What is a Death Doula?
What does dying well mean?
How do I let go?
If I'm healthy, why do I need to think about death?

A Death Doula offers services to engage with all of these questions.  Find out about the services I offer and what that may have to do with improving your quality of life.

I will elaborate on the services I offer for people who are well and the services applicable for those who are at the end of their life.

Living and Dying Well 1:  A workshop to explore living fully

Date:  TBA, 3hr- workshop
Location:  Barrhaven, ON

The art of living and the art of dying are closely connected. In this workshop, we consider and envision the possibility and wisdom of “dying well” and how the “little deaths” in life prepare us for that journey of passing. We discover and start engaging with our own perceptions of death, dying and living fully. Through personal sharing and cross-cultural comparisons, we look at how facing our mortality can result in our living more fully. If you are interested in exploring and expanding your knowledge of the cycle of birth, death and rebirth, if you wish to face your fears about death, if you are involved or working in some way with dying individuals or if you wish to use this workshop to foster your personal growth, this inspiring workshop will give a new perspective on your life.

Testimonials from the Living and Dying Well 1 workshop: A workshop to explore living fully

"If you seek to journey a pathway toward spiritual grounding, Debbie can help guide and light your way." – J. Shipley

“I attended your workshop on « Living Well, Dying Well ». I had always been very scared of dying and of all things surrounding death. By facing my fears at your workshop and acquiring a better understanding of the dying process, I can now feel how much death – the big and the small ones – makes life more whole and valuable. I was impressed with the level of skills, knowledge and empathy you displayed, and the touch of humour you brought was also very welcome! When it is time for me to die, it would be a real joy, comfort and relief to know there is someone like you at my side…” – A. Revenu

“Debbie’s workshop was informative, interesting and fun.  It made me think about things in new ways and challenged me in positive ways. Debbie is a wealth of information, knowledge and wisdom and is also a warm, sensitive and dynamic facilitator.” – S. Hopkins

“You were able to put me at ease right away, I never felt threatened or scared by the topic or examples.” – M.  Chamberland
