Erin Merelli
“No one is here to get rich in the pocket, but rich in the soul, with enough security and comforts to sustain the dream of a meaningful life.”
Soulful,
Sustainable Practice
Stepping into deathwork is not just a career path—most say it’s a calling. A world where compassion meets practicality and the beginning meets the end. But turning this work of the heart into a sustainable practice? That can feel overwhelming.
The muscles it takes to doula well aren’t the same muscles it takes to run a small business - and doulaship is entrepreneurship (for now). So I created this class: to help you take next steps towards soulful, sustainable practice.
