A pioneering voice in holistic and spiritual end-of-life care.
For more than twenty-five years, my work has grown from one simple calling: to sit beside those who are dying and listen deeply to what they—and the people who love them—most need.
From these quiet encounters, Soul Midwifery was born: a compassionate approach to end-of-life care that honours the whole person—body, heart, spirit and soul. My life’s work is to bring greater tenderness, understanding and humanity to dying, and to help others feel more confident in meeting this most profound of human experiences.
Felicity Warner is the founder of Soul Midwifery and a pioneering voice in holistic and spiritual end-of-life care.
For more than twenty-five years, she has worked alongside the dying and those who care for them, developing a compassionate approach grounded in deep listening, skilled presence and respect for the spiritual dimensions of dying.
Felicity’s writing brings together practical wisdom, ancient traditions and many years of experience at the bedside.
