Sheradyn, Daniel & Bailey
I am so grateful for the incredible support Katherine provided throughout my pregnancy and birthing experience. From the very beginning, she made me feel empowered and informed, always respecting my choices and helping me navigate the many decisions I faced. Her calming presence and extensive knowledge made a world of difference during labor. I always felt supported by Katherine, never judged.
She was attentive to my needs, ensuring that I felt safe and comfortable, and her encouragement helped me stay focused and strong. I can't thank Katherine enough for the care and compassion she showed, which made my birthing experience not only successful but also beautiful!
Leading up to my labour Katherine checked in consistently and was on call for us when my waters broke in the middle of the night. She was the calm we needed and provided us with advice in line with our preferences. When labour got so intense I needed her here she was there quickly in the early hours of the morning. What I love about Katherine is she can somehow be exactly what you need in the moment. During the hypnobirthing she brought such energy and engagement but during my labour she was a calm, nurturing, feminine energy that I needed in the moment. I will never forget her holding my hand quietly as I was scared or how she gently gave me the encouragement, that I could do it. Also, her back rubs soothed me and helped me stay in my calm zone in between contractions. While being a nurturing presence for me in the thick of labour. She was such a practical support for my husband, talking him through techniques to support me and helping him to make decisions that were in line with our preferences. When the chaos ramped up and things changed quickly, Katherine adapted and supported us practically to get to the hospital quickly helping with our bags which meant my husband could be free to just be present with me when I needed him most.
After my son was born Katherine stayed with us for the few hours that followed, just gently in the background taking photos, making sure I had something to eat and talking me through all the things that were happening next. This meant that my husband could just relax and we could take in the golden hours together. I won’t ever forget how powerful yet vulnerable I felt after birth and having Katherine’s presence helped me navigate that. I knew she had been there before and I felt a maternal energy as she supported me through those first steps and shower. I will always be so grateful to have had her there on the most magical, intense day of my life.
The support from Katherine has continued into postpartum. Once again bringing that gentle and nurturing energy in a vulnerable time. She continued to offer check ins, helped me with breastfeeding questions gave me cuddle when it got hard and that’s all I needed.
Katherine has been a special part of journey into parenthood. With her education and support I achieved my dream unmediated water birth. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Working with Katherine was one of the best decisions I made for my birth journey. From the very beginning, she focused so much on education and helping me truly understand my body, birth, and the incredible things our bodies are designed to do. She gave me the confidence to trust my instincts, feel informed in every decision, and lean into the process instead of fearing it.
Katherine was such a strong advocate throughout the experience- calm, supportive, knowledgeable, and always making sure my voice was heard. She wasn’t just there for me either; she supported my husband so much throughout the journey as well, helping him feel informed, involved, reassured, and confident in supporting me during labour and birth.
More than anything, she helped make our birth feel empowering. We walked away feeling proud, respected, supported, and deeply connected to the experience.
I’m so grateful for her guidance, reassurance, and genuine care, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough to any expecting parents looking for support that is both empowering and grounding.
Chantelle, Tom and Jasmine
I wanted my first birth to be an unmedicated physiological birth and I knew I wanted support from a doula to help me achieve my goal. From the moment I met Katherine I felt confident in her ability to guide my husband and I through labor, birth and beyond. I instantly felt Katherine’s genuine passion and excitement for women and helping them achieve their birth wishes.
Katherine prepared us with so much knowledge on birth in our prenatal appointments, as well as practical skills to help cope with the sensations of labor. During labor Katherine was absolutely incredible. She was very helpful in suggesting different positions to keep my labor progressing. She was so calm throughout the whole birth and she was constantly encouraging me along. I felt so safe and so strong knowing she was right beside me. Post birth Katherine brought us some meals and checked in on us and made sure we were coping okay after birth and as new parents. From beginning to end Katherine offered constant support and made herself available for any questions we had. I couldn’t recommend Katherine more, she’s such a special woman.
