SOUL MIDWIFE
Written by Lola Narawa on March 24, 2023
Krista Hughes, from Surrey, has been working as a Soul Midwife for the last nine years but says dying people have been drawn to her since she was very young.
The 61-year-old feels she has a connection with those reaching the end of their life and has always known she wanted to do something to help, feeling as if it “was in her DNA”.
As such she trained with Felicity Warner, the founder of the Soul Midwives School, and now works with The Mulberry Centre at West Middlesex University Hospital, bridging a gap between clinical and holistic care. Her role here involves supporting strangers through their ‘dying time’ using her knowledge of the different stages of the dying process to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual assistance.
