Guiding You With Each Baby Step

Parenthood doesn't come with a manual, yet somehow everyone has advice.

One minute you're scrolling through conflicting Weaning advice, the next you're watching First Aid videos that leave you feeling more anxious than before. That's why, in 2006, I created Baby Steps - bringing together expert courses, workshops, events, wellbeing and personalised support to cut through the noise with calm, evidence-based guidance that helps you feel prepared, not overwhelmed.

Baby Steps is here to quiet the noise. Through expert guidance, evidence-based advice and a calm, caring approach, I'm here to help you replace uncertainty with confidence, so you can spend less time worrying and more time enjoying your baby.

Meet Katherine

For as long as I can remember I have wanted to look after babies. In 1995 my dream came true when I trained at Great Ormond Street Hospital as a Paediatric Nurse.

 

I later moved to Paediatric Accident & Emergency at a London hospital.  I have had various Paediatric Nursing and Health Visiting roles and am also a Maternal Wellbeing Practitioner. 

Through my unique blend of qualifications and being a Mother of two myself, I am able to give you and your baby a truly holistic service with both practical and emotional support.
