On Conscious Dying with Death Doula and Midwife Carla Torres Davis

Whole Healed Holy

Join me for a tender but important conversation about death and dying, the conscious way. Today I'm joined by Carla, a Death Doula and Midwife who has helped to guide many people on this journey.

.

Carla is the owner of A Venerated Death: End of Life. She is an End-of-Life Coach, Death Doula & Midwife, Home Funeral Guide and Funeral Celebrant. Carla received both of her End of Life Coaching & Death Doula certifications through her course work with the Conscious Dying Institute in Boulder, Colorado. Carla also studied under Olivia Bareham from Sacred Crossings in LA, where she was given the wisdom and tools to help advocate and support families wanting to give their loved ones the sacred art of home funerals and after body care. Carla also received her Funeral Celebrant Certificate through her course work with Olivia as well.

.

Carla is a volunteer at Denver Hospice where she continues to learn and expand her understanding and experiences working with the dying. This work and the wisdom it holds is and will be a lifelong journey for Carla and she is always continuing to broaden her learning, education, and knowledge in the Death Doula field.

.

Carla hosts a monthly Death Discussion and a Parent Loss Grief Circle for individuals like herself that have lost a parent in their 20's and 30's. She is passionate about normalizing the topic of death and dying in everyday conversations. Carla has sat bedside to many people in their final days and her hope is to help her community bring death back to its scared place through her End-of-Life Care Service offerings. Carla meets people within this part of life with a radical presence of non-judgment, support and a bold vulnerability.
