I’m SO excited that you’re called to find out more about Certified CareDoula…

Here’s the story…

What I do is bring together a select group of high-achieving people (from healthcare and other backgrounds) and show them exactly how to channel their Highest Level work into an end-of-life doula service--to help people that really need us.

We make sure you are well versed in all end of life issues, the physiology, the art of serving the dying and their family and all the things you should know. AND, we will also help you figure out all your professional issues including your pricing and packaging too (and doulas easily make from $35 - $75 hour depending on what you are doing and where you live).

I teach you how to do this without having an email list, social media or facing online or offline shenanigans and without having to spend money on magazine or newspaper ads or going around having to talk to a multitude of organizations throughout town.

If you already HAVE this desire but don't know how to pull a private practice together and don't know how to go about finding people who need you--WE are going to change all that! We are most likely going to give you a raise as well. 

If you’re ready to jump all in and actually create something that will give your life meaning and serve others and be respected by your peers and earn what you deserve, that's what we do together!

I’m going to hand you my playbook on developing a structured service that you can count on (perfected over 20+ years that I’ve been teaching to  thousands of clients).

BE the end-of-life resource in your town, simply and with ease. Spend your time serving people and enjoying your life! NOT grinding for the profit of someone else while you make a low salary, work long hours with little time off. 

People need help and are so grateful for it. They want to bless us as we care for them. We all have our way of helping everyone-whether they can pay us or not. 

This heart based system works!

Subject: Welcome To The CareDoula® Independent Study

Doors Now Open!
Welcome to the CareDoula® Independent Study

You want to be there for people. This Independent Study shows you how.

It’s a guidance system for people like you who KNOW they have the gift of serving the dying and want help developing it with a training they can trust. Inside the program is a place where you have a step by step tried and true method to follow, where you are not second guessing your thoughts daily. 

It’s a program that leads you to focus on the essentials of serving the dying, the art of the practice and all of the issues involved from when treatments begin to stop working through early bereavement. And there is a thorough training as well on the ins and outs of building and running your private practice if that is what you want. It helps you ignore the assorted bells-and-whistles that pull your attention sideways when you should be going forward. You don’t need different or new, you just need what works.

Whether you are brand new to creating a practice or you’ve already taken your first steps, this is the place for you.

It’s a no nonsense, jam-packed, no-frills, distraction-free environment where DOING is prioritized above KNOWING. You already know you are good at this and that is not enough to get you off the ground unfortunately. AND the accumulation of knowledge plays no part when it comes to building a service. That means you need to take action to get the right stuff to build it. Period.

Winging it doesn't work with this service. It's too important.

More impact. More service. More relief of suffering. More focus. In just a few short weeks from now, when you are using the proprietary –and alarmingly simple– CareDoula® Methodology–you’ll exceed even your own expectations in feeling secure that you have all you need now to do this.

You see, there’s a huge problem with getting what you need out there.

Most training is basic, good but basic.

What is mostly offered are programs that are basic foundation principles of 'serving' the dying (which most of you already know). At the end of the day, what most people do not know is how to expertly structure and develop a safe, private practice.

So what so many people end up doing is piecemealing their professional development through a variety of sources. And they must also devour continuing education of the art of the practice however they can get it (usually through articles on the internet) unless they have access to end of life mentors.

Please understand me; I think a variety of trainings are useful. I’m in several. I’ve also run several. I’ve spent (and collected) thousands of dollars on (and from) trainings. 

But you must have these 2 things or you won't get anywhere:

  1. A proven development system to build a structure from tried and true methods based on many years experience actually providing the service. Otherwise you'll get stuck in indecision.
  2. An 'awareness protocol' complete with an array of practical tools to support and sharpen your greatest tool—YOU—as you are often in the midst of great suffering. Otherwise you'll burn out.

CareDoula® is a super-streamlined, super-economical system that fits INTO your regular work, that takes NO time out of your week (going to classes and meetings), and that truly keeps you focused on your service and business goals.

I’m SO excited that you’re called to find out more about Certified CareDoula…

 program, but you keep hearing things like “I can’t afford it” or “OMG sounds great BUT…” we’re going to turn those into EASY YESes from your Highest Level clients – while giving you a raise. If you’re ready to get the fees you know you deserve, we’ll make a NEW ultra-premium program that gets the EASY YESes that fill your bank account. I’m going to hand you my playbook on high-end selling (perfected over the 10+ years I’ve been teaching high-end, to thousands of clients), including THE most overlooked factor in selling your program, to get EASY YESes from clients who are ready to pay you 2x or sometimes even 3x as much as you’re trying to get for your programs now.

I'm Deanna Cochran.

I’m on a mission to equip the serious

end-of-life practitioner to build their service 

to reduce suffering at the end of life. 

I’m the author of "Accompanying the Dying," the creator of
Impactful Emails and the CareDoula® School of Accompanying
the Dying. I train and mentor end-of-life educators, practitioners,
doulas and healthcare professionals all over the world.

I’ve led workshops and seminars and spoken on the stage from
NYC to Maui. In 2015, I began testing the impact of the CareDoula® Methodology for 2 years with people studying independently. I was blown away by the results. On their own, without my LIVE
mentoring, they STILL received the transformation with my
direction via this delivery system. They got what they needed
because my system is that good and that thorough. 

So this is a personal invitation to you right now. This program is on
and off the market based on enrollment (I pace enrollment; I dont
jam pack people in for the $). I take customer service VERY seriously! 
 ... and right now, we are OPEN! 

 

I’ve custom built national end-of-life doula programs. 
And I’ve trained and mentored countless healthcare professionals and holistic practitioners and
 non-medical people to do one thing: create a private practice to serve the dying and reduce suffering at the end of life. 

But enough about me. Let’s talk about the CareDoula® Independent Study.

Because I want you to sign up today.

First off, it’s for the serious person who wants to bring relief of suffering, reduce fear and help
people get what they need at the end of life. It is for anyone who has the passion for this end no
matter where they serve or how. 

That means it doesn’t matter what niche you’re in or which industry you serve.

This WILL work for you.

 

What you DON’T get in the CareDoula® Independent Study

You don’t get superficial fluff or distractions or demands on your time.

🤍 NO arbitrary timelines.

🤍 NO frivolous information fillers.

🤍 NO Rearranging Your Schedule for Calls.

🤍 NO 3rd party hoops to jump.

🤍 NO difficult platforms to navigate.

You don’t get inundated with arbitrary checklists and made up rules that depersonalizes the unique service you are trying to create. Spend less time spinning your wheels and more time actually developing your safe structure. 

Set time for yourself, at your pace, your way.

It's a super-streamlined, super-economical system that fits INTO your life, that takes NO time out of your week (with meetings) and that truly keeps you focused on your service and business goals.

It's time to get out of your living room and into your community!

What Does CareDoula® Value? 

 
CareDoula® encompasses some of my most important life philosophies. 

If you share them, you’re probably in the right place.

 

Responsibility. The buck stops here. I AM the end of the line.

Results. I don't stop until EVERY single option is exhausted (which is rare). 

Joy. Get what you need personally & professionally to serve in joy. 

Simplicity & Focus. Keep the main thing the main thing.

This is a space for  A C T I O N.

You’ve got to come to the table, trust you belong at it and make a commitment when you join today. 

That commitment?

To not talk yourself out of being in the world the way you are envisioning right now (because of whatever made up reason is in your head).

Live your authentic life. Step by step, I encourage inspired imperfect action. If you think too long, you may find yourself asleep. NO!

Dream and Take Action!

Too long? Didn’t read? Read this:

Certification without deep training is worthless. Guidance is paramount and you get that with my weekly automated email guidance
and within the curriculum. Everything is housed in our online learning center which is easy to access with one click. If you’re the
kind of person who benefits from less talk and more action, and if you want ME, specifically, to guide you step by step, then
this CareDoula® Independent Study is for you.

The specifics – How It Works

When you join, you’ll get an email from me welcoming you...

...then I will guide you to complete the course through automated weekly emails to keep you on track. Work on them as your schedule allows--totally at your own pace. You won't have to figure anything out.

This easy delivery system will take you through the entire 'accompanying the dying' course material that will expand your current worldview and deepen the art of your service. 

Our entire education system is housed within a beautiful online learning center.

CareDoula® Professional Framework. Your service creation plan.

You cannot just have the skills, you need to build your service vehicle. So In addition the the end-life-doula coursework, this professional framework will guide you step by step to think through all of the stumbling blocks of creating your service.  These blocks are what keeps most people in their living rooms dreaming about this instead of out here doing it.

This can be done concurrently with your study or afterwards. Do what feels right.

BONUS: Business Quickstart™ for the End-of-Life Professional

I am testing out an idea that if I give you the farm, you will appreciate it and use every bit of it and serve at a higher level than you ever dreamed possible. 

Business Quickstart™ for the End-of-Life Professional is the next best thing to me personally mentoring you. It is loaded with what you need to build your business. Proprietary calculators for metrics and hours of video instruction (value $1297).

CareDoula® Independent Study Includes (for a limited time): Email Guidance Series, Full End-of-Life Doula Curriculum & Certification, Step by Step Service Creation Framework, Personal Care of the Doula, Proprietary Tools for Your Business Metrics. PLUS the Bonus: Business Quickstart™ for the End-of-Life Professional...and so much more...

This works like magic for a number of reasons:

  • You’ve made an investment in yourself, so you’ve got skin in the game.
  • You have every single thing a professional doula needs: curriculum, continuing education, personal self care and professional development.
  • You have proprietary practical tools to help you with your metrics of running a business (i.e. session rate calculator, cost of doing business calculator)...
  • You’re making a series of micro-commitments to take inspired imperfect action. This will build crazy momentum! 
  • You don't have to figure out what to study when ... you receive an email every week telling you what to do. Just store them and pull the next one down when you are ready.
  • Upon completion, you will have satisfied the requirements for Certified CareDoula®, the premier End-of-Life Doula Certification Program in the US (2010).
  • You will have a permanent and immediately-accessible ever expanding library that is updated regularly for life. 
  • (If you are fiercely independent and have a busy life and already know alot and are uninspired to show up to group classes, this is perfect).

From today on you’ll have the  structure you need. And your confidence will blossom. You’ll breathe a huge sigh of relief (I actually hear this myself when talking with people) because you are no longer spinning aimlessly. Just set aside some time for yourself, like you would for an important date, and invest the time for you to make this happen. And it will!

I take your growth very seriously. If you are looking for something to create your service that is not in our full online learning center, then write me and I will make sure you get it if its appropriate for a private practice (I do not help people do contracts with orgs or build collectives--private practices only).

If this is for you, you probably already know by now.

​ "I was uncertain if I was able to take on such a task. Your class gave me the tools I needed to serve the dying, and the confidence to be able to serve. Starting a business is a bit scary but I am now confident I can succeed. Working with you has been a pure joy! It has truly changed my life." 
~ Burneace D. 

So how much does it cost?

"The CareDoula® Independent Study is worth fourteen thousand dollars. Right??"

That's the average tuition of beauty school today, and we are needed as much or more than them can we agree? I grew up in a beauty shop (my dad was a hairdresser) so I know that business too. And btw, they ALSO have no guarantees of income either! But I’m not going to charge you that much. That would be ridiculous. 

Well, what if you were going to buy into a personal companion company franchise with the blueprint and marketing (without the consulting), that would be at the very least $10,000. And that does not guarantee your success either.

As of now, over a hundred people have paid me $997 for just the pdf alone of my course. They got no portal, no business direction, no professional development, no hours of videos and audios, no extras, no email guidance, nothing else extra! They were sent a link, paid $997, and downloaded the pdf of my program...(and loved it!) 

At this point in time, the investment for our Independent Study is only $1,800.00. That’s $1,800 (not a typo: one thousand and eight hundred dollars) for the full program with End-of-Life Doula Certification, personal and professional development, unlimited access, continuously updated lifetime resource.  

And for my Action Takers: I am doing some new testing. You will also receive my Business QuickStart for the End-of-Life Professional! (Yes, I know I way overdeliver). To clarify, right now you can have CareDoula® Independent Study AND Business QuickStart for $1800.00. This will not last long as the Independent Study alone is way underpriced as it is.  

And! We will add our CareDoula® Way (year long membership program and monthly LIVE session with Deanna and her team as well! $497 value).

Tuition: $1800 USD (save over $2000!):

  • Certified CareDoula® Independent Study
  • Business QuickStart for End-of-Life Professionals
  • The CareDoula® Way
(Right: my dad at a professional hair show in the early1970s.)

"Why only $1800 for my 25 years worth of end-of-life professional experience, within and outside of mainstream healthcare?"

Well, I’m glad you asked: it often serves as an entry-point for people like you who need MORE in-depth coaching with me but want to “try before you buy." So in that respect it allows you to “dip your toe in the water.”

But for others, it’s simply all they need. Information is freely available everywhere. But guidance from an experienced practitioner is always worth paying for (AI will never be able to duplicate this). So I want to make it as fair – and realistic – as possible. 

You need to know I will never try to upsell you either. If you want personal mentoring with me, just ask.

There are no refunds after 7 days. No Exceptions for Any Special Circumstances. You get a full 7 day trial! The value proposition is straightforward and I'm still giving you plenty of time to make sure you are happy. If you request to withdraw from the program within 7 days, we refund all of your tuition except for our $300 administrative fee. 

So get started today.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Biggest Question Most People Ask:
What Can an End-of-Life Doula Earn?

 

Most End-of-Life Doula make between $25-$200 per hour, and most falling between $45 - $75/hour within that. The next biggest range is between 75 - 125/hour and the 3rd biggest range is from 25 - 45/hour.

Keeping our example very conservative, if you had only a 3-hour session at $45/hour ($135 session), you would see a return on your investment with only 10 sessions!

College tuition can be thousands of dollars with little hope of a job let alone satisfying your desire to reduce suffering and change the face of dying.

Yes, this is a wise investment when you select Certified CareDoula® for your personal and professional goals.

"I have felt the ability and strength to do this work most of my adult life but now, after taking this beautifully designed course, I know I was made to do it. I’ve had the tools the whole time, but your experience and direction has offered a structure to put all the technical details in order. I’ve mentioned before that I am not a technical person so this course has helped me tremendously. I feel I have a foundation to build upon now rather than standing in a murky pond knowing what I need lies beneath the surface but not able to see it. It’s so much clearer now. It gives me great comfort knowing I have the section material and my responses at my finger tips for reference to easily and often refresh myself."
- Sara W. 
"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." 
- Lee F. W. 
"I think your authenticity and transparency is invaluable as a leader. You are so available to us “students” whenever we need you and that says oodles about YOU. You are truly here on earth to serve. I can feel you and I see you.  Working with you has helped me to align myself with that feels right to me in this work. You confirmed in me what my passions and gifts are. Getting validation from someone with your knowledge and experience in this field has changed me forever. I truly mean that. I didn’t know being a “Death Doula” was even a thing. I now know 100% what my purpose is. Thank you for all of your time and the energy you put into this program. You are changing lives."
- Tiffany Anne R.
“This time with you has really helped me appreciate where I am as a Doula…Time to make a new vision board to reflect my growing income and client base.  I’m on fire because you lit it.  I feel empowered, inspired, and ready to go!! Thank you, thank you!…Deanna, you are a creator, business developer, master-minder, saleswoman, coach, trainer, Doula, mentor, manifestor and more! Super talented!...”
- Esther M.
"I was uncertain if I was able to take on such a task. Your class gave me the tools I needed to serve the dying, and the confidence to be able to serve. Starting a business is a bit scary but I am now confident I can succeed. Working with you has been a pure joy! It has truly changed my life."
- Burneace D. 
"My life is so naturally flowing and completely full right now. Thank you for your guidance through this new birth of my path.  The most important part of your course for me has been the self care part. If I hadn't done that work, I would be spreading myself quite thin now. I am a recovering 'Yes' person, and although sometimes I feel like I should be helping more people, I feel really good and energized when I wake up in the morning."
- Janet M. 
"All I knew before I began Deanna's programs was that I felt an intense yearning to be of service at the end of life. I had very little experience in this realm and wasn't even clear what this work looked like. Deanna saw my earnest desire and welcomed me into what has become deep and meaningful work. Being mentored by Deanna has been a life-changing gift! I watched my skills and intuition in this work, grow, deepen and flower. Serving my community as a death doula and grief coach I see how those of us working at the threshold are shaping our collective experiences with death and grief. Deanna is a fierce and loving warrior in this cause and I am honored to be with her on the path."
- Simon F.
"I recently retained Deanna to provide some professional guidance for me regarding my thoughts on moving forward toward developing my own business. I have a broad background, but lack the many varied seemingly qualifying letters such as RN, PhD, LLC, etc. I trust Deanna and was immediately heartened when she said 'Sarah, no more qualification is needed. Your credentials and experience are enough!' Within our hour together, she helped me to narrow down and focus on the viable business paths I have to pick from, but which I was unable to see and arrive at on my own. I highly recommend anyone who is in need of professional guidance to retain Deanna. My money and time was wisely invested in Deanna and I will continue to work with her as I further develop my business and services."
- Sarah L.
"I like the teleconferences and stories from personal experience, all the well researched reading material, and Deanna's coaching and 'pep talks'. I think the Accompanying the Dying course is very well organized...and even though it's a LOT reading, at least I have all the links at hand when I want to go back and reread them later. Some I've only been able to skim thru now, with the intention of going back over them. It's a much wider body of info than I first imagined. And there's so much to think about. This course has certainly raised my awareness...and I thought I already knew a lot! Thanks to visionaries like yourself, I think our culture is finally dealing increasingly better with the many death and dying concerns."
- Kathryn W.
