Dina Symington.

Engage consciously with mortality and impermanence. Make peace with the unknown.

Engage consciously with mortality and impermanence. Make peace with the unknown.

I am deeply humbled by your consideration to embark on this journey with me.

I provide compassionate, integrative and holistic support for individuals and the community through both personalised 1:1 sessions and educational workshops as they navigate life’s deepest transitions - particularly those confronting mortality, chronic illness, or profound grief.

As a doula and guide, my work is non-medical and centers on the emotional, somatic, and existential aspects integral to a meaningful passage. All 1:1 sessions are held online. Workshops and community education may be held virtually or in person.

My services are founded on inclusivity and personalisation, transcending denominational and clinical boundaries. Your spiritual beliefs are held in the highest regard, and we can discuss what support aligns with your needs during our initial consultation.

Thank you for your trust and openness in welcoming me into this deeply personal process.

A Note on My Scope of Practice

To ensure I am providing the best possible support, please note that my practice is dedicated exclusively to Death-Positive Education and Online Existential Integration.

I do not provide clinical nursing, palliative care, or logistical coordination for assisted dying (VAD). My work is focused on the somatic and emotional landscape of mortality, not medical or travel services.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

  • I have been seeing Dina for a few years now. I was grieving the recent death of my husband at the time, and having regular sessions over the last few years has helped guide my journey of healing. Since working with Dina, I have become much more attuned to my own energies plus the energies of those around me. I manage my stress levels much more effectively, and feel a lot happier. More recently I have attended workshops that Dina has been involved in and they have been wonderful. Dina’s manner and professionalism is outstanding and I would highly recommend her. Dina is a beautiful soul and I adore her.

  • I have had 1:1 sessions with Dina and used her Nervous System Reset resources. I love that Dina is so precise with her teachings and helps take you to the next level. More importantly, she has the most soothing voice that instills a sense of calmness that is incomparable to anything else I have experienced. Thank you Dina for having such a profound impact on my life. You are truly one of a kind! I highly recommend having a session with Dina as it could change your life!

  • Dina has a very beautiful touch to her practice, her intuition and guidance always seem to land her right where the work is needed. I feel clear after every time along with an achievable action or goal from the sessions as well. Her ability to reflect what's going on, and support me in shifting into the next (and healthiest) stage of my life is truly a gift. Thank you, Dina! I always feel very supported by you and your innate talent for healing and wellness.

  • I received a lot of confidence, shifts, and downloads from working with Dina. I have been able to uncover and identify many stories, mindsets and beliefs that have been the core of my suffering and pain. She made me feel comfortable instantly, and always allows space to explore, expand and grow. Dina has truly been a guiding beacon by shining the light on my darkness and helping me to understand my path. She offers a safe space free from judgement, and offers exercises that challenge yet soften me, and create immense expansion and transformation.

  • I am grateful for the escape from stress as the Nervous System Reset resources allowed me to connect with myself and let go of things that occupy my mind. I feel more grounded and when I find myself rushing, I am now able to slow down and still be efficient but in a more calm way.
