About Kathy

---

I am deeply committed to easing pain and holding sacred space for those at the end of their life. As a social worker in skilled nursing homes for 30+ years, I have extensive knowledge and experience with end of life care. In 2018 I received my certification as a Sacred Passage End of Life Doula from the Conscious Dying Institute.

Easing my clients’ pain, fears and anxiety is my number one priority. Recognizing that the end of life passage is a sacred endeavor, I feel privileged to ease my client’s burdens. By being deeply present and a gentle guide, I hold sacred space for your last rite of passage.

Known for my caring nature, I form strong bonds with my clients and intuitively guide them and their family and friends through the experience of death and dying in a deeply compassionate manner while honoring their beliefs, culture, and values.
