“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 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.

“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

CareDoula® Way Membership
It’s not just learning, it’s an experience. Learn the ways of accompanying the dying whether you are in the role of family, volunteer or professional.
There are many reasons why you would want to study on a deeper level about end of life care. It may be for your own family, or for a friend or to be better at your job. It could be to develop something unique as a small part time service. Usually when a person is passionate about this topic, they are using this education in all areas of their lives.
Deanna has spent the last 20 years leading in the end-of-life doula movement, curating safe community spaces within which to learn. Inside the membership, we have hours of video presentations, audio library, tools, downloads, with more material added monthly.
If you would like in-depth instruction from someone who knows about the ins and outs of accompanying the dying and a real look behind the scenes at what is going on and how to deal with it, the tools of the trade and rationale, you will want to learn with us.
The CareDoula® Way Membership includes everything below:

“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.”

“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
“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
