Inelda Doula certificationinelda is committed to helping establish a meaningful credential that lets prospective clients, communities or organizations know that you have the knowledge and skill to serve them well. End-of-life Doula certification is a statement about your competence and experience. It is one way to tell people you are ready to journey with them in deeply meaningful ways and to bring great comfort to the dying and their circle of support. It also informs organizations that you can support them as they support the dying. In 2023, 95 inelda-trained doulas entered into the certification program.
Inelda class offerings are designed as a multi-session learning experience. Learners have the opportunity to explore topics around deathcare that they may have either touched on in an inelda end-of-life Doula training, decide that a class is a great compendium for another training they took, or even a way to dive into this work.in 2023, inelda offered three classes. They were a grief class, Life writing class and a dementia class.
