HOSPICE TESTIMONIAL
"Huron Shores Hospice acquired training and materials through the Death Doula Network of BC with the goal of continued education of our hospice team. The overall experience was excellent, from my preliminary meeting with Jo-Anne and Karen to discuss our organization’s training needs to the 3-part educational series itself. Our volunteer team participated in the training over three consecutive weekly sessions which delivered pertinent information to their role and resulted in increased comfort and knowledge of the dying process. Both Jo-Anne and Karen were professional and knowledgeable and elicited great conversation that our team felt was beneficial in their role as support volunteers. "
- Cathy Herbert, Executive Director, Huron Shores Hospice, Ontario
"The events created by Jo-Anne and Karen are warm, welcoming and professional and offer opportunities for learning and deep connection between participants.
The space is safe and FUN - yes FUN!"

"I have grown so much in understanding my role as a Death Doula since joining, Karen Hendrickson and Jo-Ann Haun at DDNBC. Their outstanding level of knowledge of Death Doula work, plus their ability to make you feel safe and comfortable is beyond what I was expecting. I always leave the workshops feeling full, excited to be on this journey, and grateful to have this venue to learn. Thank you," - Elaine Tess - Goodbyes Matter

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY ...
"I am so grateful to be part of this network. It's rare to find a community where members promote each other and share information so generously. Karen and Jo-Anne are fun, energetic and very attentive to questions. I see DDNI as the backbone to this emerging field of death workers."
"I chose DDNBC -- not because it is BC but because the two of you are so faithful to educating the public and networking/supporting practitioners.
To my mind, DDNBC is doing so better (i.e. "Together is Better!") than any other organization (that I am aware of); so I am delighted to be a member and to recommend DDNBC to others.
Besides that, the two of you are an excellent combination; and are delightful to be with. Blessings all-ways! In the Spirit and Soul of W/holism."
"The Doula Network that Jo-Anne and Karen have created is fantastic! They are a great team and the network offers all sorts of really interesting events. The network is growing and no matter where you live and work, you’ll find tremendous value in being involved. I’m proud to be a member!"
"Thank you, Karen and Jo-Anne for continuously hosting events that are so full of great content-exceptional is the word that keeps coming to mind. DDNBC is just such a great resource and fantastic community-always such great connections-and I am so grateful to be a part of it. Words are just not enough...thank you...from the bottom of my heart "
" The DDNBC provides a beautifully level playing field without barriers. It is a safe place to explore, question, and share. Three months ago, I was really nervous about putting myself out there in service, but the DDNBC has helped me overcome the fear with amazing mentorship workshops, website information, and open chat groups. In this amazing environment, growth is inevitable.
The adage, “Education neutralizes fear” is evident in this organization, Karen and Jo-Anne are the epitome of gentle understanding and comprehensive presentation. Just witnessing their natural banter is a privilege worth the price of admission."
"While I live in the USA, I have discovered that the information, connections and inspiration that can be found within the DDNBC is priceless regardless of where you live! I am grateful to have come across this amazing network of people and encourage you to join us."
