THE
DYING BODY
WORKSHOP
What Doulas Should Know About Diseases at the End of Life
1.5 Hour Class Recording + A Bonus Q&A | Instant Access | $99
We know that when we have knowledge, we can diminish the fear and mystery of death.
Each death is unique. Some are peaceful, others are more challenging to witness, and all are impacted greatly by the presence of diseases.
Whether you’re a death doula with intimate knowledge of the dying timeline, you’re preparing to support a loved one through their death, or you’re simply looking to understand more about end of life experiences and care, knowing the effects of disease on the dying body can help you honor the reality of death with compassion, understanding, and dignity.
This 1.5 hour, advanced workshop recording equips you with knowledge of the most common diseases Americans die from, their unique symptoms, and how to navigate and support them at the end of life (including how palliative care, hospice, and MAiD can help).
What we cover together:
01.
COMMON diseases
Explore the most common diseases a death doula client might have, including their associated life expectancy, physical changes, and symptoms.
02.
medical support
Learn the most common management strategies employed by medical teams for each disease at the end of life.
03.
natural support
Identify holistic strategies death doulas can utilize to ease discomfort and support a gentler transition for clients navigating various diseases.
04.

Advance Your Knowledge. Dimish Fear.
This is a 1.5 hour, advanced, workshop recording for death doulas and anyone else wanting to learn more about the effects of disease on the dying body. While this class does cover medical management at the end of life, death doulaship itself is non-medical care and does not require any sort of medical background.
We hope it serves you deeply.

Our Teaching / Learning / Creating Style at La Mort
We leave behind the polished, gate-keepy approach to education. We teach in ways that carry story and experience. We listen. We laugh (a lot). We go off-script sometimes. We cry (with you)(for those you’ve loved)(for those we’ve loved). We like science and studies and logical frameworks, but also mysticism and poetry and all that stuff. We really love to honor history and those who came before. We move through some serious curricula, but don’t take anything too seriously. We dedicate ourselves to seeing you, and want you to feel seen. We deeply honor our intuition and yours. We lead with integrity (always). And we welcome the odd-balls and misfits, because it takes one to know one.
