Learn From Our Guest Teachers
“I realized that the topic I had once avoided—only to become somewhat obsessed with it later in life—was now the most important conversation I needed to have with my family. We needed to talk about death. Over the last few months, we’ve been working with Sierra Campbell to turn the anxiety of “what will we do if” into a plan. Via video call, my husband and I meet with our sons and Sierra. Instead of the usual check in, we talk about checking out. Organization can be a balm in the midst of a chaotic time, and as I hear my family responding to Sierra’s questions, I realize that I am discovering a new tangent in the erotic equation.
Talking about death is talking about life—hopes, fears, uncertainty, imagination, legacy, connection, responsibility, love.”

What Is An Elder & End-Of-Life Doula?
An Elder & End-of-Life Doula, often referred to as a Death Doula, provides holistic, non-medical support to individuals and their families through the final stages of life and into bereavement. They may assist with advance care planning, coordinate family caregiving, and facilitate life reviews and vigil planning. Additionally, they offer spiritual, physical, and practical support, helping to navigate the complexities of dying and ensuring a dignified and personalized experience for all involved.
Who Should Enroll?
We welcome all, no previous experience necessary. This course aligns well for those who are healthcare professionals, caregivers, educators, healing arts practitioners, and volunteers to our course. It's perfect for legal experts, therapists, nurses, hospice workers, and anyone affected by death or loss who seeks to enrich their understanding of life and death, and to compassionately support those facing critical illness and death.

Deep gratitude for the generosity and grace of this course, the exceptional teachings and for the chance to feel the truth of Nurture both for myself as practitioner and how it can be offered out to others, especially by embracing our vulnerabilities and not denying them.
Thank you for such an enriching and life-death changing gift.

Nurture brought my family much needed moral support and practical wisdom on what to expect throughout the whole journey. We used Five Conversations framework and were better prepared as a family because of Nurture.
