Keta Cross, Certified End-of-life Doula Specialist

We are offering Soula Ambassador Training coming in May 2025!

Becoming an End-of-Life Doula:

Understand the Role: An end-of-life doula provides emotional, spiritual, and practical support to individuals and families during the dying process. This includes everything from legacy work and vigil planning to active bedside presence and grief support.

Develop Self-Awareness: Before supporting others, it’s essential to explore your own beliefs, experiences, and comfort level with death and dying. Personal reflection lays the foundation for compassionate and grounded care.

Begin Learning Core Competencies: Start familiarizing yourself with core doula skills—deep listening, nonjudgmental presence, communication with families and care teams, and knowledge of the dying process (physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects).
