Krista shares her story with The Mirror newspaper

Krista has opened up about her role as a Soul Midwife, caring for those at the end-of-their life and helping them through the ‘dying stages’ to have a ‘good death’

Coming up with a birth plan is very common – but it’s a lot rarer to sort one for your death.

Soul Midwife appointed at The Mulberry Centre

This is a fantastic Centre whose mission is to improve the lives of anyone affected by cancer, including those with a diagnosis, carers, family members and bereaved relatives, by enhancing emotional, psychological and physical well-being.

To this end I have the great honour of being appointed as their Soul Midwife in residence. Going forward I will be working, through the Mulberry Centre, with those who have an end-of-life diagnosis.

It is wonderful to see, and to experience, Soul Midwifery taking its full place in support of those at end of life.

Clandon Natural Burial Site - Coffin Club

Core to the thinking behind Clandon Wood is the creation of a place of beauty and openness where those left behind will want to come and spend time to reflect and remember for generations to come.

I was invited to talk about Soul Midwifery for the Coffin Club Surrey which was held at this wonderful venue and I enjoyed talking to this well attended event.

‘We welcomed Krista at our Coffin Club Surrey course recently and all those attending were captivated by her talk. We had booked her to outline what a Soul Midwife can bring to those at the end of life but she was so much more than that and I know we will use her and her wisdom for many more of our sessions in the future. Thank you Krista for reminding us why we do what we do.’
