You’re in the right place.
You’re looking at the two paths inside CareDoula®.
Now the question is:
Which one fits where you are right now?
2 Pathways
Each one meets you where you are, and moves you forward.
The End-of-Life Doula service path takes time. It cannot be rushed.
It is a path of depth and compounded effects so don’t waste time
thinking about it. If you want this, your time is now.

You know you have what it takes to support people at the end of life.
Most people discover this work after experiencing a devastating or beautiful end of life of someone they love. It’s usually one or the other.
Something that impacted them greatly.
And upon learning of the beautiful and powerful role of end-of-life doula, you just ‘know’ this is it for you. You want to advocate for others—you may not know exactly how yet, but there is no doubt in your mind you are made to serve.
Well you CAN and you can learn how to advocate for others in a way that makes sense for you.
You know where things change, fall apart and everything shifts. And you know that often no one is there to explain what’s happening or what’s needed next.
You have seen and felt where current systems (within families and healthcare) lack.
With the right guidance, structure, and support, you can begin this life transforming journey of deep study, personal boundary structure, and exploration of just how you might want to show up with your new found knowledge and skill.
It’s all right here.

Real Experiences from CareDoula® Students

“Nada Frasier was well known to her community as a Minister in her church and a hospice volunteer.
She knew she wanted to serve more deeply than she could in these capacities so we began working together. She crossed the very tender journey from volunteer to professional and is soaring in her work now serving and educating in her community.”
