When someone we love is nearing life’s end, we often feel unprepared—unsure how to show up or ease the journey. Led by seasoned INELDA educators Shelby Kirillin, a neurotrauma nurse with over 20 years of ICU experience, and Neiasha Russell, a certified grief counselor and doula, this immersive five-day training offers the foundation you need to step into a role of presence and purpose. Grounded in INELDA’s Doula Approach, you’ll learn to provide emotional, spiritual, and practical support to those facing death. Whether you’re called to this work personally or professionally, you’ll leave with tangible tools, confidence, and a profound sense of how to hold space during life’s most sacred transitions.
