Who is Divorce Doula?

Hi, I’m Katie.

I’m a certified professional coach and strategic leader living in Seattle. You can find me among the shelves of a bookstore, at an art exhibition, or on a dance floor. 

I spent most of my public sector career guiding organizations through complex decisions and challenges, but nothing revealed the gaps in our support systems more clearly than navigating my divorce. I experienced firsthand how processes exist for the legal, financial, and therapeutic aspects of divorce, but almost none for the human experience. 

Who holds the space where you are making life-altering decisions while your identity, relationships, and future shift beneath you? 

An analyst by training, I turned to research and learned everything possible about navigating divorce. I also polled my friends about the value of having a compassionate guide through the practical realities of divorce. I soon realized that people going through divorce need a steady thought partner to get out of survival mode and design a future nobody planned for. That’s how Divorce Doula came to be.

Divorce Doula exists for the moment when you’re at a threshold: anxious and overwhelmed yet ready to get creative instead of hiding under a blanket. 

Bringing my strategic lens and personal experience to this work, I combine practical guidance with deep care for the human behind every decision. I work with clients to slow down reactive decision-making, reconnect with their values, and move forward with clarity rather than overwhelm.

Divorce ultimately led me to discover my purpose and reinvent my life, one that centers me in community and a sense of serenity that softens the hard days. I’d love the opportunity to walk alongside you through this big, messy, profound transition and meet you on the other side. It’s really good over here.
