We cannot recommend Kate highly enough. Everyone that we meet that is expecting we rave about Kate and The Wonders Within! The tools and knowledge Kate shared during the CalmBirth course and the Preparing for Baby course gave us confidence and empowered us to make the best decisions in each moment so far; from birth to bringing our beautiful Samuel home. Thank you Kate from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to sit with us and help prepare us for the amazing journey that is parenthood.” Ashlee (Google Review)
