Cait Madden

Cait Madden is a death doula. Trained by the renowned death doula Alua Arthur, Cait’s approach to death is open, non-judgmental, fresh, and positive. Her own life experiences with death brought her to this work – two deaths in two months when she was in her twenties: the suicide of a dear friend and the death of her grandfather whom she was fortunate to assist through his final days. Through grief (and subsequent death anxiety) she was driven to seek new ways of thinking about death.

 Giving to her community is important to Cait. She has a passion to support and educate on the sacred process of death, dying, and grief, presenting the facts in a way that doesn’t feel sad, dark, or morbid. She also has a passion for modalities of energy work that help our physical, emotional, and mental bodies — while experiencing this precious life we experience the human condition. Through her own journey with energy work, the peace she has experienced she strives to extend to others, hands on, hands off, virtual, or otherwise. She holds space for all religions, races, sex, genders, and creeds.

Cait is a member of NEDA (National End of Life Doula Alliance) and NHFA (National Home Funeral Alliance). She also volunteers with hospice, serves on the National End of Life Doula Alliance’s ICC committee, and is currently offering a FREE e-book to learn more about death workers and what it means to hire one and/or become one.

Cait will be providing instruction and guidance during our Dying to Live retreat.
