Katie considers herself a "mirth stirrer"; one who is constantly weaving together the silly and the sacred. She lives on Cherokee land in what we refer to as Swannanoa, North Carolina where she tends the Earth and her connection with the Mystery. You can often catch Katie singing songs, putting her toes in the water, or exploring with a lens of curiosity.

Katie is grounded in her crafts as a birth doula, herbalist, and facilitator. In all endeavors she strives to maintain culturally responsive atmospheres. Katie has a vast capacity for deeply listening to the needs of any given moment and she is honored to use this skill in service to the profound portal that is birth. Her work in this field is a reverent celebration of the potency and transformation so often found in the liminal place of bringing a child into the world! She encourages clients to deepen their relationship with their own intuition and backs them up with the trauma-informed, evidence based practices she has honed through her robust training. Katie has been facilitating intentional community gatherings since 2019! She enjoys being in spaces that allow people to feel heard, seen, and held while treading through the many textures of life's terrain. This is one of the many gifts Katie brings forth through her work... an innate desire to listen deeply and share in the full spectrum of meaningful moments. This amplifies her work as a doula assuring that you are informed, cared for, nourished, striving to foster a felt sense of connection.

Katie has been immersed in study of the Life/Death/Rebirth cycles for over a decade. She began supporting births as a doula in 2021 and regularly pursues professional and personal development to enrich her offerings. As much as Katie thrives building meaningful human-to-human connections, she also fosters deep relationships with the plant kingdom. As an organic farmer and trained practicing herbalist, she supports clients with nutritional recommendations and herbal allies for all phases of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Katie often leans on plants to support herself in times of transition and does the same in service of her clients. Katie has walked the plant path for nearly a decade. She completed herbalism trainings with Sacred Plant Traditions, Commonwealth Herbs, Sage Mountain, the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, and Twin Star Herbs. Through her work as and Earth worker, a keeper of songs, a doula, and more, Katie often stands guard at the gates between life, death, and rebirth. She is humbled to get to be a pillar of these passageways, and reverently celebrates the potency and transformation that is so often found in these liminal places.

She has a Bachelors in Education and Peace and Justice Studies from Regis University in Denver, CO. Further education includes birth doula training from DONA International in 2021, and Direct Care Volunteer training with The Center for Conscious Living and Dying in 2025. She also has close ties with The Institute for the Study of Birth Breath and Death where she has deepened studies in the realms of holding space for pregnancy loss, birth doula support, grief work, postpartum care and end of life support.
