The Healing Boat Inc. is based on the analogy of water being life sustaining and healing, even in death. In life and death, we want to be at the edge of our own lives, gracefully crossing into the unknown, like a boat surrendered to the current of the water.

The work I am doing comes in full gratitude to the Earth and specifically Turtle Island that I live on. The Earth receives all our collective grief and is the first doula of life and death. 

 

As a death doula, I believe not a single person can live and die well on this land without contributing towards truth and reconciliation for all Indigenous peoples. Personally, I want to acknowledge and respect all Indigenous peoples whose traditions have always honoured the dead, the ancestors, long before the Western idea of a death doula came to be. 

Specifically, I want to recognize that I am living on treaty 13 land most recently and in the past home to the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, part of the Anishnaabeg peoples, the Haudenosaunee, Chippewas and Wendat peoples.
