What’s a soul midwife?
A soul midwife walks alongside people who are dying, providing them and the people they love with practical, emotional and psycho-spiritual support.
In addition to working with people at end of life, I also support people experiencing other major life transitions.
This includes people who have lost someone they love (through bereavement or the end of a relationship), people experiencing a major health crisis, people exploring their gender identity and/or sexuality and people who want to align with their soul purpose.
TiNA’S STORY
Tina was my reflexology client for seven years. She was in remission from kidney cancer, and believed that reflexology helped her stay well.
During lockdown I was unable to treat her and her cancer returned. In March 2023 Tina contacted me to tell me she had been given less than a year to live.
She asked if I would start treating her again, and walk alongside her during the last months of her life…
I saw Tina regularly from May 2023 until her death in January 2024.
As well as giving her reflexology, we talked about the reality of dying, and helped her prepare she shared stories from her life. Decisions she’d regretted. Losses that had never healed.
We turned out all her crafting materials and finished making a dream catcher she had started years ago, decorating it with fairy lights and hanging it on the wall of her bedroom.
“We are all so ill prepared to die.”
— Tina, May 2023
In December 2023 Tina went into the hospice and I visited her most days. We wrote cards for her son to open after she’d died. I read stories that reminded her of her childhood.
Tina took her last three breaths with me by her side, and when I visited her in the chapel of rest, she looked blissfully happy.
A smile played across her lips, as if she knew the answer to a secret, and was amused that I didn’t know it, yet…
