End-of-life looks like this to a lot of people.
But it doesn't have to.
Our Story
A proven and compassionate social entreprenuer
Birdie Cunningham, MA
Founder
Twenty years of experience in public health developing and implementing programs, interventions and outreach for health, wellness and behavior change. Throughout my career I've also learned the art of compassion through advanced study in traditional and non-traditional spiritual settings as it applies to a wide spectrum of individuals. As I'm a life-long learner, and I've come to a place where I feel most called in helping people continue being the best versions of themselves, even through death. I received my End of Doula training through INELDA the International End of Life Doula Association and I volunteer at Allina Hospice. I'm a believer that everyone deserves a beautiful death, and driven to assist others in finding the beauty and love through the pain, unknown, and stillness that death and grief can bring. To share in these experiences and provide expertise is an honor and gift. To that end, I founded End of Life Consulting to bring my skills into three focus areas.
