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 you can often find her singing songs, talking with plants in the garden, putting her toes in the water, and exploring with a lens of curiosity.

Katie is grounded in her crafts as a doula, herbalist, and facilitator. In these and in all her endeavors she strives to maintain culturally responsive atmospheres. Katie’s vast capacity for deeply listening to the needs of any given moment support her showing up in service to the profound portal that is birth. She encourages clients to deepen their relationship with their own intuition and backs them up with the evidence based information she has honed through her robust training. Katie has been facilitating intentional community gatherings since 2019 and deeply enjoys being part of spaces that allow people to feel heard, seen, connected, and held while treading through the many textures of life's terrain.

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 delights in building meaningful human-to-human connections, she also leans in to fostering deep relationships with the plant kingdom. As an organic farmer and trained practicing herbalist, Katie often leans on plants and food as medicine to support herself in times of transition and does the same in service of her clients. Katie has completed herbalism trainings with Sacred Plant Traditions, Commonwealth Herbs, Sage Mountain, the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, and Twin Star Herbs. As an Earth worker, facilitator, 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 training with The Center for Conscious Living and Dying in 2025. She also uplifts and has been undeniably impacted by  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 and postpartum case, grief work, and end of life support.
