In 2014 Kati watched The Business of Being Born. This documentary catapulted her on a path to midwifery. She began attending at local study group for birth workers and trained as  a labor doula with toLabor. This ultimately led to  an apprenticeship with a local homebirth midwife.  She was able to work with multiple midwives during her time in Virginia. In 2016 she moved to West Virginia and began a new apprenticeship.  2019 Kati put her midwifery journey on hold to become her  mother's fulltime caregiver. Kati was by her mother's side when she peacefully transitioned at home in the Spring of 2021. She soon returned, full force, completing the apprenticeship model and earning the CMP credential through the North American Registry of Midwives in February 2024. 
Kati lives in Gerrardstown WV with her husband, cat and two dogs. She enjoys reading, spending time in nature and perfecting gluten free baking.
