2020 Death Doula Program Trailer
This year, 2020, we were unable to hold the 4th Annual International Death Doula Training on Maui. We asked the scheduled teachers if they’d participate in a video conference program for all those who were registered to come to Maui for our training. Here is the 7-part program recorded over 7 days from April 23-29, 2020. A stand-alone program, it also is the first step in our certification program.
