Living the Last Chapter

Alisa & Momo, 16

"I came to Katie overwhelmed with self-doubt and her calmness and extensive experience helped me through a process that was totally new and scary to me. Katie understood and validated my emotional state while showing me how to trust my intuition. I wanted to keep caring for Momo. Katie let me know that was alright."

AJ & Mama Julep, 14

"I was so grateful for Katie’s support during Mama Julep’s last few months of life in her earthly body. Katie provided resources, a listening ear, and a calm presence during a time when it was easy to feel lost and alone."

Lisa & Indy, 17

"Probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done is make the decision to help my beloved kitty Indy transition. I knew it was time, yet the moment he was gone I was devastated and questioned my irreversible decision. Katie helped me put it all in the right perspective and understand I had done the right thing."

Tamara & Theo, 16

"Because of her guidance, Theo's passing was peaceful, loving, and filled with dignity. While losing him has been one of the hardest things I've ever experienced, I find comfort in knowing that his final chapter was as gentle as it could possibly be."

Ashley & Fitz, 16

"Deciding when to say goodbye to Fitzgerald was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Katie helped me talk through all the fear, guilt, and uncertainty, and gave me the tools to find peace with the idea that letting him go was the most loving thing I could do for him at that point. I'm beyond grateful for Katie's support."

Taylor & Brett, 10

"When I lost Brett, my soul dog of 10 years, the grief felt entirely overwhelming. Katie was a beacon of comfort during a time when I thought absolutely nothing could help. She couldn't take my pain away, but her gentle perspective and advice made me feel so much less scared for him. I am forever grateful for the peace she brought to both of us."
