“Thanks for stopping by!”
Are you looking for a warm place to land as you learn all you need to know to navigate the time from when treatments begin to stop working through early bereavement?
It used to be that the only way anyone could learn this level of care, support and advocacy was through working at hospice. Now, whether you are a family member, friend, volunteer or professional, you can learn with me at CareDoula®. I’ve been a Hospice Nurse since 2000 and serving professionally as an End-of-Life Doula since 2005.Take a look around and enjoy your learning as you decide your next steps on your end-of-life doula journey. This is a serious endeavor and I want you to be sure footed; I want you to know the rationale for things and what’s really going on behind-the-scenes.

Friend & Family Guidance
“I walked both my mother and father, as well as several family members through their dying days. I understand how difficult it can be, especially when you don’t have a medical background. There are so many things to know to make it easier. I created a program for the caregiver to help you if you don’t have a hospice nurse for a daughter.”
The Art of Accompanying the Dying
We offer End-Of-Life Doula training and certification, in fact, Deanna’s training is the first End-Of-Life Doula Certificate Program in the US, created in 2010.
CareDoula® is a deep spiritual and personal journey, along with learning the skills you need. Also, we thoroughly explore rationale, knowing the current issues and how to access quality care.
And once you are grounded in all of this, many people are inspired to continue on. They are contemplating how they want to bring more meaning in their lives with their own unique end-of-life offering in their community—no matter how small.
We are needing more advocates and companions and guides to support the growing number of people who need help at the end of life. The hospices need help too! We are in a real bind with the aging of our population and the lessening of friends and family who can help. We are 7:1 nonpaid caregivers to person now, by 2030 it will be 4:1.
