Meet rev
Em Mamabear McGowan.
If you are drawn to 'End-of-Life Doula' there is no "right path" to follow. Its been my strong belief since my own beginnings, that this path finds YOU and that you must express it uniquely or you won't be able to sustain the work.
I'm the luckiest person on the planet to meet and work with people like her everyday. She's in Portugal tearing it up, doing her thing her way and beautifully so. She's built a sanctuary, has a podcast (interviews amazing people like Stephen Jenkinson), serves the public and is an all around trailblazer. Well Done. - Deanna Flores Cochran

Personal growth and professional success
My work grows from lived experience, recovery, disability, and developing fear less living, from a deep commitment to re designing life in alignment with my core values; compassion, equanimity, and care.
I trained hard, I have studied ever since, to weave science and ancient wisdom into my lived daily practice. This taught me how to live my life around safety, limits and truth, rather than productivity or performance.
This embodied shift brought me home, to myself, and building Creative Rootz, a safe sustainable space to guide others who have experienced more than enough fear and pain, as they alchemise that, into a life worth living.
