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.
At IDLM, we prioritize thorough learning and equipping our students with the necessary skills to become professional doulas in their respective communities. Our program caters to those who wish to assist their loved ones or pursue a career as a doula, and we provide support not only during the course but also after. As a part of our doula community, you will forge meaningful connections and receive the assistance you require to be a successful doula in your community.
At IDLM, becoming a specialist as a Death/end of life doula involves training in various areas such as companion doula, contemplative doula, life planning, and end-of-life doula.
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.
