About Katherine
Katherine is based in Surrey with her partner and 2 children. She is able to attend births in and around Surrey, South London, Kent and Sussex.
Since becoming a mother, Katherine has been passionate about helping women take control of their birthing experiences and enabling parents to begin their new life in a positive way. Katherine has recently qualified as a postnatal doula and is currently studying with NCT and University of Worcester. She has completed Level 4 and is now continuing her degree, studying the postnatal period, which compliments her Doula training.
She is excited as she continues her journey to becoming a birth Doula and hopes that her passion shows through her work with her clients. She prides herself on her dependable and trustworthy nature. Katherine wishes to support parents in their transition to parenthood in pregnancy, birth and postnatally. She understands everyone is unique and through being warm and engaging she listens to and respects your birth wishes, whatever you decide. During labour she believes a mother’s wishes should be heard and respected.
Throughout labour Katherine will engage and adapt to you and your birth partner’s needs to help create a positive birth experience, whether it is using massage and breathing techniques, maintaining the birth pool or supporting you to work through any arising decisions.
Katherine would be honoured to join you on your journey whether it is your first baby or as you grow your family. If you feel Katherine is the Doula for you, please contact her to chat further.
