If the defense is guarding her, and she turns her palm "skyward," it's a carry. Before the "carry" was established a couple of years ago, it's a double dribble. As far as I'm concerned, the dribble stops when the palm is holding the ball upward.

This was a POE in the 2000/2001 rulebook. It said that the best way to call this was to watch for the ball to come to rest. The ball could come come to rest with the palm pointing down, and if it did, that ended the dribble. What the offensive player did next determined the type of violation. If they lifted their pivot foot and put it back down again before dribbling, the violation was for travelling. If they immediately dribbled after the ball came to rest, then the violation is a double dribble. I don't think that it really matters which call you use,imo, as long as you do call it.
