Jude is a Ritual Artist as well as a facilitator for a variety of healing spaces and journeys.  

Her work as an End-of-Life Doula, facilitator, and educator, inspired her to create HELD’s™ doula training program.  HELD™ Doulas are trained in techniques that enable them to hold space for clients as they assist them (and their families) in working through the challenges they face during various transitional phases associated with end of life.  HELD™ End of Life Doulas are well-versed in meeting clients where they are, and have the ability to guide them to a place of grounded clarity.

HELD™ Doulas are trained to listen, and to bring a gentle strength to the uncertain space that we call end of life. Jude also offers End-of-Life Trainings for various hospices and hospitals in the Utah area.
