THE DEATH & RESURRECTION DOULA COLLABORATION ASSOCIATION

The Death and Resurrection Doula Collaboration Association is a formational community for professional Death & Resurrection Doulas. Its purpose is to strengthen their shared vocation and practice through mentorship, theological grounding, and community accountability. Rooted in resurrection hope, the Collaboration Association exists to support both doulas in training and beyond certification as they grow in a faithful, non-medical support role for the dying, their families, and their communities.

Death Doula collective and collaboration

For Doulas in Training

Receive ongoing support during coursework as formation unfolds in community, not isolation. Through peer mentorship and shared learning with certified doulas, training doulas are accompanied with relational guidance as they discern their calling and grow in confidence toward certification.

For Certified Doulas

Stay rooted in community while continuing to grow in practice and faith. Certified doulas are invited to serve in paid mentorship roles, supporting doula formation while remaining engaged with the evolving end-of-life doula movement, strengthening their own skills, and receiving ongoing spiritual support.

Our Pillars of Service

doula commitment

community priority

resurrection hope

The Collaboration Association promotes a Christian worldview and standardization of Christian end-of-life doula services:  "be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord."

—1 Corinthians 15:58

community priority

resurrection hope

We serve without fear or denial of death. God's Kingdom is breaking into this world, and we live in the light of the resurrection:  "But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep." 

—1 Corinthians 15:20 

community priority

community priority

community priority

We wait for Christ’s return prioritizing care for the dying:  “For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.” 

—1 Thessalonians 4:16, NIV
