About Katie

End-of-Life Doula | Founder of Blessed Pathways
Providing calm, compassionate guidance at the end of life.

Hello, I’m Katie — I’m so glad you’re here.

I created Blessed Pathways to offer meaningful, practical support to individuals and families navigating the final stages of life. This work can feel messy, emotional, and overwhelming — and that’s exactly where I come in.

I like to think of myself as a bit of a chaos coordinator — someone who brings order, calm, and clear direction when things feel uncertain. Whether it’s planning, paperwork, or just being the steady one in the room, I’m here to help make this part of life a little less heavy.

The Support You Didn’t Know You Needed

Most people don’t know what a Death Doula is — until they need one.

As a certified End-of-Life Doula, I offer calm, compassionate guidance for individuals and families facing some of life’s hardest moments. Whether you’re preparing for what’s ahead or already in the middle of it, I’m here to help when it matters most.

That might look like:

  • Talking through end-of-life wishes and concerns

  • Supporting meaningful planning, rituals, or goodbyes

  • Helping you feel more prepared and less overwhelmed

You don’t have to know exactly what you need.
You just have to know you don’t have to do it alone.

My Philosophy

I believe end-of-life support is about showing up — with calm, compassion, and no judgment.

Whether you're planning ahead or already in the middle of it, my role is to help make things feel more manageable, more meaningful, and more aligned with what matters to you.

It’s not about fixing. It’s about listening, honoring, and making sure no one walks this road alone.

After the Goodbye

End-of-life support doesn’t stop at the moment of death.

I also work with families in the days, weeks, and months that follow — when everything feels different and emotions can be hard to navigate. This part of the journey matters, too.

Whether you’re feeling lost, in limbo, or just need someone to talk to, I’m here to help make the after feel a little less overwhelming.


If You’re Here, You’re Not Alone

Whether you're planning ahead, preparing for a loss, or finding your way after one — you don’t have to do it alone.

Blessed Pathways exists to walk with you — through the questions, the planning, the care, and the moments that matter most.
Wherever you are on the path, I’ll meet you there.
