Becoming a Death Doula: A Gentle Introduction to End-of-Life

Description

Are you called to support others through life’s final transition — but unsure where to begin?

This gentle, beginner-friendly course offers a meaningful introduction to what it means to serve as a death doula. Whether you’re a caregiver, a seeker, or simply curious about this path, you’ll gain clarity, confidence, and a grounded understanding of how doulas provide presence and support at the end of life.

You don’t need medical training or a background in hospice. What you do need is a compassionate heart — and a desire to hold space for others in times of uncertainty, loss, and deep humanity.

What You’ll Learn in Under One Hour:

• The core role of an end-of-life doula — and what makes this support unique

• How doulas offer emotional, spiritual, and practical guidance

• Why this work is becoming more vital in today’s world

• Whether this path aligns with your values, experiences, and future goals
