Bio

As a queer radical care worker and death doula, Katherine has worked closely with both elders and adults with disabilities. They were trained by a life deeply lived, and by the revolutionary Going with Grace. She has collaborated in Chicago for 20+ years with young people and artists as a facilitator and art teacher, and has been organizing, practicing mutual aid and care with disability justice activists, care workers and sw collectives.
As a community member, elder queer, parent, artist and gardener, Katherine believes deeply in our humanity and each of our inherent beauty, value, joy, grief and autonomy. Through her work and relationships, she heralds the importance of love and vulnerable community in our fight for collective liberation and justice for all those oppressed.
I believe we are all divine in life, liberation, care, change and death.

Areas of focus

As a death doula, I offer nonmedical holistic support. This varies and can take the form of emotional, spiritual, and/or practical care and planning. I offer resources, tenderness, dialogue and personal care for individuals and their circle of care. My goal is to support you in making informed decisions, often within hostile systems, in ways that feel right for you. As a doula I specialize in supporting your quality of life, exploring and celebrating legacy, encouraging reflection, intimacy, heart healing and connection, in support of whatever a good life towards death means for you.
