"After watching Katie‘s introductory training video, I knew this was the program for me. I was looking for a foundational program that could prepare me to do my heart and soul calling as an end of life practitioner. What I really liked was her all inclusive invitation.
Katie’s expertise and experience brings rich integrity to her program and a sense of empowerment to her students. I highly recommend!"

"I can't say enough about Katie. Katie is great at holding space, how she teaches, and her knowledge of death and dying.
I wish that I had known now what I know the months leading up to my mom's death and the day of her death. I have been thinking about becoming a death doula for a while now and I am so glad that I took her course.
Thank you Katie!"

That's when I decided to watch Katie's free introductory training video. That was it, that was all I needed to know to help me realize what I wanted to do and Katie was the one I wanted to help me get there! ...

Hi, I’m Katie Duncan, a nurse practitioner and former hospice nurse who has spent years at the intersection of medical care and the spiritual dimensions of dying. I’ve witnessed how ritual, presence, and open-hearted conversation can transform the end-of-life experience for everyone involved.
In this class, I’ll share not just the practical frameworks of conscious dying, but also the deeper wisdom that comes from honouring this transition as both a human and sacred event.
