ASSISTANT INSTRUCTORS

Constance Miles headshotConstance Miles, RN, MA (Counseling Psychology), Birth Midwife (37 years), Certified Death Midwife and End of Life Doula, Poetess and Celebrant
Constance birthed her four daughters at home and midwifed her eldest and youngest during the homebirths of her six granddaughters. Transitioning from birth work to end of life work was a natural segue, after midwifing her son by marriage through his final journey and removing her mom from life support. Both events inspired original poems which grew into her self-published collection, Lamentations: Grief and Remembrance.
As a registered nurse, Constance has worked in a multitude of settings. She offers deep listening, a compassionate presence and a quirky sense of humor. She is on the Final Passages Core Council and has guided many home funerals. She is also a member of the SoCoElda (Sonoma County End of Life Doula Alliance).
She cherishes being a Nana, gardener, poet and dancer.
Manena Harper BA, Minister, End-of-Life Doula, Caregiver & Concierge, Celebrant and Home Funeral Guide.
Manena created Heart Centered Memorials following graduation from the Final Passages Certificate program. She then interned with Jerrigrace Lyons for two years. She has a diverse business background including managing a non-profit free clinic in Santa Monica, California that was featured on 60 minutes and 20/20. She was her husband’s end of life caregiver, and directed and facilitated his home funeral.
Manena has been a caregiver for the past 15 years and has been involved in death care and education since 1974. She has facilitated many home funerals, memorial services as well as supporting clients with MAID, (Medical Aid in Dying). She has her own Personal Concierge/Assistant business and is a member of the Final Passages Core Council.

Level 3 includes a certificate of completion for our death midwifery and home funeral guidance program.

For local graduates, ask about Internship options. Jerrigrace is usually available by telephone to assist any graduates with a home funeral.

It was an honor to receive your sharing and teaching us about your work, your calling to it, and of yourself. For myself, I think most of all I appreciate your realness and being just plain comfortable with not only this work, but your place in it all. Thank you for that. The sense of ease you and Mark model is perhaps the best lesson of them all. With gratitude to you both — Sheila
