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,

I hear it all the time: “We’ll see how we get on…” Don’t wait until weaning feels overwhelming to ask for support. Get it before you start, or if you’ve started and it feels too much, get in touch.

Books, apps, ChatGPT, Instagram and TikTok can give you information, but time and time again, parents tell me how anxious it makes them.

Weaning has changed in a generation. Grandparents’ advice is golden, but things can feel confusing. And without the weekly Health Visitor clinics I used to run, it’s easy to get lost in the noise.

Then the choking videos appear, allergy advice takes over your feed, and it feels like everyone else is doing better than you.

You don’t have to wait until you feel lost.

I’m Katherine, a Paediatric Nurse, Health Visitor and mum of two. Through Weaning Without Worry™, I’ll help you unpick your worries, understand first aid for weaning and build confidence, wherever you are on your journey, in your home, in my Studio or online.

✨ Join my LIVE online Weaning Q&A
📅 Thursday 22 October | 8–9pm
☕ Ask your questions from the comfort of your sofa! Link in bio to book.

Already started and feeling overwhelmed? You’re welcome.

Next in-person workshop at my cosy Studio in the woods (GU26 6DG): Monday 9 November, 1.30–4pm. Babies welcome, or book a course at home with friends, family or just for you.

Let’s make weaning feel simple.

🦷TEETHING & WEANING ARE INSEPARABLE!

Throughout much of your baby’s Weaning journey, teeth are making their way through which can mean sore, inflamed gums just when they’re learning to eat!

And here’s something to think about…

❄️ Even if it’s freezing February and you’re craving a warm, comforting meal, your baby might prefer something cool and soothing.

Try these ideas:
🥣 Cool, full-fat Greek yoghurt - delicious on its own or stirred into suitable foods.
🥒 Cucumber batons with hummus or a thin layer of smooth nut butter.
🍞 Chilled bread or toast fingers, prepared safely for your baby’s age and abilities.
🍽️ Your usual family meal, cooled down or served chilled where appropriate.

Follow your baby’s cues, offer a variety of textures and temperatures, and don’t worry if their appetite fluctuates.

It’s not about making separate meals. It’s about understanding your baby’s needs and adapting along the way 🤍

That’s Weaning Without Worry™ — practical advice to help you feel calmer and more confident. Next Workshop at the Studio - Monday 9th November 1.30-4pm, babies welcome or why not host a course in your home or here at the Studio. 1:1 appointments available at the Studio or online, or check out my First Aid for Weaning online course to watch in your own time

Save this for those teething days and share with someone else it will help! 🦷

HOW ARE YOU, REALLY? 🤍

Not just “I’m fine, thanks.”
Not just “I’m tired!”

But how are YOU, underneath it all?

Motherhood brings so many changes.

🧠 Baby brain is real.
🤍 Your hormones shift.
✨ Your identity evolves.
🫶 Your boundaries are tested.
😴 Sleep deprivation takes its toll.

You can adore your baby and still miss parts of your old life.

You can feel incredibly lucky and still find motherhood overwhelming.

You can love being a mum and still need a little space to just be YOU.

Yet how often do we get to talk about these things honestly? Without judgement, without feeling we should be coping better, without pretending we’re fine?

That’s what Soul-Full Mama is all about.

A welcoming space to talk, share, laugh, offload and explore the things we don’t always feel able to say out loud.

To realise you’re not alone.
To reconnect with yourself.
To feel a little more YOU again. ❤️

✨ Our next course starts 2nd November 10.30-12 for 5 gorgeous Mondays. The best start to the week.

If you’ve been craving time for yourself and the chance to feel truly understood, I’d love you to join us. You will enjoy relaxation with your baby, supportive discussions with Mums who get it, we will build a toolkit to help you navigate the highs and lows of motherhood, cuppa ☕️ wellness treats. A WhatsApp group and pub lunch on the last week.

📩 Message me with any questions. You can book on the website or message me.

Looking after you matters but also helps your baby,

A little BTS of Baby Steps this Autumn… 🍂☕️

Cuppa in my new mug.
Autumn leaves in the garden.
Cosy Studio days.
Planning what’s coming next.

And, in amongst it all, being Mum to my teenagers.

The school and college runs.
The lifts here, there and everywhere.
The chats in the car.
Those little pockets of time together that I know won’t always be there, especially with my daughter learning to drive!

So I’m trying to treasure the everyday bits a little more.

Because motherhood changes so much as they grow… and I feel very lucky that Baby Steps allows me to spend my working life supporting mums right at the very beginning of that journey.

20 years on, some things have changed…

And some things really haven’t. 🤍

There’s lots happening at Baby Steps this Autumn:
