Connections made with thousands in death and grief
"The content just made so much sense. So relevant to both our professional and personal lives. I loved all that was covered today and gained a new perspective about death and the discussions around it. Katie has a unique ability to make conversations around death, dying and grief feel safe, honest and deeply human"
Regional Care Manager -
Hallmark Luxury Care
Death, dying and grief touch every one of us, yet so many people feel unprepared to have these conversations or know where to turn for support.
Through my work as a Soul Midwife, Funeral Celebrant, Death Educator and Consultant, I help individuals, families and professionals approach these experiences with greater confidence, compassion and understanding.
Whether I’m supporting someone at the end of life, creating a meaningful farewell, delivering training or speaking to organisations, my aim is always the same: to make death and dying more human and less clinical.
Masterclass Attendee
Funeral Professional
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Katie for delivering such an outstanding Masterclass. Her knowledge, passion, warmth, and generosity shone through from start to finish. She created an environment that was engaging, supportive, and inspiring, and I came away feeling both motivated and better equipped in my role as a celebrant an only son, Husband, a father grandfather.
Katie has a remarkable ability to connect with people and share her expertise in a way that is both professional and deeply personal.
Today has been, without question, one of the best CPD experiences I have ever had.
Funeral Family
I can’t praise Katie enough she was so kind, helpful and professional. She designed the order of service and sent them to the printers for me and she helped put together a very moving and loving tribute for my husband from my children and friends and family and myself. She also gave us kind words of comfort in the days after we lost our loved one the service was the best one we could of ever hoped for so I thank Katie from the bottom of my heart for all her hard work and friendship she had shown us

I’m so grateful for this coaching container, for Katie’s heartfelt support, and for the encouragement of the group. Katie champions each of us and genuinely wants the very best for everyone. Her care, knowledge, and unwavering belief in me, alongside the support, wisdom, and connection within the group, have been incredibly meaningful and have made all the difference to this experience, I’ve been able to believe in myself again and recognise the value of what I have to offer. It has given me the confidence to create a meaningful, heart-led practice that supports individuals at the end of their lives. I’m deeply grateful for the encouragement, inspiration, and sense of community that has helped me get to this point.
