Georgina Riel is an Indigenous End-of-Life Doula who practices Ojibwe traditional rights of passage for community members who take their star journey. Whether it's smudging, naming or a ceremonial cedar bath Georgina believes in including community. She says that the hospital and funeral service workers are usually accommodating, but she is clear that there is still room for improvement when it comes to end-of-life from a systems level perspective.

A journey through a life spent on the streets and in jail leads a strong woman to value herself and eventually take her healing into her own hands. Fran is a community knowledge holder and cancer survivor whose story will inspire you to find your inner healer.
