A Note From Deanna:

​​I believe that if you have the desire in your heart to make a difference in people's lives at the end of life and you have a good knowledge base, then you are ready to begin your journey. Each person you serve will be your greatest teacher. You will handle what unfolds within each situation as it comes, gaining confidence as you do so. It takes both knowing key pieces of information and doing the work to really feel that you are on the road with your practice. Stay always with love as your reason for serving. Stay with a curiosity and beginner's mind in every situation you find yourself in. You will do no harm if you are diligent in your own self-care, spiritual growth, and respect for others. If you remember to listen more than you talk, you will have the best chance to be a grounding presence. 

If you are still in, I'm here for you. I would rather do nothing else with my time than to be your guide. They call me the "doula's doula". I love that. It would be my honor to help you get to where you want to be.

The world is waking up to talking about dying, learning about dying, and how to care for each other through dying. This movement is spreading like wildfire. People from all over the globe are wanting to learn more about ‘being’ with others through dying and helping them. 
Article in 2015 by Alina Tugend: "...But everyone involved in the field agrees that interest both in hiring and training to be such a doula is growing as an aging population grapples with how to gain some control over this most uncontrollable stage of life..."
Article in 2017 by Bruce Horovitz: "...​The end-of-life doula movement is supported by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. “As long as they go through a training process, I think they can complement the work of the hospice team really well,” said John Mastrojohn III, the organization’s executive vice president. “The more people there to help a patient and family the better.”​​
Article in 2017 by"..."7 New Jobs That Are So ‘2017.' Death Doulas are one of the new 'jobs' listed here among other interesting positions. I never thought I'd see the day we'd be on a list like this.

"Death is deeply personal and is also a community event, not a medical event. Just being there for someone and holding this time period for them in a spacious way can open up a world of possibilities in creating emotional healing for the person who is dying or the family you are serving." Deanna

​You will have the same comprehensive course content as our private mentoring students: comprenhensive end of life information as well as a thorough personal exploration and 'how to' develop an end of life doula pracice​ ​- all in one! You may choose to complete the requirements for a Certificate of Completion if you would like to have acknowledgement of your studies. For those of you who want our CareDoula™ Professional EOL Doula Certificate, you must be in our Mentoring or Experiential Level of training. You may move into those levels within 6 months of registration into Fundamentals; we will apply your investment towards your tuition at that time. 

 What You Will Receive in Fundamentals

This is a resource for life. It is not just information, not just a journey of self-reflection, not just a practical guide for the time period, not just a “must have” to help you with someone with advanced illness before they come to hospice - it is ALL of this and more.
 
In this program, Deanna shares with you how she helps facilitate a peaceful transition. The other essential process in this guide is exploring your own relationship with death; self-awareness is central to this work, even if you are a family member caring for a loved one. It will make all the difference in handling a situation gently and with compassion. The questions and reflections throughout the program are thought provoking; our students often tell us how healing it is to work through them.
 
You will get so much out of this material. You do not need to be immediately serving anyone in a formal way to be able to fully utilize this program. This is for the individual who is seeking the knowledge and resources to be of service, but is not interested in the certificate that accompanies our other programs. You will still receive the same course as our Certificate Program students receive. You can use this as a resource for years to come and be able to be of service just by knowing more and having a deeper understanding of the end of life time period.


You will receive:
  • Instant Access to the material upon purchase (Danielle make sure its connected this way)
  • Lifetime access to our Fundamentals Student Online Center
  • Invitation to our supportive QLC Doula Family discussion group.
  • Option for personal mentoring through written feedback, specifically addressing your concerns, as you do the work required to be acknowledged with a Certificate of Completion ​                             ($195 additional investment)
  • Option to apply investment to our Mentoring or Experiential tracks (within 6 months)
