FAQS

WHAT IS A SOUL MIDWIFE?

Soul Midwives are non-medical, holistic companions who guide and support the dying to facilitate a gentle and tranquil death.  You can find out more here

WHY DO WE NEED SOUL MIDWIVES?

Good question!  You can find out why here

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SOUL MIDWIFE AND A PALLIATIVE CARE NURSE?

Palliative care nurses are wonderful humans.  They are trained to support the dying on a medical and practical level.  A Soul Midwife complements the work of a medical team by supporting the dying in a non-medical way.  We help the dying find their way through their journey by understanding their wants and needs, leaving legacies and creating death plans. We also emotionally, holistically and spiritually support the dying through their final journey, along with holding sacred spaces and vigiling during final hours.  We also work with the families to support them in their grief during a time that can feel traumatic.  As fabulous as nurses are, most aren't trained in this way and they certainly do not have the time to do this work whilst practically and medically caring for their patients.

WHAT ARE THE SESSIONS LIKE?

Our first session involves sitting down and getting to know each other. I find out where you are now and which direction you are headed. I give you a safe space to talk about your hopes and fears about death.   After this, further sessions can include helping you talk to your family and friends about your wishes. I can guide you through end-of-life decisions like, getting your affairs in order and considering funeral options. Each session is led by where 'you are' on the journey and what you need during that time.  I have a 'tool kit' which includes various holistic therapies, oils and other items which I choose to help you through your journey where appropriate.

WHAT AREAS DO YOU COVER?

The majority of my work is within the West Midlands in the UK.  I'm based in Stourbridge and can work anywhere within a 5-10 mile radius.  If you live further afield then please do get in touch as I can travel - we just need to arrange travel expenses.

​

I have access to a wonderful network of Soul Midwives across the UK and beyond.  If I can't be there for you, then I can put you in touch with a Soul Midwife who can.

​

I also cover areas in Spain - please contact me for more info.

WILL OUR CONVERSATIONS BE KEPT PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL?

YES!  One of my main gifts is to enable people to open up to me and release their 'soul wounds'. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for the dying to release what's on their mind and in their heart and soul.  This work enables a peaceful transition when the time comes.

WILL YOU SUPPORT MY FAMILY TOO?

I certainly can.  We can involve your family in as many sessions as you feel comfortable with.  I can work with families by listening to their fears and thoughts on death, supporting their anxiety at losing a loved one and I can visit them after you're gone.  This visit could include any messages you'd like to pass on, or general love and support during a difficult time for them.

HOW MUCH IS YOUR SERVICE?

I offer a complete end-of-life support package for £349.  This includes:

​

  • 6 face to face sessions (each session is around 1 hour).  

  • A memory book filled with memories of your choice to pass on to your loved ones after you've gone.

  • End-of-life vigiling (up to 3 hours holding a peaceful, loving and sacred space during your final journey)*

  • A follow up visit to your loved ones after you've gone if required.

​

Alternatively, we can work together on an hourly basis at £35 per hour.

​

I'm currently taking on 'donations' based work!  If you're interested, please email me thesacredjourneyhome@evaandalma.com.  Or call me 07950 813393.  I cannot do this without the support of my community and all of my customers at www.evaandalma.com.  For every product purchased I have been adding a portion of the income to my sponsorship fund.

DO I NEED TO BE RELIGIOUS OR SPIRITUAL?

A Soul Midwife is non-denominational.  This means I can work with any belief.  Even if you don't know what you believe or believe there is 'nothing' after death - that's absolutely fine.  It's your journey and my role is to support you through it - not push my own views.

ARE YOU INSURED?

Yes.  I was trained by the wonderful Felicity Warner at the Soul Midwives School in Dorset. Felicity insists all practicing Soul Midwives are fully insured.

WHERE ARE YOUR SESSIONS HELD?

Wherever you would like them to be!  If you are able to get about, we can meet somewhere convenient to you close to home (or not close to home - depending on how you feel).  If you are unable to leave your bed, I can visit you at home, in hospital or in a Hospice.  The location is quite flexible depending on your needs.

HOW CAN I BOOK?

Please feel free to get in touch via the contact form here.  I aim to respond to your query within 24 hours.  I can send you booking details based on your requirements.

​

In emergencies, please call me on my mobile on 07950 813393.

MY LOVED ONE IS ALREADY IN THEIR FINAL STAGES OF DEATH AND CANNOT COMMUNICATE. WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO WORK WITH THEM.  IS THIS A PROBLEM?

Absolutely not.  It's hard to explain, but we are able to communicate and send love and peace to someone during their final days or hours without having to speak.  Soul Midwives can do a lot without having to say a word and I feel very blessed to have been given this gift.
