Death Doula & Ritual Healing Practitioner
Sarah Kerr, PhD, has been a death doula, ritual healing practitioner, and trainer since 2012. Her work helps dying people and their families connect with each other, and with the innate wisdom of the dying process.
Sarah’s approach draws on nature-based spirituality, sacred sciences, and the richness of the human soul. She designs and facilitates ceremonies that help her clients to integrate experiences of death, loss, and transformation.

As a teacher and mentor to emerging death doulas, Sarah supports her students to find the unique healing gift they carry, and to make it available to their communities. Sarah facilitates private and public healing rituals, and regularly presents on topics of holistic death care, life, loss, and transition.
