Death Doula | Birth Doula | Denise Love

Welcome to the Doula world.  You are exploring something very precious and profound. 

The first breath and the last breath have held me captivated for many years. 

 

As a pioneer of the birth Doula Movement in Australia, and South East Asia I work as and train Birth Doulas and Death Doulas.

 

Our pets and how they fit into our lives is also fascinating to me.  Join me in exploring life

  

When we serve others a peacefulness and contentment feeling surrounds us.  

Life's journey becomes a little more doable as we unfold the realities, the dreams, wishes and possibilities in life.  I learn from my clients.

 

We offer emotional, spiritual, and practical assistance, helping to create a peaceful and meaningful transition from earth.  Death doulas can help facilitate conversations about end-of-life, provide comfort, and offer resources for both the dying person and their support team.

 

Their role is to honour the individual's journey and ensure that the end-of-life experience is as supportive and compassionate as possible.

 

Join the team of amazing people serving others

Whether you are planning to work with dying or grieving people or not, death will touch your life and it is so much better to have an understanding of the amazing feelings, thoughts and processes one goes through during this life changing event. Some of you may work as a Birth Doula and therefore will be working with the possibility that a baby may die. A woman may be birthing a baby who has already died (stillbirth) and the father of the child may need a safe (emotionally sound) person to talk with. Some of you may have had a parent, partner, sibling or child die. Maybe you have said goodbye to a special friend or grandparent. You might have been devastated by the loss of a pet. Death just interests you? You might find yourself supporting a woman or her partner through a miscarriage, or you just need or want to explore our thoughts and feelings about death in general. Could you have thought of or been around suicide. There are a huge number of reasons why people are attracted to this work… your interests are your own… I’m so delighted to be sharing my thoughts, feelings and experiences with you! This is major skill to develop for our own lives, to support families, children and friends, and to demystify the whole subject. You will then have the skills to help you live your life more consciously and meaningfully. This for men and women! . "Living until you die" is a way of life, and as a Death Doula, we encourage everybody to live each day deliberately and consciously. Be present and in the moment. You will be exposed to skills and tools to make live each day in a peaceful, exciting and harmonious way. Join us on a to live consciously and acknowledge death as a normal and everyday progression in life. Who will benefit from this training? - anyone who wishes to learn more about cultivating presence and personal awareness in death, dying and living well. - people facing a terminal illness. - friends and family caring for someone who is dying. - those who want to accompany some special in their lives through this process. - professionals working in hospices, hospitals, nursing homes who are seeking to expand their skills and effectiveness in assisting with death and dying. - healers and therapists who want to learn more. - hospice volunteers or those wishing to become volunteers. - those who want to prepare gracefully for their own journey through dying into death. Not so long ago people were born and died in their own homes, with family and friends providing care for them. These were community events with friends and neighbours gathering and supporting the families. This created a feeling of acceptance that dying is a natural transition in life. The dead person lay in their own home for the day, and people came and went. It was just part of life. Woman gathered and cooked and drank tea. Men sat and talked and usually drank alcohol, and told stories. For the last 100 years the care of our dead has gradually been turned over to businesses. A people have made a lot of money out of this. But the recent decades have seen resurgence in families providing end-of-life care to loved ones through home hospice care. As a natural extension of hospice more and more families are choosing to care for their loved one — before and after death – in their homes. This brings about a new set of challenges as we lack extended families, and older people to teach us how to do “it”. We are not well set up for this experience, and people are very uncomfortable with it. Death mostly still remains the enemy! Death Doulas or End-of-life Doulas offer a different service to care. Palliative care is offered by medical staff, but economics do not always allow the time needed to truly “be with someone”. Many people associate the term “doula” with a midwife, due to the growing doula movement which provides support and advocacy for expecting mothers, and new parents. We are always no medical. We support women and midwives in their important relationship during birth. Death doulas regard their work as equally important. Like doulas who help expecting mothers, death doulas may provide a range of services, tailoring their offerings to the needs of their clients. We are generally non-sectarian, although we are usually happy to read from religious texts or to incorporate ceremonies of a religious nature into the death process, for those who desire this. Many will stay to assist through the funeral, if requested to do so, and some do follow-up visits with family members in the weeks and months after the death to talk about the experience. A death doula usually works with someone who has 18 months or less in which to live. When a diagnosis this dire is given, a doctor usually provides referrals to a hospice agency for family members and the patient. People who are interested in working with a death doula can ask their doctors, or consult their local hospice agency; individuals who want to become death doulas can receive training through hospice groups. Part of a Death Doula’s role can be a home funeral guide. This does not duplicate the work of professionals such as nurses or funeral directors. We work alongside them and our skills are not medically oriented, they are more heart-oriented. We use the ancient and time-proven techniques of an open and compassionate heart, our hands, and our voices. This work can be done in any setting, whether in a hospital, nursing facility or a home. So how does this unfold? How do I get to be this person? We are offering an Online or Face to Face Training course, where you will begin to better understand the thoughts, feelings and beliefs around death of you and your community You will explore why you came to do this course, what the word Death means in your life, and how it impacts who you are. We will look at Fear and how that manifests in our lives We will listen to you and your stories about death You will begin to develop skills to help the people around you explore the word death You will better understand end of life choices that available to people Discussion about wills Discussion about funeral planning Develop a passion for living until you die Learn to support those around you to live today as if it was the last day of your life Develop a bucket list for yourself Enhance your life skills to be able to be “present with others” Strengthen your capacity to be empathetic Build strong boundaries with you caring for yourself Above all enhance your own life! In the training you will: - discuss the family dynamics that occur as someone dies - experience the practice of dying; visioning our own death before we die. - learn tools for creating a sacred space for transition, before and after death. - create your own guidebook to use with patients or for home funeral vigils. - look at funerals, and how to personalise, simplify and cost less. - practise the skills needed as a presenter an officiate or celebrant. The focus of my work is on the Journey, regardless of recovery from illness or death; one should be comfortable to do the work of their heart, of their spirit. Whether one recovers or not, peace and transformation is possible. Your Facilitators: Denise Love, Barb Ferguson and Ruth Boydell I started my professional life as a Registered Nurse, and very quickly discovered that it wasn’t the medicines I offered to people, but the kindness that support healing, or made death more tolerable. Following that discovery, I began midwifery training, and again had confirmed that “being with someone” had a much greater impact on wellbeing that most “treatments”. Through the 1990’s I set up an in home palliative care service where often one of the only “tools” I have for comfort and care was myself. I then reflected on my time working in remote Australia in the 1970’s, their traditional carers had just “been there”, and had allowed the transition into death as a simple process. They sat around shared stories, told tales, cried and offered simply comfort. They also understood withdrawal of food and water, and were not scared to let it happen….it was profound!! I then became a Doula - of service to people. With the understanding that I need to take responsibility for what happens in my lie, the words that come out of my mouth, and the reality that everybody has the right to live their life, their way, I set up a full time Doula Service for Birthing and Dying people, and facilitating learning around that. I have been with many, many people as their Death Doula. I have relieved mothers of dying children, so they could rest and have time to get their head around what was happening in their world, birthed beside woman whose babies died in utero, held hands for endless days of old people who are too scared to let go. I discussed heaven and hell to many people dying of cancer, worked out ways to avoid ever seeing a doctor, and avoid a post-mortem for people who do not use the traditional medical system. I have held babies as they die in the first few weeks of life, talked to them about what is happening, when parents just can’t do that. I currently work in remote areas of developing countries where we face death with no options very regularly. I talk with families about how best to let their elder families let go. I discuss with others how best to let their too little, or sick baby die, and the realities around that in emotional and comfort sense. with whole villages as a tragic accident occurs. Be with families when someone has suicided and they try and make sense of it! I “hold the space” as people come to their own realisations and offer solutions to their queries that might be suitable for them, but most of all just keep turning up….a hug, a smile and with no particular agenda to do anything.

As some of you may know, I have been delving in to End of Life Doula education, and have had the absolute pleasure of sharing space of amazing women such as Lola Rushartland and Denise Love.  I read this review of another's time with Denise and it is so accurately depicted that I had to share.  Denise and Gary's charity LifeOptions quietly generates funding from some who become aware of their charity - supporting the opening of 8 health centres, and setting up various sustainable living programs -  whilst they diligently work in their 70's, educating but also funding these programs and making an incredible difference!  

An apt description of this amazing woman, who has an incredible partner with the deepest support and love for one another on all levels

 

​​Aimee

Doing this course has definitely been one of the best decisions I have made this year. I feel so blessed to have found this wonderful community!

Denise is one busy lady. Not only is she a doula, a loving partner and an educator, she is also a nurse who works abroad to serve those who don't have access to many services and amenities. She told our group that the money raised from the death doula training will be going towards the purchase of suture thread to sew up Cambodian women who had torn during childbirth, as part of her LifeOptions charity that she set up with her partner. Her charity has helped to set up eight Health Centres and launched numerous community and sustainable living programs. With a joyful smile, Denise told us that now that they have put in a source of clean water, child deaths before the age of two have been greatly reduced from almost half down to 10 percent.

Not content to rest on her laurels there, Denise spends a lot of time writing and furthering the public`s education about the beneficial role that death doula`s play in the community. She laughingly mentioned that she was considering getting a PHD just so she could call herself Doctor Love.

Meeting Denise was a rare and special treat. It`s a seldom occurrence to meet somebody so passionate and dedicated to helping humanity, who puts everything on the line to walk their talk, and to have it all served up with a cheeky grin and warm hug.
I feel inspired by my weekend's death doula experience, and hope that as an End Of Life consultant I too will be able to effectively share my love and support in providing comfort to those dying.

*For anybody wanting to find out more about Denise's LifeOptions charity and to offer a donation, please contact me via private message and I will forward you on to Denise.

Denise has her own amazing Doula School called LifeOptions where you can do the most amazing online training with weekly get togethers and modules. Nobody has to look any further as everything you need including so much more than we expected. The price is amazing for what we receive.

hank you Denise. This has brought me a lighting of my spirit that I was unaware had gone out. What you bring to this is one in a million and I thank you xx

Fiona Morrison (222) - Central Coast


Many thanks Denise! And thank you especially for all the heart, knowledge, and sense of community you brought to the course. I’ve learnt so much and more than anything, I feel I’ve come away with a mindset of practicing humility and courage. It’s something I’m trying to carry into everyday life!

Sarah  (223 + Adv.DD) - Central Coast

 


 

I had the honour and great privilege of meeting Australia's pioneering birth and death educator Denise Love at a two day Death Doula workshop.

Unsure about what to expect at the training, I arrived there feeling a mixture of curious excitement and apprehension - what would I discover? Would I feel acutely aware of my own mortality, and how would I handle being confronted by it?


Well...I have to say that my feeling of apprehension pretty much hit the dust on meeting the incredible force of nature that is Denise Love, and by the end of that first day I knew without a doubt that I was in the right place.

Denise is one of those people who is 100% authentic, what you see is what you get! She views life and death with a wonderful mix of compassion, warmth, reverence and a liberal sprinkling of humour. In Denise's opinion, living well includes not being so terrified of death, "death is not the enemy." Her viewpoint is finely honed from a lifetime of giving comfort and support to those dying in her role as a death doula.

I would like to express my deepest love, gratitude and reverence to Denise Love & Barb Ferguson

Thank you for guiding me through this course and for teaching me the doula practise. 

A few days ago I lost my grandmother, this woman was my absolute world and was very special to me. She raised me ❤

Being able to care for her during her illness and holding space for her through her final moments was such a honour. 

I was able to guide her to her happy place and help her to move forward with her transition. She fought right up until the end until she couldn’t fight anymore. 
She had so much fear in surrendering. 

I never in a million lifetimes thought that my first experience with death would be with my grandmother. 

I have so much love and respect for everything that you do. 

Thank you, we need more people like you in this world, shining light upon those times

of darkness and helping people to be able to let go of fear in their final moments. 

I think it takes a special kind of person to be able to do this kind of work. 

I have received so much out of your teaching 

The knowledge and experience I will hold forever.

Maria 

That's course #3 done. ✅
One of my favorite aspects of this course was the communal atmosphere within the group, thanks to the supportive guidance of Denise Love, Jenny Blake and Barb Ferguson & the wonderful women I studied with. Their insight and wisdom were invaluable. I appreciate their authenticity and compassion, I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from them as mentors. Alongside full time mothering and illness, I was still able to achieve completing this course with their unconditional support along the way. 

If you're looking for doula training, Denise's courses are where it's at 👇

I LOVED my training with LifeOptions & Denise Love 
There were so many changes in my life, my thoughts and my attitude- - I have become kinder and learned to stop, be quiet, ask the Big Questions and then assist and support someone through the End of Life Process 
I HIGHLY recommend this training

Sandra Jonker - Adelaide 

 

 

WOW! I am certainly in the right place, right here, right now, with your teachings....
I reflect after each module how blessed I am to be immersed in this learning. Beyond...!

Hello Denise, 
I cannot thankyou enough for taking the time to make this course available. This last 12 months has been a massive journey on many levels and its been doing this course that healing on many levels has taken place...so much gratitude. I will be forever grateful 🙏 ❤

Yvonne Kiel Advanced DD 2023 - Echuca Vic.


I have learnt so much, been challenged and have been exposed to concepts that I could have never imagined. I've also developed friendships, establish a 'death' network, which can only grow. Thank you.

Her viewpoint is finely honed from a lifetime of giving comfort and support to those dying in her role as a death doula.

Despite her 72 years of life Denise is still in awe of humanity and humbled by the inherent sacredness of the cycle of life. She has been present at the scene of countless births as a birth doula and at the bedside of many dying people in her role as a death doula.
Both are sacred functions to Denise, although her time spent supporting people who are dying holds a very special place in her heart; "They're incredible experiences, it's more amazing for me to be with somebody for the last breath then being with somebody for the first breath."

I learned from the BEST!!! Denise Love and Barb Ferguson. Passionate,  kind, lovely, knowledgeable, driven, patient ladies, who still offer their help and expertise after you finished a fabulous put together course...you both are my heroes, and I am so fortunate to have found you and my passion being a death doula...forever thankful and grateful 🙏 
With much love ❤

Our lovely client passed this morning after three last quiet gentle nights. (The previous days and nights had not been gentle or restful.) There was calm singing, her favourite lavender room spray, and such solicitude from her daughters and husband.
The oxygen was removed about 48 hours before passing, with no noticeable distress after the removal.
For a patient who had been described as “being in the top 5% of complicated pain cases”, I feel as though the care team at our little local hospital, and our little crew were able to ease her anxieties and pain so that her passing was gentle and loving.
🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
Death Doula Australia - Denise Love, YOU did this. I firmly believe that her death would not have been such a gentle, respectful thing without your teaching and guidance, and I am so grateful to have been a part of your  Death Doula courses. I’m so grateful to you and Barb for your continued presence in this field. We are changing lives here.

I'm only just coming down from our weekend together. I have so much gratitude for Ruth and to you all for holding space and bringing your collective energies. What an extraordinary group of people creating a social field of love, warmth, support and deep empathy  for our spiritual and human experiences in this realm and beyond 💞

Lucy  f2f July 2023 - Perth


Denise and her courses are truly inspiring and the work Denise does is something that I aspire to achieve in my lifetime. 
I would recommend Denise’s courses to anyone interested in becoming a death doula.
Do yourself a favour and look into Denise’s work.

 

Steph (623) - Sydney

 


Love your themed modules and their evolving thought-provoking content. Each module is detailed with great videos and meditations. The modules give insight and business suggestions on “How to get started and be the best support Doula” without compromising the content. I think there are substantial tips and suggestions, for anyone completing this course, to be able to create and design their own style of being a ‘Doula’ for others on their death journey.

Hello Denise, 
I cannot thankyou enough for taking the time to make this course available. This last 12 months has been a massive journey on many levels and its been doing this course that healing on many levels has taken place...so much gratitude. I will be forever grateful 🙏 ❤

I have learnt so much, been challenged and have been exposed to concepts that I could have never imagined. I've also developed friendships, establish a 'death' network, which can only grow. Thank you.

Thank you Denise. This has brought me a lighting of my spirit that I was unaware had gone out. What you bring to this is one in a million and I thank you xx

Many thanks Denise! And thank you especially for all the heart, knowledge, and sense of community you brought to the course. I’ve learnt so much and more than anything, I feel I’ve come away with a mindset of practicing humility and courage. It’s something I’m trying to carry into everyday life!
