thank you both so much for existing and for following your own passion so that we can build with and alongside you and everyone here!!!!

Lindsey Morris

The most valuable part is that I knew this was something I could do for a living. I realized I do NOT have to be embalmed. I can have a green funeral or life celebration. I also realized I am creative and death can be magical and not creepy. I love to talk about it. I respect anyone who feels uncomfortable about it.

Lisa Gallarini

The diverse perspectives, the new vocabulary...it is all making me a stronger and more informed advocate for the people that I care for. I am full of gratitude.Thank you for being who you are, for sharing your gifts, and for welcoming all in - even those of us with much to learn.
