Soul Midwives are holistic and spiritual companions to the dying. They draw on traditional skills, applying them to our modern world to ease the passage of those who are dying. Suitable for anyone with an open and compassionate heart and a desire to help others, this book guides them through the core principles and techniques of this practice.

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:

· Herbs
· Flower remedies
· Sacred oils
· Singing bowls

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.”

Felicity Warner has trained many hundreds of people from all walks of life in her methods, which are now widely used in hospices across the world. She also runs The Soul Midwive's School in Dorset. www.soulmidwives.co.uk
