How We Help |

All of our program offerings at QLC are dedicated to ensuring that these issues are addressed. We focus on palliative care, companioning, compassionate presence, the essential tools of a doula, and the components of a heart-centered practice. This is the foundation our work.
We teach you how to work with people from any point in their process, from diagnosis through early bereavement. Our programs are multi-layered with the following core components woven into the comprehensive course material:

Training & Certification |
|
From Certification to personal mentoring, our comprehensive program offers expert and thorough training by one of the earliest pioneers in the end of life doula frontier.
The basic building block of our teaching is our signature course, “Accompanying the Dying: A Practical Guide and Awareness Training.” Our unique approach to handing down the wisdom of serving others through dying and death is done accomplished through a heart-centered and practical approach. What differentiates our program is that it was created by a hospice nurse of many years, who is also an end of life doula herself of many years. This is not theory. This is not education material from a social work or nurse university program. This is from years of experience with hundreds of families combined with years of expert training with leaders from all over the world. What also sets us apart is Deanna's involvement with your learning and her accessibility to you. You choose the level of engagement and mentoring relationship that you desire.
Regardless of your own expertise, Deanna has laid out a unique approach to not only exploring your own knowledge, experience with death and vision, but walks you through building an innovative end of life doula practice, if that is your desire. All are encouraged to begin with Our School Program.

"You’re such a teacher! |
“ I love how this course integrates the medical, the alternative, the compassion-based, the intuitive, and the spiritual sources. I have loved the readings…and the other resources. The case studies … have given me more 'experience,' even though it is not on-site. Of course, what is underscored is the uniqueness and preciousness of each individual. Everyone is distinct, but there are still general guidelines I can follow when being with/accompanying a patient and his/her caregiver(s). I love the thoroughness/rigor of the program.” |
