Get startedLearn how to tend to the dying and ease their transition with prayers, presence, and powerful oils for soul care, as the Myrrhophores (temple priestesses) did long before the advent of hospitals and hospices.
Bring beauty and meaning to those transitioning from this life — not just as a healer or supportive family member, but as a modern-day Myrrhophore, using love, rituals, and the anointing of ancient sacred oils.
When someone you love — or a patient or client — is dying, you may feel there’s nothing you can do to help.
You hold their hand, whisper kind words, say prayers, and hope your presence is enough — but still, it can feel like you’re standing on the shore, watching someone drift away without any way to reach them.
You weren’t given tools for this or invited to step into your power as a steward of life’s greatest transition.
But now you can. There is a way to guide someone through this most sacred of passages, shares end-of-life doula Felicity Warner.
It’s rooted in an ancient, closed-lineage tradition passed down from temple priestesses known as Myrrhophores — healers who work with sacred oils in spiritual, ritual, and healing practices.
The word itself comes from myrrh — a revered and aromatic resin used for millennia in sacred rites, embalming, and anointing — and phore, meaning “bearer” or “carrier.”
Felicity is a pioneer in the modern soul midwifery movement and the founder of the Soul Midwives School. Embark on her enriching 7-module journey designed to initiate you into the ancient art of working with sacred oils through the lineage of the myrrhophores.
As you learn to anoint and support others through death, you’ll also undergo your own transformation — becoming a vessel of light, healing, and deep spiritual wisdom.
These aren’t oils you put in a diffuser or massage into someone’s skin. This is not modern aromatherapy. This is sacred priestess work. Soul midwife work. Energetic medicine passed down through generations, rooted in oral transmission that predates even the Egyptians.
Felicity’s groundbreaking approach has redefined how we care for the dying — bringing sacredness, compassion, and holistic support back into the heart of the dying process.
Having trained thousands of soul midwives around the world, Felicity is known for her deep wisdom, gentle presence, and ability to translate ancient practices into accessible, soul-led teachings.
She shares that each sacred oil carries its own frequency — a kind of soul note — that weaves directly into the light body of the person transitioning. It’s this resonance that allows deep rebalancing, realignment, and healing to take place, even at the threshold of death.
You’ll learn how to become a clear vessel for these frequencies by working with your own energy first — clearing, opening, and attuning your body and heart to be able to transmit the medicine of these oils — because before you can support another through their final transition, you must be able to hold yourself in light and love.
You’ll move through the elemental stages of dying — earth, water, fire, and air — and be introduced to the specific sacred oils that support each phase.
Discover little-known but powerful oils like fragonia, which helps restore balance when someone feels physically or emotionally wobbly. Experience niaouli, a potent guide through the fire phase, when the ego dissolves and the dark night of the soul emerges. Connect with elemi, the oil of transcendence, a luminous bridge between this world and the next.
Each module guides you through a meditation to connect with the spirit of each oil — even if you don’t physically have the oil. That’s the beauty of this work — the energy of the oil is always available. You’ll learn how to feel it, call it in, and work with it from anywhere.
Discover how to set sacred space, communicate soul-to-soul, and see death not as an ending, but a continuation of the soul’s eternal journey.
Explore how to create simple yet powerful rituals for anointing the dying and the newly departed, and how to offer this sacred work to yourself as a path of healing, initiation, and transformation through any of life’s transitions.
The path of the Myrrhophore deepens your spiritual gifts, attuning to the frequencies of release, transcendence, and peace.
You’ll also learn how to recognize the subtle signs that someone is entering a new phase of the dying process, choose the right oil to support them energetically, and hold loving, therapeutic space even when there are no words left to say.
During this soul-stirring course, you’ll:
- Be guided through meditations and rituals that help you feel the energetic power of sacred oils in your own body
- Recognize how to use anointing practices rooted in ancient traditions to support the dying with comfort, presence, and love
- Understand the psycho-spiritual stages of death and how they correspond to the elements — earth, water, fire, and air
- Discover how to select and work with high- and low-frequency oils to soothe fear, ease agitation, and elevate consciousness
- Prepare yourself as a vessel of light so you can transmit healing energy through your touch with clarity and confidence
- Create personalized anointing blends that reflect the soul essence of the person transitioning
- Gain tools to support emotional release, soul healing, and ego dissolution during the dying process
- Learn how to care for the newly departed by setting sacred space, practicing soul-to-soul communication, and witnessing the light body after death
- And much more...
This course is for soul midwives, caregivers, spiritual seekers, and anyone drawn to serve at the threshold of life and death. It’s also for those going through any kind of transition — because sacred oils work not only with death, but with all passages of release, surrender, and transformation.
There comes a moment in every life when the veil thins, the breath slows, and the soul begins to cross beyond the veil.
With the sacred oils and the teachings of the Myrrhophores, you’ll know how to meet that moment with reverence, clarity, and a sacred toolkit drawn from a lineage few even know exists.
You’ll be able to say, I am here, and you are not alone.

Module 1: Anoint With Purpose to Bring Wholeness, Completion & Peace to the Dying
For thousands of years, sacred oils have played a vital role in helping people cross the threshold between life and death with grace, peace, and dignity.
Reconnect with the ancient wisdom of the Myrrhophores — temple priestesses who used oils like myrrh in sacred anointing rituals to bring energetic wholeness to the dying.
Learn how these powerful yet simple techniques are making a comeback in modern end-of-life care, offering comfort, presence, and soul-level healing.
Dying isn’t a single moment — it’s a subtle and spiritual unfolding. When approached with reverence and love, these ancient practices can help restore wholeness to those transitioning, repairing the cracks left by a lifetime of pain or trauma.
Discover how intention and ritual transform aromatic oils into sacred tools — and how you, too, can use them to bring beauty and meaning to the final moments of life.
In this module, you’ll:
- Be guided through an experiential anointing meditation to feel how different points on your own body respond to sacred oils
- Learn who the Myrrhophores were and how their sacred death work is being remembered and revived
- Explore what makes an oil “sacred” and how intention turns a simple act into a holy one
- Discover how ancient anointing rituals are being woven into modern end-of-life care practices
- Get to know the specific oils we’ll be working with — and why they matter for physical, emotional, and energetic peace
Module 2: Channel the Energies of Sacred Oils to Relieve Distress and Elevate the Spirit
Sacred oils are more than aromatic blends — they’re living frequencies, carrying the light and intelligence of the plant world.
Myrrhophores consider them master teachers, holding the divine spark that communicates directly with the energetic body.
Learn how each oil carries its own vibration and how to work with that frequency to harmonize, ground, or elevate the energy of someone in transition.
Explore how energy blocks — from physical pain, fear, or unprocessed emotion — can be gently shifted through the intentional use of sacred oils.
Gain a deeper understanding of your role as a vessel of light, preparing your hands and heart to become conduits for healing. This is about understanding the energetic mechanics behind the ritual — so you’re not just hoping it works, you know why it does.
In this module, you’ll:
- Experience a self-anointing ritual that prepares your hands as channels of healing energy
- Learn how to sense and choose the right oil to support a dying person’s energetic needs
- Prepare your body and spirit to serve as a grounded vessel for transmitting light and love
- Discover the difference between high- and low-frequency oils and how to use both
- Practice the energetic technique of transferring oil frequency through your touch to soothe anxiety, distress, and energetic dissonance
Module 3: Release the Earth Element & Begin the Journey Home With Sacred Oils That Support Letting Go
As the dying process begins, subtle shifts take place in the energy field — shifts that are often overlooked, but profoundly shape how the transition unfolds.
Focus on the first psycho-spiritual stage of dying: when the earth element begins to withdraw.
This stage can leave a person feeling physically drained, ungrounded, and spiritually adrift. But with the support of sacred oils like fragonia and mai chang, learn how to gently restore flow and harmony.
These oils offer gifts that go beyond aroma — they help loosen the ties that bind us to the physical world and ease us into what comes next.
Whether someone is dying slowly or suddenly, these elemental stages still occur. Begin to recognize and respond to them with compassion and confidence.
In this module, you’ll:
- Experience a meditation with fragonia to feel how it supports balance and calm during the earth stage of dying
- Understand the first psycho-spiritual phase of the dying journey and what energetic changes arise
- Learn how to use fragonia and mai chang in ritual and meditation to support grounding and release
- Explore how thoughts, dreams, and emotions begin to shift as we loosen our grip on life
- Begin to embrace this stage as a meaningful part of the journey — one filled with strength, presence, and grace
Module 4: Soothe the Spirit & Heal Deep Soul Wounds by Flowing With the Water Element
Move deeper into the dying process, and enter the water phase — a time of deep reflection, emotional excavation, and soul-level healing.
This stage invites a return to the past, where memories arise like waves — childhood moments, family bonds, past relationships, unresolved pain, and buried emotions. These are not just memories, they are invitations.
Explore how to meet the soul’s hidden wounds with compassion, how to gently surface what’s been suppressed, and how to help release the weight of unresolved trauma.
The sacred oil ravensara serves as a wise and gentle guide through these waters, supporting emotional healing without the heaviness of re-traumatization.
Learn how to work with it intuitively and therapeutically to help the dying let go of what no longer serves their soul’s journey.
In this module, you’ll:
- Be guided through a meditation with ravensara to connect with its healing frequency and feel the emotional unburdening it offers
- Learn how to recognize and gently release hidden aspects of the shadow self
- Support the emergence and healing of soul wounds so they can be honored and released
- Help reconcile fragmented parts of the psyche and bring harmony to inner contradictions
- Gain an understanding of the water stage of dying as a soulful process of letting go, forgiving, and flowing into emotional wholeness
Module 5: Transmute Darkness Into Light Through the Fire of the Soul
The fire stage is the soul’s ultimate crucible — the moment when everything that no longer serves is burned away.
In this intense and transformational phase, the ego dissolves, the past falls away, and the soul confronts the raw truth of itself. This is the dark night of the soul.
It can be agitating, emotional, and profoundly challenging for the person transitioning — and for those supporting them. But through this heat comes transmutation.
Explore how to work with the potent sacred oil niaouli — a fierce and luminous ally that helps dissolve the false self and illuminate the true essence within.
Even holding the bottle can stir something within you. It’s not easy work, but it’s holy work. When supported with love and intention, this fire refines the soul into something pure, radiant, and free.
In this module, you’ll:
- Be guided through a meditation with niaouli to experience its fierce, purifying energy and connect with the essence of the fire stage
- Learn how to hold space for someone experiencing the dark night of the soul without trying to “fix” or rush their process
- Witness the ego’s unraveling and how to support its dissolution with steadiness and love
- Understand what it means to become a “husk” — shedding the dross to reveal the luminous core
- Discover how this stage, though difficult, offers the soul a profound gift of transformation and truth
Module 6: Support the Final Breath With Sacred Air Oil to Ease the Transition Into Pure Consciousness
In the final phase of dying, the breath becomes softer and slower, until it dissolves altogether.
This is the stage of air — the lightest, most ethereal element — when consciousness begins to expand beyond the body.
As the dying person slips into sleep and unconsciousness, something extraordinary begins to happen — a sense of clarity and vastness, a remembering of what they truly are.
Work with the sacred oil elemi, a powerful ally for this stage. Elemi helps bring comfort and reassurance to both the dying and their loved ones, creating a sense of ease and awe as the soul prepares to release fully into pure, ecstatic awareness.
This oil isn’t just for anointing—it’s for witnessing the sacred. Explore the deeply personal practice of creating a custom oil blend that reflects the unique frequency of the soul preparing to depart.
In this module, you’ll:
- Be guided through a meditation with elemi to experience its expansive, comforting frequency for yourself
- Learn how to ease the transition into higher states of consciousness through scent, breath, and intention
- Explore the mystery of near-death and shared-death experiences as glimpses into expanded awareness
- Create a personalized anointing oil that reflects the essence of the person passing
- Discover how to anoint the body in the final hours to help guide the soul into release with grace and love
Module 7: Create Sacred Space for the Soul's Passage With Love, Ritual, and Sacred Oil
Death is not the end — it’s a return. A return to who we truly are and what we’ve always been.
Explore the sacred act of supporting a soul just after they’ve left the body. Far from being a moment to rush through, this is a holy pause — an invitation to slow down, open your heart, and offer love, presence, and care.
Work with the deeply mystical oil spikenard, used by Mary Magdalene to anoint Jesus before his death, and learn how this sacred oil helps ease the soul’s passage and open the way toward what lies beyond.
Discover how to set sacred space, communicate soul-to-soul, and see death not as an ending, but as a continuation of the soul’s eternal journey.
This is how we honor both the dying and the living — with devotion, beauty, and love.
In this module, you’ll:
- Be led through a meditation to assist a soul across the sacred threshold and gently return to yourself
- Learn how to care for the newly dead with reverence, intention, and spaciousness
- Work with spikenard to create a loving ritual of anointing and release
- Practice soul-to-soul communication to offer comfort and closure
- Discover how to set a sacred altar and recognize the presence of the light body in the moments after death
