About Doulagivers Institute:

From the beginning of Doulagivers Institute, our mission has been expanding and enhancing quality end of life care for all people everywhere in the world and empowering family caregivers with the skills and knowledge they need to provide compassionate care to those they love in the final stages of life.

We offer the highest level of education and certification for full-spectrum, holistic, non-medical end of life care practitioners (known as Doulagivers) that work to create better end of life experiences for patients and families and increase satisfaction with the home hospice experience.

Death is something that all of us will experience no matter our race, religion, or socioeconomic status. We believe that this education to support people to have the most positive end of life experience is a human right, not a privilege, which is why we also offer many FREE Resources for Family Caregivers navigating the end of life journey.
