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 Great Spirit. You can often catch Katie singing songs, putting her toes in the water, or engaging with the mystery through a lens of curiosity.

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. She is quite proud of her abundant trainings and lived understanding regarding the creation of culturally responsive atmospheres, and puts a lot of energy towards learning from her own ancestral lineages.

Katie began facilitating women's groups in 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. As much as she loves building rich connections with people, she equally loves building relationship with plants. She 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 and is set to complete a 175 hour Herbalism certificate course with Twin Star Herbs in the fall of 2025.

Through her work as an organic farmer of many seasons, 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.
