“Katina has been helping people with death and dying for decades. She was the first person to mention Elisabeth Kubler-Ross to me and has continued to learn and grow in the field, becoming a certified doula. She is kind, empathetic, grounded, and compassionate and would be a tremendous asset.”

“Over the many years that I have known Katina, she’s been the epitome of caring compassion in all facets of life. The guidance she provides is unparalleled, as she masterfully attends to all perspectives and spiritual belief systems. She is truly gifted.”
Kathleen Baker
Author, Unity Church Speaker, and Ministerial Candidate at One Spirit Interfaith Seminary
“I have known Katina for 30 years and have benefited from and witnessed her work in end-of-life situations. She brings a compassionate, empathetic heart and strong spiritual support to those whom she serves. She is extremely sensitive and diplomatic in dealing with a variety of personalities, backgrounds, and spiritual beliefs at a time when clients and their families need many forms of support. She is a very good listener and digs deep in her own heart to find the words and touches each individual needs most.
In addition to her experience, Katina’s credentials have certainly prepared her for hospice work. She has continuously deepened her education in this area in response to her calling to this sacred service.”

"A true advocate who never leaves you feeling alone or lost. I am 92 and living in a nursing home now but she still comes to visit. It’s a comfort just to hear her voice.”

Hospice Nurse (Ohio)
"I have never worked with a better advocate for patients and their families. Rev. Katina 'gets it' -- she knows how to tune into patients' needs and help their families make it happen. It's a joy to partner with her to provide the services time or resources often do not permit for us. She knows how to make it a magical experience."

"I talk to Rev. Katina often and she is always there when I need her. When my husband passed away three years ago, she didn’t hesitate. She drove up to Ohio from Georgia and helped me with everything, from providing emotional support to filling out necessary paperwork that I was in no condition to handle on my own."

"Rev. Katina helped me when my husband Walt was dying. They became instant friends and he trusted her until the end. At his funeral, I introduced her to everyone as 'the young lady Walt fell in love with before he died.' She was such a compassionate, supportive friend (I prefer to think we're family now) and brought us so much peace along a very difficult road."
