Christian Death Doula Training and Online Certification

Christian End-of-life Doula Training & Certification

Laurel Nicholson's Death & Resurrection Doula Training Program is more than an end-of-life doula certification & training course. Laurel provides a nurturing, faith-based environment to prepare individuals for the sacred work of supporting others through the end-of-life process. 

Start Training

The Death & Resurrection Doula Training Program

What is a doula? Doulos is an ancient Greek word meaning servant or one devoted to another. In the Christian tradition, it reflects service rendered in Christ by faith.


Becoming a Christian end-of-life doula is more than a profession—it's a calling. This unique program will empower you with the skills and confidence to provide holistic support to individuals and families during life's most profound transition. 


As a trained Death & Resurrection Doula, you'll provide crucial support to those facing terminal illness. A doula is trained to provide spiritual counsel, emotional stability, and practical guidance through companionship, holistic comfort care, death vigils, legacy projects, and more.


Death & Resurrection Doula services are rooted in the love of Christ and hope of resurrection. Many graduates share that the experience not only prepared them to serve others—it brought profound healing and renewed faith.

About Laurel Nicholson, Program developer

Christian Death Doula Training and Online Certification Curriculum Developer

"Martin Luther once said God's schoolhouse is suffering because this is where the Word of God moves from simply our ears and lips into our hearts.  I have known Laurel for over 10 years and in that time I have seen her being shaped by suffering and the Word of God move deeply into her heart. This has made her a kind and compassionate person.  When one is visited by death, and we all will be, both the family and dying need to not only be cared for but assured that Jesus has triumphed over death, and in him life does not end but is changed to something far more glorious. When Laurel lived in New York City, I saw her bring all these characteristics to the dying's bedside and be an instrument of such peace.  I cannot recommend her ministry enough."  


~ The Reverend Jacob A. Smith, Rector of Calvary-St. George's Episcopal Church, NYC

Why Choose A Faith-Based End-of-life Doula Training Program?

Christian End-of-Life Doula services differ from secular services. The Biblical answer to the question, Why do we die?, separates a Christian Doula from the secular. Christian service springs forth from the good news of the gospel and the hope of resurrection.

Begin the Journey

Are you ready to start your journey as a Death & Resurrection Doula?  Sign up for the first and only Christian end-of-life doula training program and help others spend their final days full of dignity and hope. 


If you feel the Spirit stirring your heart toward this work, I invite you to say yes and see what Christ will do through you. Enrollment opens the door to transformation, mentorship, and a community that embodies resurrection hope in every act of care.

Important Documents

“This is a wonderful ministry, a gift to both Church & world. The hope of resurrection is so much more than a vague ‘afterlife’: it is the reaffirmation, in God’s ultimate New Creation, of who we really are, body, mind, & spirit. The comfort of this promise reaches back into the darkest moments we humans can face. 

Thank God for those who bring this comfort where it is needed most.” 

~ Anglican Bishop & author of Surprised By Hope, N.T. Wright ~
