“Kate was an amazing facilitator of the Hypnobirthing course. The little attentions to detail were so lovely, like greeting couples individually, atmospheric room with diffuser and dim lights, morning tea snacks, and great communication before and after the course. The content really sets you up for being knowledgeable about your body’s natural ability to birth, managing any possible home, hospital or surgical scenario or intervention for birth, including your rights and consent etc.

Kate provided so many tools to make labour and birth so calm, natural and relaxing, and guided us through multiple medications, exercises on the birth ball, pressure points and massage.

We were able to take part in one day in the studio with a group and the second day a few weekends later in the comfort and privacy of our home. I would definitely recommend Kate to anyone looking for a positive birth experience.”
