I’m glad we found each other, I’m Kathryn.
I am a Death Midwife, Artist, and Tarot Practitioner. I reside on unceded Wabanaki Territory, in Lowell, Maine, off-grid in protected tree growth. Death, life, and rebirth, are present daily, as are the generations before me. I spent the first two decades of my adult life nourishing as a Chef, as well as serving and guiding as a Non-Clinical Birth Worker.
Collectively our abundance of warmth, desire to be present, and holistic support offered to birthing and newly born people, is countered with a lack of the same attentions for the dying and their caregivers. My awareness of how our attitudes towards life, and death are inherited by future generations and desire to honor our dying led to an apprenticeship under Narinder Bazen, through Nine Keys Death Midwifery.
Before our current systems capitalized on death, and our dying, it was done in living rooms, on parlor tables, and our backyards. It was done in community. The knowledge of how to care for the dying, and the dead, was handed down. The loss of community knowledge and phobia surrounding death, grew as the commodification of it grew. This is not coincidence. My desire is to help communities reclaim this knowledge and support them in exercising their rights to care for their own. Death care can be meaningful and affordable.
An Artist since youth, my mindset was that creating was a private and personal practice. In many cultures, before “Art” was called such, and commodified, it was made for rituals and healing. To benefit the community, and to be shared. This is a practice I bring into my Death Midwifery and grief work, as creation is a remarkable vehicle for expression.
My approach to Tarot is intuitive, focusing on the Archetypes in the human psyche. Special attention is paid to the Hermetic, religious and astrological symbolism within the deck. My experience with Tarot started with my first deck at 14 (which I still own). Much later in life I learned under Tree Carr to expand upon my understanding and the symbolism within the deck.
