Soul Midwives are holistic and spiritual companions to the dying. They support and recognise the individual needs of the dying person and help them achieve a loving, dignified, and peaceful death – whether at home, in a hospice or a care home.
In Felicity Warner’s ground-breaking handbook, you will learn how Soul Midwives have changed the face of modern holistic and spiritual palliative care. A Soul Midwife works with the dying and their loved ones on every step of the end-of-life journey, using complementary therapeutic techniques such as:
· Making practical preparations with the dying person · Creating a sacred & healing space · Soul care · Energy healing · Aromatherapy · Creative visualisations · Vigiling · Breathing techniques · Soothing touch
The Soul Midwives’ Handbook also contains information about the history & ancient traditions of Soul Midwifery and guidance on the physical tools of the Soul Midwife’s trade, such as:
Felicity Warner has been practising Soul Midwifery for more than 25 years and has trained many Soul Midwives, both women and men, who have taken the work far and wide in Europe, America, New Zealand, Australia and Canada.
Anyone with an open and compassionate heart and a desire to help others can train to become a Soul Midwife. As Felicity says, “A good death is a wonder. It is a healing experience for everyone involved – something to be celebrated… When we make friends with death we are shown how to truly live.”
‘A gift for bringing comfort and peace to those who are about to pass away.’ Daily Express
‘The woman who wants to make dying more dignified.’ Woman’s Weekly
‘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, author of Dying to Be Me
‘It is wonderful that Felicity Warner’s Soul Midwives now have a handbook for practical use. As vigiling reclaims its rightful place at the bedside, The Soul Midwives’ Handbook emerges as a useful and timely tool for those who are called to this sacred work.’ Megory Anderson PhD, author of Sacred Dying
‘By providing loving and gentle support, Felicity and the Soul Midwives support people to have the death that they want. What could be more important?’ Jon Underwood, pioneer of the death cafe movement
