Kate Leotta, the Heart behind Swan Song Journey
I am dedicated to supporting individuals on their unique End-of-Life Journeys.
With certifications: Aged Care Doula Companion, Foundations Death Doula and End of Life Consultant, I give warmth and understanding along the way, and offer:
Holistic care
Engaging conversations
Social and community support

"Fear does not prevent death, it prevents life"! (Naguib Mahfouz)
Facing end-of-life can be a deeply emotional and challenging time for individuals and families alike. I honour your unique Living, Dying and Death choices, so you feel heard, respected, comforted, supported and empowered, to navigate through the transition from life to death, peacefully.
More about Kate
Beyond her professional qualifications, Kate’s life is enriched by her roles as a friend, volunteer, lifelong learner, and avid lover of film, music, plants, and books. She finds joy in embroidery, public speaking, camping, and spending time at beaches and lakes. Once a bush care and Landcare volunteer and community choir singer, she continues to bring these nurturing and creative qualities to her work. Kate has personal experience as a carer, which deepens her empathy and understanding of the challenges her clients may face.
A passionate advocate for open conversations about living, dying, and death, Kate facilitates Death Cafés, following Death Café guidelines; fostering frank, informal, no-holds-barred profound discussions in community settings. Over beverages and food, people connect and make sense of their finite lives!

Acknowledgement of Country
In the spirit of reconciliation, Kate Leotta from Swan Song Journey acknowledges First Nations People, the Traditional Custodians of the lands in South East Qld (and beyond) on which I live and work. I honour their deep, enduring connections to land, sea, and community.
From my heart, I pay my respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and to all the families who hold the stories, wisdom, and strength of culture—Grandparents, Mums and Dads, Aunties, Uncles, Cousins, Nieces, Nephews, and Kin. I recognise and stand in solidarity with Brotherboys, Sistergirls, and all members of the LGBTQIA+ community and the FPDN within First Nations cultures.
Sovereignty was never ceded—this always was, and always will be, First Nations People's land.
