At the Bedside: an intro to becoming an end-of-life doula (Dec 8)
What is an end-of-life doula?
Please join me for a three-hour workshop where I will share about the heart and philosophy of the doula, as well as the comfort they bring to someone who is dying, and someone who is preparing to say goodbye.
I will hand over my tools to help you choreograph the journey from diagnosis to death for someone who is dying.
In this class we will cover the following:
- What is a doula?
- Getting the conversation started with patient and family
- Signs and symptoms of death approaching
- Non-clinical ways to provide support, relief and comfort
- Honoring their wishes
- Self care
- Grief
This class will not certify you to become a doula but it will give you bedside tools, and I will provide you with references for doula programs that I highly respect.
Please note that payment is non-refundable, however if you need to cancel a class I will allow you to apply it to something else.
