I think most second time parents will agree that working full time and wrangling a toddler does not leave much time to prepare for a newborn. The time we had with our first simply doesn’t exist with our second.
I decided that a private session with Katie would be a great way for my husband and I to connect, to spend some very much needed time thinking about our newborn and our second birthing experience.
Carving out a few hours was hard to do, but Tom and I are so glad that we did! In Tom’s words “… it’s the best thing we could have done, to help focus some energy around #2’s arrival.”
At a fraction of the cost of other mainstream birthing classes, we got a lot out of Katie’s private session. I loved especially that we were not in a class with 4 or 5 other couples, and we were able to relax and speak freely about our experiences, wants and needs.
Thank you, Katie, for inviting us into your home, hearing our unique journey with #1 and hopes for #2, for tailoring your teachings around our needs and for imparting some much needed guidance on us. We can never stop learning and Tom and I feel as ready as we can to welcome our newest edition to our family.

Katie came and worked with our students post exams and showed them how breathing and mindfulness can really assist in refocusing and reducing stress. The students were able to participate in a series of practical and helpful strategies and movements to learn about ways to calm down and release tension. In particular, the students enjoyed Katie’s mindful meditation as she provides a soothing and peaceful way to wind down at the end of the lesson. Her gentle and calm nature was well received by the students and they enjoyed the opportunity to spend purposeful time caring for their mind and body. Thank you Katie!

I was delighted to come across Katie’s relaxation book for children, the Relaxation Rainbow.

I have been using it with my 4 year old as part of our bedtime routine and it has been wonderful.

She loves the book too, often asking for it!

As an occupational therapist working with children, I love resources that help make ‘calm’ more tangible, so that children can learn what if feels like, and how to relax their body and mind.

Katie’s book does just that. I couldn’t recommend it more highly!
