WHAT ARE SOUL MIDWIVES?

Soul Midwives are non-medical, holistic companions who guide and support the dying in order to facilitate a gentle and tranquil death.

​

Soul Midwives

  • Listen, provide gentle therapeutic techniques and ensure compassionate care at all times.

  • Work holistically with both the spirit and the soul of the dying person.

  • Keep a loving vigil.

  • Create and hold a sacred and healing space for the dying person.

  • Recognise and support the individual needs of the departing soul to enable a tranquil death.

  • Use sound, touch, colour and smell and other gentle techniques to help alleviate pain and anxiety.

  • Support families and loved ones.


The Soul Midwife’s most important role is to provide comfort, continuous support and reassurance in helping a dying person to experience the death he or she wants.
