Conscious Dying coaching is rooted in Caring Science ontology and assists to restore death to its sacred place in the beauty, mystery and celebration of life. Some of the principles include increasing beauty, pleasure and contentment while providing emotional and spiritual support. Conscious Dying coaching will demystify the stages of the dying process and initiate conversations about the dying process. The practice acknowledges mysteries, miracles and unexplained events.

Death Doula as described by International End of Life Association (INELDA): "service to the dying person, family members and communities, allowing to speak openly, exploring the meaning of life, preparing for the last days through an intuitive presence and modeling, teaching, communication and processing”
