“Anyone serving or drawn to service in end of life and after-death care will highly benefit from The Art of Death Midwifery Training. This program is fully heart-centered yet filled with practical and legal information to create a solid foundation for everyone to grow from. The exploration of personal, spiritual, and cultural beliefs while honoring all was profoundly moving and has affirmed my calling and commitment to this sacred work.”
