Speaking and Workshops
Bringing compassionate, thought-provoking and engaging conversations about death, dying, grief and end-of-life care to organisations, conferences, workplaces and communities up and down the country.
Why these conversations matter...
Death, dying and grief touch every one of us, yet many people feel unprepared to talk about them.
Through keynote talks, workshops, guest lectures and facilitated conversations, I help individuals, teams and organisations explore these topics in a way that is honest, accessible and deeply human.
Whether speaking to healthcare professionals, corporate teams, students or community groups, my aim is always to increase confidence, understanding and compassion.
"I attended a workshop with Katie recently, I wasn't sure what to expect. All I can say is WOW! For a topic that can be triggering & emotional, it was amazing, educational, relaxed, informative and so very interesting. Katie was professional with a warm, easy demeanour. She has great empathy and a vast wealth of knowledge. I look forward to learning even more in the future with her. I cannot recommend her enough"

Dying for a Cuppa®
Nurse, Care Show
I was hung on your every word, I could listen to you talk all day. You are so inspiring and engaging, best talk I have been to in a long time. We need more Katies in the world and more of these conversations. Talking really is your superpower!
Celebrant, Conference
Katie has such a way with words. She makes things so easy to understand and has the most amazing energy about her. I love her passion, it's palpable when she speaks.
Attendee,
Cancer Support Group
Katie made a difficult topic so much more palatable. I myself have been poorly and was nervous for what she had to say but it turns out I really needed her honesty, she is such a warm and lovely person. I felt so safe.
