Who We Help

For the Person Who Knows They Are Meant For This

We all need continuing education, guidance from more experienced practitioners
ahead of us, and a community of colleagues when you are serving
others at the end of life. It is irresponsible to do this work any other way.

You’re such a teacher!

“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!”

Deanna’s years of experience allows her to speak very clearly…

“…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.”

My knowledge base has grown so much!

“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.”

“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.

“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.“

She makes this very difficult subject matter understandable…

“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
CareDoula® Graduate

…an amazing teacher and mentor.

“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
CareDoula® Graduate

…thought provoking material…

“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
CareDoula® Graduate

You can get a lot answered with ChatGPT but you can’t get nuanced guidance and specific direction to complicated situations. You need a guide who has extensive experience for that. Deanna has 25+ years serving families through one of life’s most vulnerable times. And you can trust the special guests she brings here as well.

We know that diving deep into a topic such as the end of life can be overwhelming, and frankly, painful sometimes–even if you are not currently going through a personal situation. CareDoula® Education is here and we have your back as you have theirs.

The end-of-life journey is more than just “facts” or “processes” information; it’s complicated and requires sensitivity, discernment and discussion.
