Hello! I am a loving mom, daughter, artist, gardener, death doula and caregiver! I am an experienced care worker and death doula (a caring end of life support), who has worked intimately with both elders and adults with disabilities. I also cared for my mom for 2+ years and worked with young people in the field of art education for 20+ years. Through this work I came to believe deeply in everyone's inherent beauty, value, joy and autonomy. I treat my elders as well as youth with the same dignity, thoughtfulness, humor, respect and kindness that each of us deserves. I look forward to working with you to see how I can support your specific needs and interests! :) Thanks so much for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you!

There are not enough words to express how wonderful Katherine is and how grateful I am to have found her. My mother needed help when her eyesight got worse, so I hired Katherine to help with things like ordering groceries, signing checks, help with bills, making appointments and driving her when needed. She really clicked with my mom and they became close friends. Katherine is also a death doula, something I didn't expect we'd need but sadly my mom's health deteriorated. In her last few weeks of life, Katherine made herself available for my mom (and for me as I live out of state with small children) and was such a comfort for both of us. She was an advocate for my mom's needs in the hospital, and had the hard conversations about death that I was too scared and sad to address. She became a surrogate family member and friend in a time when support was needed the most. I very highly recommend Katherine as caregiver. I also really appreciated her knowledge and practice as a death doula - something I knew nothing about but am thankful for her experience during that difficult time. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
