Eva & Alma

Rachael Carter is the founder of wellbeing brand 'Eva & Alma' and the end of life Soul Doula® training programme.

About Rachael

After her Nan died, Rachael decided to support the local Hospice who took care of her as a 'thank you' from the family. 

She started there in Jan 2013 just a few hours a week which then turned into a realisation that she was born to guide people who were dying to release soul wounds and find calm on their journey before they left. 

She then trained in various qualifications in death care, holistic tools, psychology, energy healing and spiritual life coaching and also became an accredited Somatic Practitioner. 

For 9 years she supported hundreds of people as they journeyed through their death before creating the IPHM accredited Soul Doula® training programme in 2022. 

Her inspiration came from her Nan's journey and all of the wonderful souls who chose her to support them since. 

Rachael's Approach

Rachael's approach combines practical end-of-life education with deep personal development and transformation.  This ensures that students not only understand the role of a Soul Doula®, but also cultivate the presence, self-awareness and emotional maturity needed to hold space for others.

Throughout the 6 months journey, students are encouraged to explore their own relationship with life, death & mortality - this ensure they have embodied authenticity in their work.

There is also a pre-assessment to ensure each student is ready to dive deep into the world of emotional, energetic and spiritual realms of death care.

Rachael's Passion

Rachael's passion is her vision. 

The vision she has to ensure people who are dying have more choice about the non-medical care they receive.

To reduce the effects of 'Total Pain' (when pain steps into the emotional and spiritual realms on the journey) and to empower more people to be fully present on the dying journey and see death as a part of life. 

To not remove grief as it is a part of the human experience, but to reduce trauma on the journey.

The Soul Doula® training programme is dedicated to every single person she has supported on their journey.  Who taught her so much about life, about what matters at the end and allowed her to journey with them. The dying have always been her greatest teachers.
