Welcome to the Path of Holding Sacred Space

We are delighted to have you join us on this journey! You are about to begin a sacred experience with your guides, Teresa & Evangeline.

This course was initially developed as a graduate program for Evangeline's shamanic practitioner students and then evolved into one foundational piece of her Minister Ordination training program. Teresa enrolled in Evangeline's Death Doula course along with many other certification programs and training courses

Welcome to the Death Doula Certification Course: A Sacred Partnership of Healing and Clinical Wisdom!

We are so honored to welcome you into this transformative journey—a course designed to support and empower you as a compassionate companion through one of life’s most profound transitions.

Originally created as a deep dive into the sacred art of death doula work through the lens of shamanic practice and energy healing, this course has now evolved into something even more powerful. We are thrilled to introduce new content and insights from retired Hospice executive Teresa Blemings, whose decades of experience in end-of-life care bring a grounded, clinical depth to this soul-centered training.

Together, we represent two ends of the spectrum—Teresa brings the essential voice of the medical and caregiving world, while I (Evangeline Hemrick) offer the spiritual and energetic perspective shaped by shamanic practice, energy work, and years of walking alongside souls in transition. By joining forces, we’ve created a truly holistic training—one that honors both the sacred mystery of death and the practical, emotional, and physical realities that arise in this work.

Whether you're called to this path as a caregiver, healer, or seeker of deeper understanding, this course will equip you with tools, rituals, real-life stories, and grounded clinical wisdom to support the dying and their families with grace, compassion and presence.

Thank you for answering the call to serve in this sacred way. We are honored to walk beside you.

In love and service,

Teresa & Evangeline
