About your Registered Calmbirth Educator

Kate Corbett is a midwife, Calmbirth® educator and baby massage facilitator. Kate has had a passion for working with families for the past 14 years. She began her career as a paediatric nurse before becoming a registered midwife in 2007. As a midwife Kate has worked in partnership with women and their partners across the pregnancy, labour, birth and postnatal periods.

Kate has been a Calmbirth® educator for the past 6 years; running courses on the Northern beaches, at Sydney Adventist Hospital and on the Central Coast. Kate is also runs baby massage groups on the Central Coast.

Calmbirth® Birth Classes

As a midwife Kate observed many benefits that couples experienced when preparing for birth with the Calmbirth® childbirth program.  She noted how much calmer and confident couples were when they had knowledge and understanding of the birth process along with practical skills. In 2014 Kate became a registered Calmbirth® educator to share this knowledge.

In the Calmbirth® classes couples learn about how a woman’s body works during labour and birth, breaking down misconceptions about the birth process that can evoke fear and mistrust. There is also an emphasis on understanding the power of the mind-body connection as stress and relaxation directly effect the uterine muscles and hormones during labour. The course enables couples to develop a toolkit of practical skills to use throughout the birth. These skills include relaxation, breathing, massage and acupressure which can enhance a woman’s ability to work with her body during labour.

Kate provides small group Calmbirth® classes in East Gosford, New South Wale at Central Coast Body Mechanics. Kate’s classes combine her midwifery and Calmbirth knowledge along with insights from her own personal Calmbirth birthing experiences.

Kate looks forward to supporting you during this important time of preparation. Book your course on the Central Coast https://thewonderswithin.com.au/book-a-calmbirth-class/
