Like a Birthing Doula brings a baby into the world in a warm and celebratory way, an End of Life Doula helps people transition out of the world in a warm and peaceful way.
An End of Life Doula guides and supports a person near the end of their life emotionally, spiritually, practically and physically. We are non-medical, we are not a health aide.
Dying is the second leading fear globally. When a person gets a terminal diagnosis, it's beyond devastating. Lives change, emotions are erratic and fear and anxiety set the tone.
This course will show you many of the tools an End of Life Doula brings in to the world of a person who will soon pass away.
In any situation in life, when you are equipped with knowledge and guidance, it helps the journey flow more smoothly, with calmness and ease.
With guidance and support you can feel confident in the road ahead, you can exude that feeling to all those around you.
Whether this is for you, a friend, family member or caregiver, thank you for your interest in "being the one" for the person who is about to cross over.
**If you are not the person travelling through to the end of life, please take note. If you are a friend, family member, caregiver or facility employee, completion of this course will certify you as an "END OF LIFE NAVIGATOR." Once completed, we will mail you your course certificate and the "End of Life Navigator" Official Logo to use on your website if desired.
Our lives are so short and the most important thing we can do for one another is to be there. To be present, be focused and help the experience be the best it can possibly be.
Thank you for being mindful and proactive in this end of life journey.

Susan is a native of Long Island in New York and lives with her two boys. It was through a series of 15 very close losses that led her down this personal journey and and her End of Life practice, East End Doula Care. It's important to connect and bond with the people you love now more than ever. It not only brings you closure but will help your family grieve in a much lighter and more peaceful way. Susan feels with a little mindfulness and pre-planning; our lives will come full circle exactly the way they should.
This milestone is the most sacred of all. Learn to navigate this time with ideas and tips that will pave your way to peace and closure. Implement tools and ideas that you need to bring in closure. Set in place a plan to strengthen and bond your relationships now, and for many years to come.

In order to Come Full Circle, it's imperative that we prepare and plan for the exact way we want it to go. It's hard for any one to accept a diagnosis especially with the grace and love that you deserve now. You need to embrace your story now and hopefully this course will light your way.
