After beginning my career in nursing, I subsequently moved to domiciliary care. I have supported clients with complex needs at end of life, sometimes in challenging situations, including working in a secure unit. I was very involved when my parents died. Both deaths could have been ‘better.’ By chance I found Living Well Dying Well (LWDW.) I was hooked from the start. ‘A Doula’ is someone to ‘fight your fight’ with you. Take a bit of strain, put the kettle on and halve any problems by sharing them. Knowledge and skills taught by LWDW can underpin a good death, simply changing the whole experience. Doulas are like living comfort blankets, we all need one. Fair weather sailing is my hobby. I make a competent crew. I can steady your course whilst standing your corner!
