with Charon Collier
Exploring the death doula landscape.
Welcome. Come with me as I explore death doula and end-of-life doula work through stories from my own experience, thoughtful conversations with guests and a closer look at how the field is growing and evolving.
We will consider the questions, ideas, research and real-life experiences shaping this work and what they may mean for doulas, the people and families they support and the healthcare systems around them.
