Discover the profound art of Soul Midwifery with this transformative guide to end-of-life care.

Revised and updated with new material, The Soul Midwives' Handbook offers a gentle, heart-centred approach to accompanying the dying on their final journey, ensuring a transition filled with love, dignity, and peace.

Felicity Warner's internationally acclaimed Soul Midwives' movement has transformed modern end-of-life care. Like death doulas, Soul Midwives are trained to support individuals through every stage of the dying process, offering holistic, spiritual, and emotional careβ€”whether at home, in hospices, or in care homes.

This essential book blends ancient wisdom with contemporary practice to support dying well and dying with dignity. Inside, you'll find:

  • Practical tools for creating a meaningful end-of-life plan, initiating important conversations, and supporting legacy projects such as memory books and recordings.
  • Gentle spiritual techniques for easing physical pain and emotional distress, including guided visualisations, energy healing, and soul-soothing rituals.
  • Practices for holding vigils and caring for those of all faiths, including the use of sacred oils, music, and ceremony to create peaceful, comforting environments.

Whether you're a caregiver, healthcare professional, or supporting a dying parent or loved one, The Soul Midwives' Handbook will help you navigate all the pain of death and grief with courage, compassion, and grace.

'In this moving book, Felicity has encapsulated the wisdom of the ages into practical examples of how to be with the dying; how to honour and hold that sacred space for everyone as they prepare to make the journey that we all must take.' - Anita Moorjani, best-selling author of Dying to Be Me

'A guide to help people prepare for death just as they might for a birthβ€”and achieve a peaceful end to their lives.' - YOU Magazine
