Awareness of approach
to death
can be a beautiful thing,
a frame into which
we can put the work of art
that is our life,
our personal masterpiece.

Soul Doula
Margaret West is a Soul Doula. This means that she uses her holistic therapies on the dying as well as the living. As a Soul Doula it is her role to guide and support the dying in order to facilitate a gentle and tranquil death. Everyone has their own beliefs and she will support and appreciate everything that it entails.If a person has no set ideas about faith, then they are supported by what values they live by. It is Margaret’s belief that sometimes just small,but loving acts can have a huge impact on a dying person.
As a Soul Doula, Margaret’s primary role is to care, support and to act as an advocate for the dying as well as their family. Whatever is divulged to her will stay confidential and any personal information is never shared and is stored on a database system that only she has access to.
The service agreement between the Soul Doula/Midwife and the client is a ‘Sacred Contract'.
Margaret is agreeing to-
To ensure that compassionate care is given at all times to the patient and family.
To watch over the person during the dying process and create a sacred healing space for them.
To recognise and support the individual needs of the departing spirit to enable a peaceful and tranquil death.
To use gentle alternative therapy techniques to help alleviate pain and anxiety.
To support families and loved ones through the dying process of their loved one.
Write letters for the dying person and support them if they would like to make a living will.
Contact family if they wish it.
Recognise and support the individual needs of the departing soul to enable a tranquil death.
It is a great privilege to share the sacred space with someone as they transition into another world. To be there for another, with compassion, in a time of trauma really is one of the best gifts someone can give another. Whilst Margaret can ease someone’s death from a spiritual perspective, she can also offer practical help such as:
Where would they like to die, and who would they like to be present if it’s possible.
How do they want to be cared for as they approach the end of life?
How the person would like their funeral to be?.
Tying up loose ends, are all part of an end of life service and it must not only cover the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the patients, but also the framework of it . This will be tailored to suit the whole family as individuals.
Contracts are tailored to the individual and the family, so please do contact Margaret for an informal chat. She is based in Kent and because of the nature of this work, she can only offer people her services in the Kent area.

The disembodied soul
does not part with Nature
when it leaves the earth;
life but, rather,
it rises to a plane of Nature
which is fuller, richer
and sweeter in every way
than the best of which
the earth dwelling soul dreams.
The
dross of materiality burned away
by the astral vibrations,
the soul blossoms and
bears spiritual fruit in the new life.
