Hi I’m Kate – I am a registered Nurse/Midwife and Maternal Child Health Nurse, I have over 30 years experience working in health care systems and in more recent years have enjoyed supporting women and families through their birthing and postnatal journeys. In my home life, I am Mum to four bigger babies, Mimi to one precious granddaughter, and during my paid hours I work in a small regional hospital and in a Melbourne community setting. For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to be in a caring profession and extending that into the maternity space was a life goal of mine too – I love my work! I wish our maternity systems educated women better and actively encouraged them to participate in their care; sadly this isn’t always true. Together with my daughter Cassie, who is also a Hypnobirthing Australia Practitioner, we are combining our skill sets and life experience to bring hypnobirthing to you. We look forward to supporting women and their partners through comprehensive hypnobirthing classes so they feel empowered to trust their bodies, release their fears and look forward to birth with positive anticipation.
