About Katherine:
For as long as I can remember I have wanted to look after babies. I had a nanny job in my gap year & had a place at Great Ormond Street Hospital to train as a Paediatric Nurse before my friends had any idea what they wanted to do! On qualifying, I worked at Great Ormond Street before moving to Paediatric Accident & Emergency at a London hospital where I continue to work. I have been in the NHS nearly 3 decades!I have had various Paediatric Nursing roles, as a Registered Health Visitor in the community & hospital & in 2006, I trained to be a Certified Infant Massage Instructor. I was blown away by the benefits for parents and babies. The classes have been such a special part of my work supporting parents ever since. Back in 2006, while working as a Paediatric Nurse, Health Visitor in London, I recognised the need for a relaxed and friendly service to address common parental concerns & Baby Steps was born. Offering courses in Baby & Child First Aid, Weaning, Baby Massage & Relaxation. My mission remains the same 'To give reassurance and confidence to a parent and baby everyday'. I feel I have the best job in the world.

I am Mummy to Isabella and William, which makes everyday magic....and full on! Being a parent has exceeded all I could have wished for but it is also harder than I could have imagined!! I’ve been there……

After running Baby Steps in London for 13 years, we moved to Hampshire. Here I have a beautiful studio in the woods which offers a calm cocoon for new parents and babies. And now with online too, I can help even more families. I can not wait to support you and your little one,

WOW… week 1 of Soul-Full Mama and already mums saying “I don’t feel alone anymore” 🤍

Mums walking in feeling overwhelmed…
and leaving feeling lighter, calmer, not so alone.

After just one session, they shared:
✨ “I don’t feel alone anymore”
✨ “I loved the honesty”
✨ “It feels like such a safe space”

This is what happens when you create space to pause…
to breathe…
to be real.

No judgement.
No pressure.
Just honest sharing, supportive chat, and a room full of mums who get it.

We celebrate the wins too —
and here, nothing is too small 🤍

Because sometimes getting out the house…
or making it through the morning…
is the win.

“Relaxed Parent, Happy Baby” isn’t just a sign on the wall…
it’s how it feels in the room ✨

If your Mondays feel heavy, this is your gentle reset.

Next Soul-Full Mama course starts 1st June (5 weeks)
✨ Make Monday morning the best start to your week

I would LOVE to share it with you,

Weaning doesn’t have to stop just because you’ve left the house 🤍

In fact… some of the loveliest moments with my babies happened when it’s a little bit spontaneous, a little bit messy, and completely real life ☀️ it’s my favourite time of year for Weaning ‘al fresco’!

Whether you’re in the park, at a café, on a picnic blanket or just grabbing a moment on a bench - your baby can absolutely join in.

You don’t need a perfectly packed kit or a Pinterest-worthy set-up.
You just need a little confidence, a few simple go-to ideas… and permission to keep it relaxed. Remember they can always just have a bit of your food.

In this video I’m sharing super practical tips to help you feel calm and confident with al fresco weaning - so you can get out, enjoy your day, and include your baby without the stress 🤍

Because weaning should fit into your life… not the other way around.

If this is something you’ve been worrying about, save this for later and let me know - what’s your biggest concern about feeding your baby when you’re out?

If you’re about to start weaning, or want to feel calmer and more confident:

✨ Weaning Without Worry™ Workshop
📍 In-person at my calm, cosy Studio
🗓 Thursday 16th April | 10:30–1pm
👶 Babies & grandparents welcome

And if you’re already in it and feeling overwhelmed…
I offer 1:1 support (online or in the Studio) to help you cut through the noise and feel like you again.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone 🤍

✨ – Eve will be offering a soothing neck & shoulder massage or a facial sculpt massage to melt away tension.
✨ Plus you create a beautiful keepsake to treasure.

There’ll be calming music, lovely refreshments, and supportive chat with other mums who get it. No rushing. No pressure. Just warmth, connection and a little bit of well-deserved care.

📍 In the cosy Baby Steps Studio
💛 £30 per family (one parent + children)

If you’re starting weaning… this is your gentle reminder 💛

Food can be full of flavour from the very beginning.

✔ Herbs (fresh or dried)
✔ Garlic & gentle spices (build up gradually)
✔ Cooking oils + good fats
✔ Unsalted butter
✔ Full-fat yoghurt, cream, coconut milk

These don’t just add taste… they boost calories too - which growing babies need.

And here’s something lovely to remember…
Babies are born with more taste buds than adults (around 10,000 vs ~5,000), so they experience flavour in a much richer way.

This is such a special window to introduce a wide range of tastes…
…helping them grow into confident, curious eaters 🤍

No need to overcomplicate it.
No need to strip food back to bland.

Just real food, ideally just taking a portion from your food & adjusting texture as needed, gently introduced, with flavour and love.

If you’re about to start weaning, or want to feel calmer and more confident:

📍 In-person at my calm, cosy Studio
🗓 Thursday 16th April | 10:30–1pm

Because sometimes one hand is all you’ve got 🤍

Quick, nourishing snacks to keep your energy up while you cuddle, feed and take care of you - because you matter too.

It’s not about perfection… it’s about small, easy wins that keep your energy steady and your cup a little fuller.

Think:
✨ Grab-and-go
✨ One-handed
✨ No prep (or very little!)
✨ Actually satisfying and yummy

You deserve to feel nourished, not running on empty.

Full ideas over on the blog ✨

Not everything marketed to parents is necessary - or safe. I see this all the time in my classes and A&E.

No judgement but when you have a baby, it’s easy to feel like you need all the products being marketed to you 🤍

Here’s the reality:

🚩 You are being heavily marketed to
🚩 Not everything is evidence-based
🚩 Not everything is recommended by medical professionals
🚩 More products ≠ more safety

Influencers with affiliate links and companies with big marketing budgets often have a louder voice than professionals trying to keep you informed and safe.

I’m here to change that 🤍
✨ To be a calm voice in the noise
✨ To give you clear, trusted guidance
✨ So you can feel confident — without needing more stuff

Some examples I’ll be breaking down individually:

❌ Anti-choking devices (e.g. LifeVac) — not endorsed, can delay first aid, and will you know how to use it in an emergency?
❌ Helmets / protective backpacks — babies need to learn to balance and fall safely
❌ Electric nail files — can cause bleeding; a soft file while asleep works best

This isn’t about doing anything wrong.
It’s about cutting through the noise and coming back to what actually matters: safe, simple, evidence-based guidance.

👇 Tell me… what baby product are you unsure about or thinking of buying?
