“I’m here for you.”
Are you looking for relief right now as you navigate the end of life with someone you love? Do you need real help to know what to do when it’s obvious treatments are no longer working yet no one is saying it?
And people working within the medical system–there are some of you who are driven to bring compassionate and truthful end-of-life care to the people you serve. And it used to be that the only way anyone could learn this level of skill, 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, serving families privately as a Palliative Advocate since 2005, training advocates since 2010 and developing doula programs within hospice since 2015. I got you!Take a look around and should you decide to study with us, please enjoy your learning as you decide your next steps on your journey of end-of-life advocacy. 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.
