What people have to say
"Thank you for delivering your fantastic workshop. It’s so important to start the conversation about death and dying. It is possible to have a good death and so important for loved ones. When my mother died recently, I remembered what I had learnt at your workshop about making the dying person more comfortable. I had the confidence to take in her favourite scent and played her favourite music, filling the hospital room with comfort and love."
"The high quality of the training has enabled and equipped colleagues to feel more confident and informed in supporting Carers care for person is nearing the end of life. The impact has developed colleagues both professionally and personally, with their health and wellbeing, both at home and within the workplace. Recently a new inductee, who is also a health professional, stated how fantastic your work is and the value of it is immeasurable."
