About Me
Hi I'm Kate
I am a mother to four wonderful children, and we make our home on the beautiful Springbrook Mountain in the Gold Coast Hinterland, where we homeschool our kids.
As a birth worker, postpartum doula, and placenta specialist, I am deeply passionate about supporting women through their postpartum journey. My approach is rooted in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practices, focusing on nurturing, nourishing, and restoring the mother. My services are shaped by my own life experiences and a deep understanding of the profound impact holistic care can have.
​
Every birth I've experienced, both my own and those I've supported, has been a powerful learning opportunity. It's a true honor to be invited into the sacred space of birth, and I feel blessed to be called to this work.
​
As a birth keeper, I guide families in bringing their babies into the world gently and sacredly, drawing from the teachings of Sunni Karll, author of Sacred Birthing; Birthing a New Humanity. I also advocate for intuitive motherhood as a peaceful and fulfilling approach to birth and parenting and believe in building strong "villages" of support around the birth of a child.
​
I was called to this work because I believe every mother deserves a supported birth, a kindred spirit, and a personal village—someone whose willingness to serve is at the heart of everything they do. My mission is to support women, helping them to love their bodies, honor themselves, and be fully present with their babies. The strength of a mother is unparalleled, and realizing this has been one of the greatest gifts my children have given me.
​
My services focus on empowering women to recognize that they already possess the knowledge to give birth, mother their children, and care for their families. It’s about learning to trust themselves and embracing their innate wisdom. Whatever your birth and postpartum preferences, I am here to support and guide you on your journey with love and respect, because I believe that all birth is sacred.

Sacred Birthing
"Birth can be seen in its wholeness only when a spiritual perspective is included. By realigning birth with consciousness, the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of a newborn remain in sync. Babies conceived in love, need birthing practices that reflect that love, practices that protect the integrity of a newborn. The babies asking to be born now are radiant light bearers who call for a harmless paradigm of birth.​Taking delicate care at birth protects the innate radiance of each baby. It is a baby’s soul choice to be born consciously, and also our reception of them that determines whether or not baby’s full radiance is able to incarnate. Aligning with the Great Mysteries of conception, pregnancy & birth protects the whole being of the baby and retains the vast consciousness of the newborn.​Pursuing the highest for our unborn and newly born babies is a goal for all humanity. When we awaken to how imperative birth is to our evolution, we will birth all babies softly." Sunni Karll Sacred Birthing
