TLC (Tender Loving Care) Days

TLC training is a practical-based offshoot of Soul Midwifery, designed to make some of the basic skills of Soul Midwifery, or End of Life compassionate companionship, easily accessible to all.

The gentle, loving, simple TLC skills you will learn can be used in any context – the home, hospice, care home, hospital, death café, workshop, within palliative services…TLC helps you to be with people who are dying – and to make a difference.

What does a TLC Day include?

‘A good death is an extraordinary, moving and sacred experience. It can also have a healing quality, not only for the person involved but their families, friends and the wider community.’ (Felicity Warner, Soul Midwives and TLC Founder)

Who are TLC Days for?

The TLC Day is suitable for anyone who is interested in finding out more about the dying process and about how to support a person who is near, or at, the end of life.

Individuals

TLC was especially designed to give extra tools in the ‘caring toolbox’ to carers, family and friends who work with people who are dying, or who find themselves caring for someone at end of life.

Although attending a TLC Day does not enable you to become a Soul Midwife, if you are interested in doing Soul Midwifery training, attendance at a TLC Day is equivalent to attendance at a Soul Midwifery Introductory Day – the first step towards training as a Soul Midwife.

Organisations

TLC is aimed at enhancing existing caring skills as well as empowering carers to tune into their innate knowing about how to care for a dying person.

If you work within any care setting – for a care agency, or in a care home – TLC Days can give you more confidence in caring for those approaching end of life.

TLC Days Commissioned by Soul Midwives Scotland

We offer occasional TLC Days commissioned by Soul Midwives Scotland – a chance for you to work with one of our TLC Tutors on a TLC Day funded through our ‘pay it forward’ model, or by other generous funders.

On these TLC Days, we invite donations from participants. Please see below for details of our next commissioned TLC Day.
