I’m Mariana, the creator of Mortality Navigator.
I have spent years walking alongside people and families during the final stages of life both as a trained palliative care volunteer and through my own lived experience. My background blends formal study and practical care:
- Diploma in Professional Counselling (AIPC) with a focus on child development, grief and loss
- Certified Death Doula (Preparing the Way, Intensive Course)
- Volunteer with Palliative Care ACT since 2020, providing home-based emotional and practical support
- Experience guiding families through the realities of end of life care at home, bridging the gap between medical teams and what carers actually need day to day
I created this course because I saw the same gap again and again: carers overwhelmed not from lack of compassion, but from lack of clear, honest, practical guidance.
Mortality Navigator was designed to fill that gap.
Giving you the knowledge and confidence to care at home when it matters most.

Ready to show up with steadiness, compassion and less fear?
In Australia, there are excellent services for health professionals and information sheets for families, but there is very little practical, step by step guidance for the everyday carer at home.
Mortality Navigator fills that gap.
