Lisa Potter - End of Life Celebrant & Death Doula Get Coaching Podcast with Jessica Palmer

Upon the death of her sister, Lisa realised that she had ‘midwifed’ her through the end of life stages, through a terminal illness diagnosis, treatment options, holistic care, bedside vigiling, funeral preparation and a home wake. There was great clarity that the entire journey could be supported, the transition from life to death to after life. The experience of this caregiving journey has been documented in Lisa’s book, Many Rivers to Cross.
In her current role, Lisa serves to educate and support her community in dealing with end of life processes. This includes providing services as an end of life doula, a death educator and mentor, a life transition celebrant for funeral and memorial services and supporting others through individual grief and loss journeys.
Lisa has a Diploma of Counselling, a post graduate qualification in palliative care and is a current member of the Australian Funeral Celebrants Association. Lisa has worked previously as a Funeral Director, volunteered with hospice, volunteers with a not for profit supporting people living with chronic illness, has hosted Death Cafes and consistently upskills with diverse reading, industry relevant training, workshops and professional development.
With a benevolent work ethic, her qualifications, extensive hands on industry experience and unique personal background, Lisa is an exceptional guide to those facing end of life challenges. Lisa sees supporting others at the end of life as the most fulfilling and life affirming role she could ever do.
