Our Mission

As a new death doula in 2021, becoming a member of network inspired me to follow this path and gave me the confidence to get started. My fellow members have made suggestions, offered valuable feedback, and shared experiences to help me along the way. I could not be on the brink of launching my business had it not been for their support.

I took my end of life training in 2018, but it wasn't until I joined the network in 2020 that I found the support, ideas and resources that I needed to get my business going. The knowledge and experiences of the other doulas is invaluable. I am so thankful for their encouragement and pers

I’ve been a network member since 2020. After a lengthy career in long term care I felt called to serve my community. Being a member with provides me with current education, resources and a connection with like minded individuals who want to be of service as well. I am grateful. 

Being a member of the network provides not only shared tools, resources & best practices but more importantly connection, empathy & support on our unique journeys. 

The network provides meaningful networking opportunities. The Facebook group is a wonderful resource as are the Monday night meetings. Getting to know others in the field is important as we press forward in offering our services in community. 

The network has provided me with so many learning resources, networking opportunities and a wonderful support system of like minded individuals. Every aspect of the network helps me to best advocate, educate and empower my local community. 

I recommend the Death Doula Ontario Network and am proud to be one of the initial members since June 2020. This compassionate community has grown in numbers and knowledge in such a short time.

There is a great deal of value exchanged in the regular meetings, the Facebook group and other interactions.
