End-of-Life Doula Training & Certificate Program 

With Deanna Cochran, RN

Certification is but ONE tool in a comprehensive toolbox. Relying solely on this credential alone will not make you a great doula. This mistake may give the doula false confidence and the family less than stellar care.

Learning in-depth material without guidance is meaningless, as we all know too well in every field we can name. We must be guided by an experienced pathfinder who knows the terrain or we have a high chance of still feeling inadequate and staying in our living rooms instead of out in the community where we want to be.

Winging it is NOT the solution to caring for others at the end of life. This work is too important for that.

Continued success in achieving your goals is NOT only about certification and head knowledge. If that's all you want, this program may not be for you.

Plus, if you want to also develop a part-time practice 'just in case' you decide to work in your community, you need way more than basic doula skills.

That's why I dive into ALL the critical to understand components inside my program.  

I've served at the bedside of the dying as a hospice nurse since 2000, worked as an end-of-life doula since 2005, trained doulas since 2010 and developed corporate end-of-life doula programs since 2015. I have spent 10s of 1000s of dollars on personal and business development. I can confidently tell you that there is NOTHING LIKE THIS out there. So, I created for you what I would have wanted when I began and along my journey.

WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS-

  • A Step by Step Comprehensive Deep Dive into the art and practice of accompanying the dying and my clinical and experiential reasoning around how to handle end-of-life issues for overall support for a person and their family during the dying time. The course is structured to be completed within 16 weeks; HOWEVER, this program is flexible and is meant for each person to pace themselves.
  • End-of-Life Doula Certification upon completion of requirements—4 Assessments, Essay, Course Evaluation (Practicum requirement waived in 2020,) 
  • Self-Reflective and Self-Care Journey of the Doula. Essential to any sincere study of accompanying the dying is an in-depth journey of our own experiences and views as well as what it takes to deeply nourish ourselves as we support others.

What People Are Saying:

I hit the jackpot when I choose you to learn from - this- what you’re offering me...it’s an absolute blessing!

Becky R.

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.

Your enthusiasm and heart-felt desire to help people at the EOL was evident and inspiring. You re-energized my desire and expanded my knowledge and confidence to journey with people at the EOL (those transitioning).
