The Labor of Death w/ Nikki Smith

Have you heard of a death doula? You've probably certainly heard of a birth doula, and it's a similar concept and training. The same way that a birth doula helps assist a person's energy and the energy of the room to ensure a safe and incredible birthing journey, the same is achieved by a death doula for a soul departing from this world. Nikki Smith had a more typical career in corporate technology but had always been volunteering in various ways to support those approaching end of life. This incredible work includes not only the moment of transition, but also an overarching education especially in the western world to embrace the conversation and understanding of death. Often there is stigma at the least, and fear at the worst. Nikki is opening the conversation and is also preparing countless souls and caregivers toward the beautiful transition of what lies beyond this plane.
