Overview of Death/End of Life Doula Specialist Program

If you’re ready to answer your calling and become an end-of-life doula, International Doula Life Movement’s Death/End-of-Life Doula Specialist Certification program is for you.

This self-paced, on-demand class will prepare you to assist individuals and families in achieving their “good death” – whatever that looks like for them.

Just like our in-person course offerings, the self-paced Death/End of Life Doula Specialist Certification program will walk you through what you need to know in order to become a doula from a practicing standpoint, as well as give you an introduction to running a business and getting your first clients. We also extend an invite to our self paced students and graduates the opportunity to join our live online Death/End of Life Doula Specialist Program, for any modules or jump in a live online class anytime.
