Hi, I’m Katy — RN, end-of-life doula, and the heart behind Petals to the Sea.

With more than a decade at the bedside, I walk with individuals and families through the sacred, messy, deeply human experience of dying — blending clinical skill, fierce advocacy, and the kind of humor that gets you through the storm.

Petals to the Sea is a space for meaning-making at the end. I offer holistic, non-medical support that honors your values, complements your care, and helps you meet death with presence, clarity, and peace.

The name came from the ocean — from a circle of friends floating in saltwater, hands full of flowers, hearts cracked wide open.

From a paddle-out for someone we loved — a surfer’s ritual where we gather in the ocean, release flowers into the waves,  s c r e a m  and say goodbye. That moment, soaked in saltwater and petals, showed me what death could be: not clinical, not quiet or taboo — but communal, sacred, and deeply human.


I believe death deserves beauty. Ritual. Truth.
And maybe even a dark joke or two.

If you’re ready, let’s talk about how you want to go … and how you want to  l i v e  until then.
