Because deathcare is community care, and this community deserves a safe place to ask every question you've ever been afraid to ask. Come as you are. Curiosity welcome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff1050b96a9ec7fa13e3b39/e94f6efb-70c1-4ff3-95b0-e59b8ea719ed/How+Do+You+Doula.png Events & Education - Thursday 16 July | 7 - 8pm EST Online Excited for the opportunity to discuss how my deathcare has evolved in the past couple years - and honored to be alongside Neshia and Morgan!
