HEY, I'M KATIE

A midwife who helps you feel ready

I'll help you understand what's really happening in your body, know your options, and feel calm and in control, whatever kind of birth you're planning.

I'm a midwife with 20 years of experience supporting women and their families through birth. Alongside my work as an NHS mental health midwife, I'm a trained hypnobirthing instructor and antenatal educator.

That combination is what makes this course different. You get both the clinical, evidence-based knowledge of what is really happening in your body, and the practical, psychological tools to feel calm and in control. I created The Birth Prep Course to give families the kind of thorough, honest preparation I wish everyone had access to. I cannot wait to meet you both.
