Deirdre Doula

My work as a doula is to accompany clients on their transition journey, whether in life or at end-of-life. Death and transitions have been powerful spiritual teachers in my own journey. My mission is to be help others based on what I've learned in my own experiences. My passions include re-framing negative thoughts and beliefs, working with deep feelings and energy, after-life science, and seeing signs of loved ones after they pass, but I meet clients where they are and support their belief systems. I was called to meditate in 2014 that initiated my introduction into Kundalini Yoga, which includes breathwork, chanting, and a spiritual practice to get in touch with the higher self. I see now how these elements ground me to be able to be present and hold space for clients. Reiki: Reiki is a relaxing, no or minimal touch practice that channels energy through the practitioner to the client. This can be helpful at any stage of life and especially at end-of-life if physical, emotional, or mental pain or discomfort is experienced. My sessions often include singing bowls. February 2022 ~ Completed Level 3/Master Reiki training INELDA End-of-Life Doula Certificate: In May 2022 Love Knows No Death - A Continuing Bonds Approach, After-life Science: We now have extensive scientific evidence and research supporting that our consciousness survives death. Mental health professionals are coming to realize that patients who believe that their deceased loved ones still survive do better than those who do not believe in survival. Dr. Calvi-Parisetti is among many scientists whose research concludes that "Knowledge and understanding can transform the fear of death and can heal the pain of a loss." Of course there is unavoidable pain with the physical loss of our loved one, but the pain associated ourself or a loved one ceasing to exist is avoidable. Love Knows No Death is a Grief Transformation Self-help Workbook and Visual Program developed by Dr. Calvi-Parisetti. The “afterlife perspective,” once integrated into the grieving process, will allow you to lead a better life and truly honor those who have passed before you. https://www.deirdredoula.com/afterlife-science https://www.deirdredoula.com/about-me https://www.deirdredoula.com

Through active, non-judgmental listening, validating feelings, asking questions, and offering varied perspectives and ideas, I work with clients to identify and work through (or make a plan for) their mental, emotional and physical needs. I believe success is when my client feels fully prepared and ready to transition to their next grand adventure. https://www.deirdredoula.com
