Hello, I am Katie Rose

I am a death, pregnancy loss and miscarriage doula, walking alongside people through some of life’s most tender and transformative moments.

This work is about walking alongside others at the thresholds tending to the endings, beginnings, and in-between spaces that change us. Being in the liminal space. Sometimes that looks like supporting a loved one at the end of life practically, emotionally and spiritually, sometimes it’s holding space for miscarriage and loss, and sometimes it’s simply sitting with the mystery of grief together.

I started this path in 2019 and have been privileged to work in hospices, in person and online, and in community spaces ever since. Nature, ritual, intuition, my own deep and raw experiences and compassionate presence guide my practice helping me create spaces that feel safe, tender, and real.

I hold space for the alchemy of feeling, a gentle invitation to let emotions be witnessed, so that healing can unfold.
If you’re here, maybe you’re seeking comfort, clarity, or simply a reminder that you’re not alone. Wherever you are, whoever you are, you are welcome here.

Ways We Can Work Together

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

  • Katie Rose is wise beyond her years. For almost two years she guided and supported me as I helped my Mum through the final chapter of her life. Katie Rose is insightful, graceful and kind. She was able to give me support with real world practicalities, emotional and spiritual matters. She was adaptable and flexible to my style and needs and held me skilfully through the darkest moments and feelings. Some of the things I learnt from her will stay with me forever. I highly recommend her.

  • I started working with Katie Rose after multiple failed IVF transfers and miscarriages, which left me anxious and not very able to see how this journey could work out for me no matter how hard I tried or wanted it. I’m now 13 weeks pregnant and without Katie Rose’s support in preparation for my most recent transfer and throughout the early weeks of pregnancy, I’d be in a very different place. Through our work, including her thoughtful crafting of affirmations and beautiful visualisations tailored to my journey, I now feel more able to trust in this pregnancy and enjoy being pregnant, something I have always wanted and was afraid was out of reach.

  • 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 pennyNew List Item

  • 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.
