MEET KATE
My life and work experience have primed me to be an expert space holder, community builder, and curator of deeply transformational experiences.
I am a former elementary school dual language teacher turned multi-passionate entrepreneur that is devoted to making sure that everyone I work with feels seen, supported, and cared for.
I was 27 when my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer out of the blue. It was an unbelievably difficult time that forever altered the course of my life.
My father’s illness and death were accompanied by numerous other losses, all occurring over the span of just a few years. [More on my story here].
All of this completely devasted me and I found myself lost in the darkest depression I had ever known. I quite literally thought I might never smile or laugh again, and I had no idea how I would ever put back the pieces of my broken heart.
Eventually, slowly, something began to shift within me. I found tools that helped me tend to my pain and integrate these losses into my life as I tried to find the way forward.
I started to experience more moments of solace and joy in the simple things in life, just as my dad had always taught me. And I became motivated by an incredible desire to LIVE the most beautiful life I could possibly imagine, even in the aftermath of loss…
and I wanted to help others do the same.
THE VISION
For me, solace is a feeling, an experience.
That beacon of light and hope in the midst of darkness,
like the sun emerging from behind the clouds after a storm.
I created The Solace Space to offer support and opportunities for healing and connection to anyone experiencing grief in any of its many forms — whether that means dealing with the loss of a loved one, navigating a breakup or illness, or perhaps adjusting to a major life transition.
The Solace Space is your sanctuary,
a place to come home to yourself and a supportive community.
I am honored to have you here with me!!
“The reality of grief is far different from what others see from the outside. There is pain in this world that you can't be cheered out of. You don't need solutions. You don't need to move on from your grief. You need someone to see your grief, to acknowledge it. You need someone to hold your hands while you stand there in blinking horror, staring at the hole that was your life.
Some things cannot be fixed. They can only be carried.”Megan Devine
