LISSA CARMELA
DEATH DOULA ~ END OF LIFE CONSULTANT
ABOUT ME
I am a registered nurse with experience in palliative care and have always felt a sense of reverence when working with the dying. I am interested in how different cultures have certain practices around birth, death and everything in between, and feel passionate about supporting and educating people on how to have a positive death what ever that may mean to them.
Facing my own mortality in the past due to a health condition has brought me to a place of acceptance and peace as well as sparked interest in the transition of death and dying. Through my experience I have become comfortable with discussing death and dying with others to help discover and navigate fears, hopes and dreams.
I have completed the Midwifing Death Correspondence Course with Michael Barbato, and Denise Loves Death Doula Course. Through this work I have been able to come to a place and practice of embracing life today, and hope to support others faced with death and dying to do the same.
