Hello, we are Birgitta Kastenbaum and Cheserae Scala, Death Midwives and End of Life Guides. We have been students to many amazing teachers, but our greatest teachers (and loves) have been the dying whom we have been privileged to serve. We honor the persons we have walked to the threshold of life by sharing the wisdom of these lived experiences. Sadly dying, death, grief, and caregiving are often experienced in isolation with very little support for the emotional and spiritual needs present. But it doesn't have to be like this. We believe that connection to self, each other, community, nature, and the sacred are keys to living and dying well. And that, in the end, it is all about love. We serve and educate individuals, families of origin or chosen, communities of all makings, and health, hospice, and care organizations, and would love to hear from you.
