Shanti Vani has always wanted to help people who are struggling with life's challenges. She has had plenty of them herself. She came of age in the '60s, married a Vietnam Veteran and birthed four babies in the 70s, had a nervous breakdown, then started a new life in Gainesville Florida with her young children in 1979. She finally got a degree in Respiratory Care in 2008 and worked for eleven years, but was not comfortable in the medical system. After her mother died in 2018, she was trained with INELDA. In 2020 she left her job to pursue End-of-Life Doula work. Shanti was certified by the Grief Recovery Institute in 2020 and her niche is helping people recover from grief. Her business, Transforming Grief, LLC offers individual and group programs both in person and on Zoom. You can reach her at shantivani@cox.net. 352-225-1385. https://shantivani.com or on Facebook.

“My end-of-life support for individuals, families and caregivers,  is shaped by unending education and experience offering care for both the living and the dying. I have been a doula even before my certificate training with the Conscious Dying Institute, where my learning continues and for whom I have worked in various capacities since 2017. I have come to recognize that I had innate doula qualities even as a child. Then, in a single moment in 2017 when I first heard the term conscious dying, I knew I had found a pathway of service to something so important. Conscious dying is about personal choice and expressed wishes in all aspects of the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical realms of illness, aging and dying. It is my work and my honor to guide, support and advocate for such choices and wishes to be realized for every client that I serve.”

My name is Brittney. I am a fearless, powerful, spiritual educator, and writer who liberates and inspires others to live an empowered life and die a dignified death.  As a Death, Transition and Grief Doula, Reiki Practitioner and Educator I honor the sacred act of transitions and death while also creating educational opportunities that are centered around grief, death, and liberation.

After losing three close relatives in a short amount of time, I knew I wanted to birth a tangible space that provided people with grief, transition and death care that was culturally responsive and fostered liberation. I wanted to create a space that provided a variety of supports and outlets for those who want to live well and die a dignified death. Ultimately, I want people to live, die and rest ABUNDANTLY. From this vision I created the Ubuntu Wellness Space!

Sally Gabriel is an End of Life Doula, certified through Doulagivers International, working in the Sarasota area.

I am a volunteer at hospice and founder of Epilogue End of Life Care.
My mission is to provide non-medical support, companionship, advocacy, and education to patients and their loved ones through life’s final chapter. It is my hope that the patients and families with whom I work experience a carefully planned, peaceful, and positive end of life experience.
My experience with caregiving began in 2017 when I cared for my parents, who died that spring. Three years later, I became the primary caregiver for a dying friend. During the months leading to her death, I coordinated and managed her care, carrying out her wishes for her final chapter. The months we spent together were sacred and led me to a calling to help others experience their end of life in this special way.
