Summary
After years of establishing a successful career as a voice artist and stage/film actor, motherhood took Kate on an unexpected plot twist as the pandemic hit alongside the birth of her first born. Recognising the lack of support for mothers during this time, she used the career 'pause' to train as a breastfeeding specialist as well as an ante-/postnatal & birth advocate. This has snowballed in tandem with her own mama journey and now exists as an online platform focusing on maternal mental health and wellbeing as well as luxe 'mama only events' across the capital which she hosts in person, oftentimes with special guests / industry professionals.
