Katie
“I am so appreciative of the superior care you gave and the continued support after my father passed.”
“Katie was a breath of fresh air on the day we needed it most. Extremely compassionate & incredibly knowledgeable in her job. We are grateful for her attention to detail & subtle ways as she went about her day. Especially how kind & compassionate she was when things became critical in the end. Katie maintained a professional & respectful mannerism throughout her time in our home. We are greatly appreciative of her on one of the hardest days of our lives.”
“You were a Godsend during my aunts dying process, we are very grateful she could go comfortably and not alone. It is a complete blessing to have people like you doing this work!”
Why Sacred Support
With 17 years of experience as nurses across various clinical settings, we have come to recognize a critical gap that medical professionals often struggle to address—supporting individuals through the profound journeys of birthing and dying. It’s evident that few end-of-life care specialists are adequately trained in birth work, and few birth workers possess the skills to navigate the complexities of caring for the dying or supporting the bereaved. However, we understand that holding space for both these transformative experiences requires similar levels of compassion and expertise.
As certified doulas, we are equipped with essential skills such as adult and infant CPR, first aid, whole person listening and baby feeding techniques. Through Birth With Spirit, we have access to advanced training and a robust local network of midwives, lactation consultants, and bodyworkers for seamless referrals. We deeply respect the sanctity of transitions, whether ushering new life into the world or guiding individuals through their final journey.
“When the veil between our visual world and the wonders beyond the physical senses thins we seek out the hands of loved ones. Whether a mother holds these hands as she bears down to push a beloved child into the world or whether an elderly woman holds the hands of her children as she breathes her last breath. We reach for each other. It’s what we do.” ~Amy Wright Glenn
