About Katie

Katie Smith

NHS Mental Health Midwife · Perinatal Trauma Specialist

I created this starter pack because, in my work as an NHS mental health midwife, I see how often the fear from a difficult experience follows people into their next pregnancy. I also see how much it helps to have a plan, and a few simple tools to reach for when the worry feels big.

The birth plan guide helps your maternity team understand what you've been through and what you need. The anxiety workbook gives you gentle ways to settle your mind and body along the way. Both are trauma-informed and designed to feel calm rather than overwhelming. You deserve to walk into your birth feeling heard.
