I was fortunate to have come across the Mourning Doula Certification Program last spring after my husband read an article featuring Laura and her work in the New York Times. I emailed Laura and signed up for the 20 week Complete 6-in-1 Death Doula Training Graduate which began last May. I completed the qualifying exam in November 2015 and the follow up 6 week business course earlier this year.

The training was comprehensive and deeply engaging. I appreciated the “client centered” focus in the coursework and the thoroughness of the research and footwork required of the students. I’m so pleased with the education and guidance I’ve received from Laura and everyone involved with the Momdoulary program at Mourning Doula! I’m the sole proprietor at Soulmilk Healing Arts Studio based in Maine, USA and BC, Canada and am thrilled to offer quality Deathcare services as an addition to my Holistic Therapy practice. I highly recommend this training program. http://www.soulmilkhealingarts.com/

I’ve been a hospice nurse for over a decade and love everything about my work, especially my patients. However I often felt awkward dealing with some of the questions, and with their families especially when the patient is dying or had just died. I always felt I wanted to do more, should do more than my role allowed. The Momdoulary Modified 5-in-1 Death & Mourning Doula Training Program was the answer I was looking for. With clear guidelines, a practical, sane approach, and transparent standard of practice, it was a program I could respect, and I wasn’t disappointed. The quality of information and especially the ethics demonstrated by Laura and her team were deeply moving. I felt what I learned there meshed well with my current knowledge-base and it’s enhanced the support I can offer my patients and their families. It’s my hope that when I retire from nursing I can put additional components of my training to work, running a part-time death and mourning doula business. I highly recommend The Momdoulary trainings at MourningDoula.com, in fact one of my co-workers recently enrolled on my recommendation.
