Who Have Done the Work
These are the words of people who completed the training and went on to support families through some of life's most tender moments. Their experience, in their own words.
"Deeply Surprised at the Depth and Breadth"
I entered the training a bit cynically and expected a lot of fluff. I was deeply surprised at the depth and breadth of the information shared -- presented as an interactive experience requiring thought and introspection. I have always felt a calling; but now I have the tools and base of information to actually make a difference.
"Practical Tools, Guidance on Boundaries, and Real Confidence"
IEOLCA gave me practical tools, guidance on boundaries, and a deeper understanding of how to support people with compassion during one of life's most sacred times. The focus on presence, reflective listening, and honoring each person's wishes will guide me in my work as a doula.
"It Helped Me Name What I Already Felt in My Spirit"
This training helped me name what I already felt in my spirit. I feel deeply connected to this work because I believe every life has value, every legacy matters -- and now I have the tools and grounding to act on that belief.
"An Incredible Resource for Those Seeking a Thorough Curriculum"
The combination of videos and written materials provides an in-depth overview -- compassion, listening, person-centered care, family relations, proper boundaries, and self-care. It is a gift to the community.
"Accessible, Flexible, and Deeply Reflective of Real Support"
I was so impressed by the comprehensive information presented and how closely the material reflects real support for those transitioning. Thank you for making this training accessible, flexible, and affordable. I feel supported and confident as I move forward in this service.
"The Resource Packets and Examples Are Gold"
This program is grand. I was skeptical -- the reviews were raving -- and I am glad I invested in this curriculum. The resource packets and examples are gold to anyone hoping to start in the world of being a death doula, and an extra bonus to anyone already running their business.
"I Found Myself Looking Forward to the Modules Each Morning"
I was very impressed with this course and feel that it has benefitted me in so many ways. The self-paced format worked well for me. The self-reflection journaling helped me better answer questions about myself and my "why." This course has provided a good and solid foundation for me as I pursue becoming a doula.
"Every Chaplain Would Benefit from This Training"
This program is flawless. A lot of chaplains would benefit from this training. I am so thankful that I picked this particular course.
"Not Just About End-of-Life Care -- About the Kind of Person I Want to Be"
This experience has been meaningful not only professionally but inwardly. It has invited me to reflect more honestly on grief, compassion, presence, and the kind of person I want to be in the lives of others.
"What I Was Missing from My Previous Certification"
I completed a death doula certification course through another organization, but felt like something essential was missing. This course is exactly what I was looking for.
"Made a Difference in Me and in My Relationship with My Patients"
I practiced what I learned in my everyday work and it made a difference in me and in my relationship with my patients. I spoke so highly of this training that my supervisor wanted to know who I was going through -- and I gave them all the information.
"More Grounded, More Aware, and Confident in the Path"
I feel more grounded, more aware of my role, and confident in the path I am stepping into. This is not just about completing a curriculum -- it is about becoming ready to truly show up for the people who need you.
"Amy-Lynne's Passion for This Work is Contagious"
Amy-Lynne Mahon's passion for end-of-life care is contagious. I feel inspired to continue learning and growing in this field.
"A Sense of Direction and a Sense of Well-Being"
I am really enjoying this process. It is giving me such a sense of direction and well-being. This has been a meaningful journey and I am grateful to have found my way to it.
"Pet Loss is Legitimate. Choices Are Personal. What Remains is Love."
Training with IEOLCA's Pet Death Doula program provided valuable information, thoughtful reflection, compassionate guidance on grief, and important tools and templates. What was beautifully expressed was that pet loss is legitimate, choices are personal, and what remains, always, is love.
"Reaffirmed My Intuition and Gave Me a Road to Follow"
This course not only reaffirmed my intuition but gave me a road to follow. I can't wait for this journey to begin. It grounded me so I can help others.
"Walking with an Animal at End of Life is a Sacred Honour"
This training helped me understand that walking with an animal at the end of their life is a sacred honour. I now have the tools I need to support pets and their humans through this final transition.
It is a gift to the community -- a thorough, compassionate curriculum that covers everything from the dying person's wishes to family relationships, self-care, and ethical practice.
