Meet Katie
Creative, down-to-earth, practical and solution-focused.
Working at Pilgrims Hospices as a Wellbeing Practitioner gave me invaluable insight into the support needs that can arise during such a profound and challenging time.
I also spent five years leading an award-winning firm of funeral directors. Combined with my Fine Art education and experience in operational management, this helps me offer logical and creative support shaped around the person in front of me.
