MEET KATHIE
I’m Kathie.
​
I’m deeply sorry for the circumstances that bring you here, but I want you to know this: your grief is welcome here. Whether you're navigating the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a job, a move, or even a change you chose and were excited about — grief is part of the journey. In fact, there are over 43 different types of loss, including: the loss of trust, infertility, loss of health, and so many more. Grief is tied to change, and with change, even joyful change, comes loss.
It’s an honour to serve you and to hold space for your needs during this tender time.
​
I live in the balance of grief and joy every day — sometimes even in the same moment. It may sound impossible, but joy and sadness can coexist, just as love and loss often do.
​
Like you, I’ve faced many losses in my life. It’s something all humans share, yet it can feel so isolating. That’s why I’m here — to remind you that you’re not alone.
​
I’m a bestselling author, speaker, end-of-life doula, and grief coach. My mission is to guide you through the complexities of living, grieving, and dying with compassion, dignity, and grace. Whether you’re seeking support in the midst of a loss, preparing for life’s inevitable transitions, or simply trying to make sense of it all, my role is to provide a steady presence and a safe space for you to explore your feelings without judgment.
​
Through my writing, speaking, group, and one-on-one work, I strive to empower others to navigate their unique paths — making choices that honour your wishes, relationships, and personal journeys.

GRIEF AND UNFILTERED MINDSET COACHING
Grief changes everything but it can also reveal who you've always been.
You can't heal the version of yourself you've been pretending to be. You know the one who is trying to make you easier to handle and not make anyone else feel uncomfortable.
Many of us have spent years living according to the expectations of others and that role no longer fits.
Eventually we all experience loss and grief and we ask the question "Who am I really?"
This work isn't about reinventing yourself its about uncovering the real unfiltered you. Here we will unpack the stories you inherited, challenge those limiting beliefs and help you reconnect to the person underneath all the filters.
​
The goal isn't to become someone new its to stop hiding who you've always been,.
