“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 here. I’ve been a hospice nurse since 2000 and sharing all I can to help build a strong end-of-life doula presence since 2005.
Take a look around and see if you’d like to join me in one of my programs. Enjoy our free resources as you move along your journey. I want you to know the rationale for things and the behind-the-scenes reasons for why we do what we do.” 💕Deanna
“Working with you has helped me align with what feels right to me; validation from someone with your knowledge and experience in this field has changed me forever. I now know 100% what my purpose is.”

“I so appreciate the chance to learn with you. You’re such a teacher! I love that you speak from your own experience, that you welcome any and every question, that you somehow ‘hold space’ for where every person is at. And I love that you speak easily, from a deep place of integrity and that you allow your amusement free reign!” – Nancy
“…Deanna’s years of experience allows her to speak very clearly and easily about how to serve at the end-of-life and the types of things we need to work through to be good companions. She taught me a lot about reorienting myself as an instrument for the person I’m serving. I think it’s really brilliant how she’s able to do that.” – Dustin
“My knowledge base has grown so much! Deanna helps us to see what skillset we have already and how we can use that to create our own end-of-life service offer. I’m so grateful for her helping me focus and hone in my skills and not be afraid.” – Pamela
The Family Journey
When someone you love is seriously ill and treatments are not working or they are moving in to their dying time, there are usually more questions than answers. Our Family Journey will guide you every step of the way.
End-of-Life Doula Training & Certification.
If you want comprehensive and life-changing end-of-life doula education and certification, using a method time tested over decades, from one of the earliest pioneers of the field, you have come to the right place.
“Since 2005, I have been serving families myself as an end-of-life doula. It is unlike any other holistic business, so you cannot just generalize the art of it nor the business of it from any other service model. I’ll show you what took me years to discover as a service provider and as a mentor to trailblazers around the world. You don’t have to recreate the wheel.”
– Deanna
“Thank heavens for Deanna’s sessions and guidance—I certainly didn’t know it then, but all of it has prepared me for this moment of accompanying a dear mentor as he died. It prepared me to walk in that room, assess the situation and be totally 100% present with him.”
– Melissa
“You have put together a well thought out series of classes that is filled with both thought provoking material and also with information that enhances people’s personal growth. It isn’t often that happens.” – Dayle
“And this beautiful, sacred journey continues…honestly, it took a lot out of me to accomplish, but it was all sooo worth it. Thank You Deanna for being such an amazing teacher and mentor. Thank YOU and everyone who works alongside you keeping this heart and soul centered mission, not only going, but getting better and BETTER! 
” – América Martinez
“…Deanna is warm, she’s funny…she makes this very difficult subject matter understandable and teaches that we don’t walk into situations with a task list but intuitively and with humility—with our way to practicing humility.” – Andrea
