Every cohort reminds me that Deathschool Evolved is not something I teach alone. Its something we make together. A room where people are allowed to be fully human. Curious. Tender. Afraid. Powerful. Becoming.

I am endlessly grateful to the students who trust this space, who show up with their lived experience, and who are willing to discover the teacher within themselves — and then offer that medicine outward, because the world needs it.

If you’ve been feeling the quiet pull toward this work…
If you recognize yourself in these words…
The 2026 cohorts are forming now.

When I was young, people found their way to me with tender things. Teenage me felt everything. I turned their stories into poems and ways to hold feelings that were too big.

As I began to experience death myself, I became that person again. Messages from people I barely knew. Messages from across the world from those standing at the edge of loss. I learned early that I can’t fix it, but I can listen. I stay when the storm hits. I have some tools.

For years, my inboxes were open to internet friends. In many ways that was the foundation.

As my work matured, it became more structured with classes, courses, websites, student portals - official ways to connect. All of this to say: if you’re curious about death and dying, you can talk to me.

If you’re in deep grief... or you work in the ER and feel the sacred parts being abandoned and it breaks your heart. I can help direct you to a class or a circle or book or a podcast that might help you. It’s work I’ve been doing, slowly and honestly, for a long time.

Full disclosure: I don’t always reply quickly—life is full. But my inbox will hold space for you until my eyes and hands catch up.

Until the End,
Erin

I graduated a Deathschool Evolved class last week. It was bittersweet, as one student pointed out, we had trauma bonded. This group was there for me through the immediacy of the hurricane, and I was there for them as we walked the path of their history, thier relationship with death and grief, and the full comprehensive coursework that is my cornerstone training - Deathschool Evolved.

I tell my students on the first day of class that by the last; we will be a community. And it’s true. I love them. They love eachother. The WhatsApp group chat is chattering.

There aren’t that many places in life where we communicate on this level. Deathwork, grief work, life work - it’s all the same. It asks you to hold grief in one hand and progress in the other other. It’s a culture changing career, this doulaship. And - it’s AI proof. Nope, never gonna have robots sitting bedside, singing Amazing Grace.

It’s my greatest blessings to help people massage the knots inside their hearts, loosen the grip the fear has, and sometimes also make a meaningful career change.

I’ve actually lost track of how many sessions it’s been now. We’re well in the 20s. I’m considering changing the format soon - to a class where we only meet once a month (instead of 8 times a month, like we do now). I don’t know yet. So many ways to deliver education and I like to play around with what works best. If this high-touch, deep-dive twice a week format (8 weeks of me all over your life) is your kind of learning, lean in.

I’m still running a big sale, my prices are very competitive for death doula training, and while I hail many other teachers out there in the space, I also confidently tell you - this class is excellent. It’s life changing. Can’t wait to meet me next round of besties.

Just a woman tending to thresholds.
Turning a calling into a career has been one of the great satisfactions of my life.

Why? Because. 🖤

This is why we do what we do.

My Doula Client is dying but her adult children have power of attorney, but they are in denial and won’t show up for her. What do I do?

As doulas, the sooner we can work with a client and the sooner they get into hospice, the more we can do to support them (and their families) emotionally, logistically, physically and spiritually if wanted.
