Doula for the soul

Preparing for a birth in heaven.

There is so much care and attention for a birth on earth. Why not for a birth in heaven? I have often asked myself that when I seriously looked at my fascination for the process of dying. The natural and also the mystical process concerning life and death is equal for everyone. Birth, life and death are closely connected. That has always been the case and will always remain so.

It is very understandable that questions arise prior to death.
  • What's going to happen to me?
  • How do I look back on my life?
  • What do I want to do in the time that remains? And what is needed for that?
  • What happens to me after death? Where do I travel to?
But also practical matters such as 'what can and do I want to arrange myself?' And topics such as burial or cremation and what choices still need to be made in saying goodbye to life.

Would you like to die with a smile?


This may be a somewhat progressive question, but why wouldn't you set that as a goal? A birth in heaven sounds like a warm bath. Right? Dying with a smile is not meant as a cloak of love that covers sorrow, disappointment and struggle. But it is meant as an invitation to prepare yourself for the next soul journey with love for yourself and curiosity. Dying means to me that the soul travels on without a physical body. It is helpful when you mentally prepare yourself for the journey that is to come.


I feel an inner call to restore the rituals and attention surrounding death. To guide you with everything that concerns you in the phase towards a birth in heaven. As a spiritual guide, I stand by you when you experience loneliness and I listen to everything that concerns you. Nothing is strange. We talk according to your course about life questions and meaning during the farewell to a life on earth. It is my heart's desire that you experience it as a special time and that you continue your journey with peace of mind.



Hospice experience:


A Russian woman is brought in and speaks only her native language. I immediately sense her loneliness and ask if I, as a novice volunteer in the hospice, can sit at her bedside. The nursing staff agrees. I sit down next to the woman who is telling her story and crying buckets of tears. I reassure her, dry her tears, give her a hand massage and say the words: 'everything is fine, I'm here'. She slowly becomes calm and I see her sink into her body. Her whole being relaxes. She closes her eyes and I still hold her hand. In this way we are present... in silence. In the timeless field.


I am especially grateful that I was able to share this very first experience of a dying process with her. It made a great impression on me.

Course Light on Dying


In 2021 I enjoyed taking the 'Light on Dying' course at Anna Sofia van HooijdonkShe is the author of the book of the same name and has decades of experience as a specialized nurse in spiritual end-of-life care. From her I was able to learn what the process of dying brings about. Both for the dying person and the loved ones who say goodbye.


Spiritual Training Master


The Spiritual Master training of Patty Harpenau has been a godsend to me, because it taught me so much about the path and growth of the soul. Patty is the author of over 50 books on life science and spirituality. Spiritual Master is a training and is about soulsurfing (the intelligence of the soul), heart surfing (the intelligence of the heart) and brainsurfing (the intelligence of the brain)
