Her innovative approach has garnered significant recognition, including being named “End of Life Care Champion” by the National Council for Palliative Care and Royal College of Nursing, and “End of Life Doula of the Year.”
The Soul Midwives School, has welcomed thousands of people from all walks of life, including nurses, therapists, chaplains, carers and those supporting someone they love
A passionate death educator, Felicity and her teachers bring together therapeutic and spiritual approaches with practical ways to offer comfort and preserve dignity at the end of life.
She believes that talking openly about death helps us recognise it as a natural part of life, easing fears and gently dissolving taboos.
SACRED OILS
Alongside Soul Midwifery, she is a healer working with Sacred Oils and a Myrrhophore—or myrrh-bearing woman.
Sacred Oils weave into end-of-life work through connection and a deeper attentiveness to life.

Tarron Estes
founder of the Conscious Dying Institute
Felicity explains:” Away from teaching, I live a quiet life in the Dorset countryside. I am a wife, mother and grandmother, happiest with time for family, animals and the natural world.
I love plants, painting, cooking, writing and creating sacred oils. Above all, I value time to think and listen.
My work continues to teach me about courage, vulnerability and the extraordinary tenderness that can arise when we are willing to be present with one another.”
