Moving the conversation about death and dying from fear to empowerment

I'm Donna Foster, owner of Maven Bridge and founder of Mortal Me. Maven Bridge started originally as a strategic advisory and has noe became my End-of-Life education practice. Mortal Me is my brand for workshops and an end-of-life planning platform.

My career of 30+ years was in corporate and government but as for many, I felt it was time for a change.

Moving into death felt natural and I know it is where I need to be. Helping to move conversations about death and dying from fear to empowerment is at the heart of my work. I commenced my journey started as a funeral celebrant and touched on Doula training to finding where I felt I could make a difference - becoming a licenced Willow EOL educator and developing End-of-Life workshops that put the person first, we start with values not assets!

I created Mortal Me - the online end-of-life planning tool to provide a journey rather than a checklist. To provide a place that focuses on the person - their life, their stories and memories and then the instructions. It puts the person first not the assets! It is free, easy to use and safe.

Maven Bridge is a social enterprise and that allows me to give back to community and to be a part of an amazing network of businesses who put people and planet at the heart of their organisation.
