Soul Midwife, Funeral Celebrant and CPD Accredited Death Educator, Katie Costello End of Life Support Services
Following a long career in care, I soon realised that End of Life care was where my heart and soul belonged. Being at someone's bedside as they took their last breath seemed the most natural thing in the world for me to do. This isn't just a job to me, this is part of who I am. I have vast experience in Domiciliary and Palliative care and as well as being a Soul Midwife, I currently work part time at my local hospice. I offer a wide range of End of Life support in the community, in Hospices, Care Homes and Hospitals and also for local businesses. My voice is my superpower, I speak from the heart in everything I do and I am truly committed to this work, before, during, and after Death. I am an advocate for choice and autonomy at end of life and am an active and passionate death educator in my community, and online. I do this through my social media channels and accredited death and dying education programmes and documents. Having completed all my training at the Soul Midwives School in Dorset with Felicity Warner, I am Level 1 and 2 qualified and actively work around Sussex and the South East. I am also a Soul Midwife Mentor and TLC Trainer. I am also an Angelic Reiki Practitioner. I hold multiple qualifications including diplomas in End of life and Dementia care and The Care Certificate. I am 'Sage and Thyme' foundation level trained, I have Grief and Bereavement qualifications. Thanks to this work, and my previous 10 year career in Retail Management, I have advanced communication skills and extensive experience in team building, coaching, training, public speaking and personal development. I completed my Independent Funeral Celebrant training and certification with The Academy of Modern Celebrancy in 2021. I completed the Coffin Club Celebrant Plus course in May 2022 I became a member of The CPD Cerification Service and an accredited trainer and course creator, in Summer 2023. I have all relevant insurances, a full clean driving licence and DBS check.
