“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.

In addition to our signature course, CareDoula® Bootcamp, we offer a growing library of bonus classes (added monthly) to teach you about the biggest topics (as well as the obscure) from the time period of ‘when-treatments-begin-to-stop-working’ to early bereavement.

There are so many issues to consider about end-of-life care; especially if you are the ‘go-to’ person in your circle of family and friends.

Submit your personal questions as move through the material. Deanna answers all questions via our members only podcast. New episodes released monthly. Really understand what is happening and what to do about it.

Audios added monthly. One of the things people love about Deanna is the way she explains the elements of the pre-hospice and the dying time period–her rationale and reasonings behind the things she suggests to do. Every single month she is bringing over hours of audio from 25+ years of teaching families, volunteers and professionals within healthcare and outside of it. We won’t stop until all of her timeless teachings are here (along with new material too)!

Throughout the year we will delight you with special guests and sessions!

Deanna is bringing over 20 years of timeless teachings, along with new lessons–all designed to keep you ahead of the curve.

Once a month, you have Deanna’s brain on tap. Get your questions answered and learn from others’ situations. Personal and professional issues addressed.

This family centered educational course provides extensive guidance to empower the caregiver during the time from when treatments begin to stop working through early bereavement.

Dive in to our 30 day, step-by-step workshop to develop the framework of your service.

Deanna has created 2 proprietary tools to help you figure out the financial aspects of providing professional services. One is our ‘Session Rate Calculator,’ which helps you develop your pricing and packages. The other is our ‘Cost of Doing Business Calculator,’ which helps you figure out exactly how much actual time, energy and money you are spending on your service. This is critical information to know.

Members receive significant discounts to selected events, courses and workshops.


End-of-Life Doula Training & Certification.




“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
