More Than Support: How Kate Helped Us Thrive Through Early Parenthood
03 June 2026
Finding Kate was an absolute lifeline during the most overwhelming season of my life.
When I first became a mum, I started out feeling incredibly uncertain. I had actually been exceptionally confident about breastfeeding before giving birth - I thought I knew a lot about it, so it really knocked me when it wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be! I also had a really straightforward homebirth, so I was even more surprised that it didn’t just happen for me.
Drowning in a sea of conflicting opinions coming at me from every direction, and lots of pressure to do things in a way I didn’t feel comfortable with, it was a really difficult time. But then we found Kate - she completely cut through the noise, and instantly steadied and reassured me, giving me the much-needed support I wasn’t getting from elsewhere.
Her “mum-first” approach completely changed my experience of early motherhood.
Kate is so much more than just an Osteopath; she is a highly experienced mum- first expert who understands firsthand how challenging the newborn days can be. She became a shining light of knowledge, supporting us through cranial Osteopathy alongside deeply practical breastfeeding support.
I learned so much through her guidance, and my confidence was bolstered so deeply that I was able to achieve my dream of exclusively breastfeeding with ease. She made me feel really seen and understood, and I always felt like I could ask her anything and be met with understanding.
As a new mum your kind of nervous and anxious anyway and being told that these things are normal and it will get better is beyond helpful.
Her expertise extends far beyond feeding alone.
Her expertise goes far beyond just breastfeeding and physical alignment too. Kate has gone above and beyond, supporting us through every phase of early parenthood. She has taught us about everything from sleep support through to what we can expect from weaning, teething and more. Her sessions are also super laid- back as well, you don’t need to worry if your baby explodes through their nappy or if you’re worried about feeding during the session, you’re made to feel so comfortable and put instantly at ease.
Our journey didn't end in those early weeks either! Even though my baby is five months now, we are continuing to see Kate. In fact, we plan to keep seeing her at key moments throughout our baby’s early years to ensure we always have the best support possible and are doing the absolute best we can for our child.
What stands out most is how practical her advice is.
Every single time we see her, we leave the session knowing exactly what we need to do next to best support our baby. Her practical advice is incredibly easy to put into play, and when we do, we can instantly see how our baby reacts and develops as a direct result of that guidance and support.
With her continuous care, we always feel safe in the knowledge that we are going in the right direction. She has ensured we are reaching key developmental milestones earlier than expected; milestones I know we wouldn’t have achieved as easily or as timely without her exceptional fountain of knowledge.
I feel like everyone would benefit from a session with Kate, whether it’s your first baby or not. Each birth is different, each child is different, and there’s always more to learn or things you wish you knew before. Kate’s support is clear, practical and based on real life experience plus years of knowledge. She sees you and your unique needs and gives you the confidence you need to be the best possible parent.
I am eternally grateful for how she has helped us shape our story from those anxious early days to where we are now, feeling confident and breastfeeding with total ease.
We are incredibly lucky to have her in our area, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.
We recently received this wonderful review from a mother whom Kate has supported and continues to help. It truly reflects the care, guidance and expertise that Kate offers to families.
