Hi, I’m Kathryn,
I’m so passionate about all things birth, pregnancy and mothering. I would be honoured to walk beside you during these transformative experiences. I spent 15 years working in the charity sector, but when I became a Mother in 2017 I was transformed and I saw clearly that my calling was to support other women as a birthkeeper, so I began my training with Red Tent Doulas.
I live in Leeds, UK and have been married to my partner Dan since 2015. We both live for music and dancing at gigs or festivals or just in the kitchen as a family is our favourite thing to do ever! We love travelling and being outdoors; walking, gardening, cycling and on the odd occasion scuba diving! I also personally love being ‘lazy’ too and absolutely prioritise rest, relaxation and meditation. I really enjoy reading and cooking, especially when reading anything to do with birth and cooking nourishing foods for Mothers and families!
Find out more about my birthkeeping services here.
I want to help you achieve the birth and life of your dreams. As when ecstatic, autonomous and undisturbed birth takes place it lays a foundation for easeful and connected mothering which impacts the lives of our families and communities beyond. As Dr. Sarah Buckley says, “In healing birth, we are healing ourselves, our babies and the Earth.”
