End Of Life Training
Apprenticeship with DeathEnd of life practitioner training
You may have heard an End of Life Doula referred to as a Death Doula or a Death Midwife. These labels are interchangeable. End of Life Doulas work in a variety of ways, but generally, we are trained professionals that provide expert guidance with end of life planning at any stage of life and nonmedical support from initial diagnosis through after death care and bereavement. If you are interested in being trained as an End of Life Doula, you can find an upcoming training at the Center for Conscious Living Conscious Dying or by clicking this link to take you there www.consciouslivingconsciousdying.com
Apprenticeship with Death, the End of Life Practitioner training, will be available in late summer or early fall 2023.
