TLC Tender Loving End Of Life Care Training
- A Soul Midwife inspired training day with Catherine Connolly
Compassionate skills for supporting the dying.

"TLC gives people the tools to bring death back into life with tenderness, clarity, and purpose."
​​​What Is TLC?
Tender Loving Care (TLC) Training empowers carers—professional and personal—to offer deeply compassionate, personalised, and holistic support to those at the end of life.
Created by Felicity Warner, founder of the internationally respected Soul Midwife Movement, TLC is a simplified, practical version of soul midwifery training suitable for all care settings.
Whether you’re a nurse, carer, therapist, counsellor, or family member supporting a loved one, this training will help you become more confident, connected, and grounded in your approach.

“A good death is an extraordinary, moving and sacred experience.”
