End-of-Life Doula Training

​​Being a Doula is an opportunity to assist others through any one of life’s many transitions.

About the Course

This course takes you on a journey of exploration. You will be given the space to look into and examine your thoughts and feelings around death and dying whist gaining the necessary and relevant information to assist those at the end of their life and/or their loved ones.

It’s important to understand the law in this space and to gain the confidence you need to help your client/s find their voices and plan their end of life, their way.

Our End-of-Life Doula Training (non-accredited) is entirely online. The training consists of 7 modules containing video content, articles, stories and resources.You will have 9 months to complete the course.

You will be assigned to a class and supported by dedicated educators to support you on your journey.

We also offer additional student support through our monthly ‘Let’s doula this’ virtual meet-up, where we offer all students a Q and A with WTTF mentors and the occasional guest speaker, as well as an opportunity for you to meet other Doulas on their journey.

​“Each person's grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed. That doesn't mean needing someone to try to lessen it or reframe it for them. The need is for someone to be fully present to the magnitude of their loss without trying to point out the silver lining.”

― David Kessler, Grief Expert

Our End-of-Life Doula Training takes you on a journey that allows you to integrate your personal story through self-exploration along with the skills you already bring. You will be able to confidently offer information, resources and compassionate support to individuals and families from a genuine place.

“Engaging the services of a professional EOL doula seemed like the most natural thing to do when my father unexpectedly died late last year. Having my doula support me through honouring my father’s death in the most dignified and intimate space was a truly cathartic and uplifting experience. The experience is a gift that enabled me to freely express my feelings and create a pathway to ensure my father’s memory will live in my heart forever”.
