Hello there, I’m so glad you dropped by.
I'm a facilitator, author and speaker who helps sensitive people navigate the mighty menopause transition and live a vibrant, creative, second half of life.
Just in case you were wondering, you do not need improving, you are not a ‘fixer-upper’.
You are a beautiful, fallible human operating in an imperfect world that can make you feel that you’re not good enough.
Welcome to a corner of the internet that’s stuffed full of validation, positivity and the possibility that despite the challenges, menopause can take you towards a more vibrant, fulfilled life.

What it's like working with me
Doula Service
Kate has a deep capacity to hold space with compassion, integrity and generosity in which discomfort and resistance can be softened and wondrous and unexpected things can unfold. Forgotten parts are tended to and welcomed back. The ripples from our year-long journey are still rippling.
Mitlé Southey
Professional mentoring
A small group of women, held, supported, and nudged with curious questions felt like it nurtured us all, enabling me to show up as truly myself, and connect to what I really wanted to offer the world, and how I wanted to offer it.
Lesley Waldron
Perimenopause group
A game changer for anyone in menopause. Coming together in community has profoundly changed my view of this journey. I now feel comforted and supported. Kate’s presence is a grounding force, and I felt utterly safe and held.
Jasmine Elmer

We were grateful to have Kate do a session on perimenopause. The session allow us to bring together a community of people, we also had employee come away from the session feeling re-assured and supported. Kates session was interactive allowing our people to share their own experiences and provided a safe space to connect and engage. I couldn't recommend Kates sessions enough.

You're get your hands on those resources in just a tick
Gazillions of pounds are generated out of making us feel bad about ourselves, and if you are a highly sensitive person, or in menopause, this can be challenging.
I believe that even when you feel terrible you can still find your own way to live contentedly and creatively. Often, what we need is to rest, soothe our nervous systems, to get quiet enough to be able to listen to our intuition and really hear what our bodies need.
This is pretty much what I offer, using more than three decades of therapeutic experience combined with the wisdom of the seasons. If you feel drawn, it would be a great privilege to hold space for you to let go and find threads of joy and ease within yourself.
