Greetings, I am Katie Rose.

In this sanctuary of discovery, I extend my gratitude for your presence. As an emissary of compassion through life's most profound passages, I guide souls through the intricate weave of farewells and awakenings.

My purpose, a tapestry of devotion, unfurls as I walk alongside fellow travelers in moments of metamorphosis—those fleeting thresholds that stir our souls.

Allow me to embrace you during:

  • The tender procession of a loved one's journey's end.

  • The poignant dance of loss and miscarriage, where hearts ache and heal.

  • The winding path through life's labyrinthine changes and sorrows.

  • Holding space for grief's song and the whispers of death's mysteries.

With a heart attuned to the essence of miscarriage, I find solace in nature's wisdom—an eternal healer, a teacher beyond measure.

Embarking upon this odyssey in 2019, my quest as a death doula began. Within hospice walls and through virtual threads, I've stood witness to life's twilight, kindling light amidst shadows. I weave threads of preparation, beacons of empowerment, and strands of mindfulness, crafting a haven for growth.

Central to my practice is the creation of a sanctum—acceptance unfurling like petals in bloom. In this space, stories unfold, traversing challenges, and embracing self-blossoming.

With open arms, I invite you to embrace this sanctuary—a haven of guidance, understanding, and transformation.

My Purpose is to Reverently Acknowledge Your Path

My intention rests upon the sacred honor of your voyage, guiding you towards a state of empowerment and tranquility, nurturing inner healing and flourishing within both life and its inevitable counterpart, death.

Opting for natural miscarriages, I cultivated a sanctuary at home, fortified by herbs, rituals, and grounding practices. This empowered stance amidst a realm of uncontrollable circumstances became a testament to my inner strength. Converting my scars into wisdom has illuminated a transformative path of healing, unveiling the quintessence of my humanity.

Stripped to my core, I comprehended the pilgrimage through anguish and ambiguity, transmuting it into resilience, grace, and a heart wide open. This journey ignited a fervor to instill within others the capacity to navigate their own grief with steadfast courage and tender grace.

My sessions, conduits of support, materialize through Zoom or in person, should you find yourself within a 5-mile radius of SE3..

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

  • Katie is simply brilliant. I didn't know what to expect but she made a huge difference during a really tricky time for me. I don't know if she knows how good and natural she is. She's a wealth of knowledge, incredibly personable and worth every penny

  • I want to take a moment to really champion this woman. She has been such a resource for me as I surfed the in between spaces. What I look for most in my support team is congruence. I want to know the wisdom you preach is embodied in your life. Why? Because in the moment I am alone, struggling and lost touch with myself, I look for the living examples in the community around me who show me the way is possible. Whose truth is able to light a path even when they aren't physically present. That is a true guide.

  • Thank you for holding that special space for me, your nourishment and wisdom.

  • I cannot recommend Katie Rose highly enough… I’ve gone from floundering and overwhelmed to feeling much stronger and better equipped to handle this phenomenally difficult life phase. Without Katie Rose’s kindness, knowledge and encouragement I would still be spinning in circles. Thank you Katie Rose, you truly are a blessing in my life.

  • Recently, I was feeling so sad and distraught and guilty when my ‘aunt’ ended up in a residential nursing home in England- it was always her wish to return to Ireland in this eventuality but Alzheimers made it impossible for her to travel. Covid happened and she survived all of that with very few visits from us in Ireland. I found Katie Rose and she has been such an amazing support! A real life angel- Katie Rose was attentive to every aspect of this situation ; her listening allows for deep revelation about M, her life and her needs, medical but more spiritual at this ending stage of life. I felt her compassion , her courage and her strength. With Katie Rose‘s guidance we have put in place support for Maura to accompany her in this final journey and also seen to her medical needs. It feels that M is wrapped in loving care. I feel that I can get in touch with Katie Rose not only about M but any other situation where the end of life approaches- my own and those of my friends/ family. And I will do so. She has transformed an intolerable situation into a place of support and love and courage.

  • When I first met Katie I immediately liked her, and I knew straight away that she would be kind, calm and thoughtful in her role as a doula. She is a good timekeeper, has a tranquil and soothing presence which makes her very suited to working with the terminally ill.
