Hi! I’m Katie.
I support women and their families from pregnancy through to the early years of parenting.
“The experience of birth can help women to become empowered, and help them to discover new strengths in themselves.”
— Sheila Kitzinger
Services
I offer one-to-one sessions to help you navigate the changes your body experiences during pregnancy, understand what to expect during labour and birth, and prepare for life with your baby. When you book a session with me, you can expect to feel empowered and informed to make choices that are right for you.
I operate mainly in London NW6 (West Hampstead, Queen’s Park) and surrounding areas but also offer online support for those based further away.
Pregnancy & Birth Preparation
Birth can be a beautiful thing, regardless of how or where it takes place.
Whether you want a home birth, a caesarean, or something in between, I will work with you to instil a sense of calm and preparedness. Together we can create a birth plan which you can actually be excited about, and feel capable of making informed decisions in case things change.
For comprehensive coverage of all antenatal aspects I recommend booking 6hrs with me, which can be split into individual sessions to suit your schedule.

Life with your Baby
Whilst preparing for birth is important, it can be easy to forget that life is about to change in a big way! Being prepared for this postnatal shift can help to relieve some of the stress in the early days and weeks.
Before or after your baby arrives we can discuss your life after birth, including feeding your baby, navigating changing relationships and understanding your support systems.
For postnatal support only, I recommend booking 3hrs with me which can be split into individual sessions to suit your schedule.

Mama Meet-Ups
Nobody understands what you’re going through like another mama. Come along for chats, hugs and giggles in your local area, whether it’s with mums of little ones of a similar age, or those who’ve been where you are and out the other side.
Come for 10 minutes or stay for hours, it’s up to you. Sometimes all you need is an excuse to get out of the house!
If you’re an existing Being Mama client, you can attend free of change. Bring a friend for £5.

Book your free introductory call so we can get to know each other better, and discuss how I can best support you!
Why choose me?
You are an individual and you deserve to be treated as such. I will always meet you with warmth, compassion and zero judgement, regardless of your background or your thoughts and feelings about pregnancy and birth.
Your personal circumstances, ideas and views are never going to be exactly the same as those of someone else. I put your perspective first, whilst drawing from my own experiences as a mother of two young children who has had two very different birth experiences.
As a FEDANT-registered Antenatal and Early Days educator, you can trust me to provide you with thorough, evidence-backed information to support you in your motherhood journey and beyond.
With me, you can feel safe to ask all the questions you may not feel comfortable asking in a traditional antenatal class amongst people you don’t know that well.
I offer a comprehensive mix of learning materials including data, visuals and videos; we can cover as much or as little as you need, adjusting as we go along. We can dive deep into particular topics of interest, or areas which may be causing you some anxiety. Perhaps you have some unresolved feelings about past birth experiences which we can work through to help you feel more confident about your next one.
If you’re still keen on having the group antenatal experience, you can get the best of both worlds by coming along to meet other local pregnant mums at one of my Being Mama socials, held regularly (subject to demand) in a relaxed and comfortable setting, and free of charge to all of my clients.

“I am so grateful for Katie’s help. I had often found myself turning to google for advice/solutions and being able to talk to Katie freed up my thinking, and calmed my system. She is so good at creating the space to see what works for you, and that you don’t need to make fear based decisions- to trust yourself more.”
