Hello! My name is Heidi and I am a doula in training. I have a lifelong interest in service and never shied away from the tender conversations that death and dying raises.
I work with flowers and herbs and study the cycle of life through my photography and curator of my patch of land.
Recently I’ve supported a lady and her family at the end of life and I feel she led the way in opening doors of possibility to living and dying her way.
In my training I learnt of how we can prepare practically, emotionally and spiritually for lifes greatest transition. I feel the tide is turning on how we deal with death and dying and am heartened to see and hear the changing attitudes and a move away from the medicalisation of death to a more holistic, person centred, palliative care approach.
In my work as a content creator I am starting conversations about illness, death and dying and learning incredible amounts as people share their own stories.
Recently I have completed dementia awareness training and bereavement journey counselling as well as an extra advance care planning course. (You can never be too prepared!)
