Our Founder
Katie Cavuto MS, RD, Chef
Doula
I'm so eager to meet you!
A warm cup of tea; that's love to me. So is a knit hat and a warm scarf and my feet in warm sand. And the smell of fresh cut rosemary on my fingertips or a newly peeled orange; they invigorate my soul and lift me up no matter the circumstance. These are a few of the simple things that nourish my soul and body. They're self-care for me, and, there are little things, like these, that feel like a big hug to you too, and I can't wait to explore these simple joys with you! Because simple acts of self-care and soul nourishment are acts of love too!
And not brushing my hair for a week, well that's me too, because a messy ponytail and a bandana feels free and comfortable to me and it's also allows me to do my job so it's a win-win, isn't it! I think I've lived the majority of my life in a ponytail!
There are only a few people in my life that know these things about me and now you're one of them too. Because vulnerability is the heart opening to being fully seen and trusting that there is love for you. It's knowing all of the messy bits and the lovely bits (too much British TV for me) and accepting ourselves and one another unconditionally. I am happy to share of all the "bits and pieces" of myself with you, and know our new doula's will too, and I hope that you will feel comfortable too! Because I cannot wait to support you through whatever life circumstance you're going through. And I can promise you this, there is love in all of it, even when it doesn't feel like it. And when you need a good laugh or a good cry, some nurturing, nourishment, self-empowerment or a few to-do's checked off your list, I would be honored to be that person for you. ​

With love and gratitude, Katie
​
Katie felt a deep calling to care for people from a very young age and that came more into her knowing she began her career as a Registered Dietitian and Chef, now 20 years ago. She loved being with patients and is in awe of the human body; the miracles and our resilience. She is the first person to help a stranger on the street, she loves to cook and share nourishing meals with others as a form of love and healing.
Katie has worked as a mindfullness coach and holistic health educator for many years, providing people the tools they need to feel empowered in themselves through love and kindness.
​
These passions along with the joys and the challenges that have existed in her own life, opened up her path to healing, becoming a doula and a life-long learner too! She also realized she has been a doula-ing her whole career and continues to; nurturing, educating, loving and honoring people through many of life's moments which inspired her to create an organization that offers support throughout the life-span.
From prenatal and postpartum education and care to supporting children, parents and grandparents too, Honoring You would be honored to help you. We will hold your hand and support you if you're experiencing loss and grief and when it comes to end of life support, we would be honored to sit bedside too, because let's be real, we don't ever stop needing kindness, love and support. Katie certainly hasn't. From infancy, through motherhood, and even now, 13 years after her son was born, love and kindness continues to her through.
​
You probably have questions and that is great! She would be happy to have a call with you and depending on your needs plan to meet in person too, because personal connection is the heart of Honoring You and we will soon have other doulas offering the same loving care too.
In the meantime, take a look at our doula services and learn more about what a doula can do! And keep you eye out for new doulas and free and affordable care coming soon!
