TESTIMONIALS

Counselling

perinatal and parenting

Katie is hands down one of the most caring, genuine and beautiful women I have met in the health space. I had the pleasure of drawing upon Katie’s vast skills and knowledge during the postpartum period via a flexible support package. Definitely helpful in isolation when my usual go to support and mother’s groups were cancelled. Her approach is gentle and supportive, starting always with what her clients need (even working out together what that might be!). To find someone who practices what they preach is rare and something to hold onto! Thank you, Katie, I am so grateful and can highly recommend.

I joined 2 of Katie’s online groups through my pregnancy during covid and honestly, I’m not sure how I would have coped without them. Katie was amazing at holding space for everyone involved. It helped me to work through some big feelings as a pregnant mama, feel safe and held, and build a support network, as well as offering some really practical help and advice for after bub was born. Baby wearing has changed my world and I was so unsure before she lent a hand! I’m certain it would have been a different experience without her and will always be grateful to Katie for her help and support.

Katie is exceptional. She went above and beyond her health professional role to provide postnatal care during COVID19. When the council had put New Mother's groups in the too hard basket Katie was there to help us. She adapted her model of care to provide New Mums with connection, guidance, (and lasagna). I will be eternally grateful to Katie and highly recommend her.

I recently met Katie for pregnancy counselling and the session was invaluable. I have worked with Katie in other spaces and circles before, so I was aware of her positive energy and counselling skills, however in this 1-1 I was really able to see them shine. She is incredibly knowledgeable in the birth and pregnancy space, but during our session I felt like I was completely in control of how much information was offered. Katie was very considerate to where I was at in my pregnancy journey, asking thoughtful and sensitive questions, but mostly listening empathically. I left the session feeling energised and equipped. I would highly recommend working with Katie, she is amazing!

I feel so grateful to have found Katie. I’ve felt heard, acknowledged and supported. I’ve learnt why I’m being triggered and found so much healing within this space. I’ve learnt how to support my emotions, build a village, and how to prioritise myself which ultimately supports my family and allows me to show up to them as the best version of myself. I put so much value in our time together and would really hate to think what my life would look like if I hadn’t taken the first step of contacting you. Thank you so much Katie.

Making the transition to motherhood was far more challenging than I’d anticipated. Having Katie’s support through the early stages of my matresence journey felt like I had a reassuring, kind and practical mentor by my side. I felt like I was receiving an honest perspective I could instantly trust and was validated in my approach helping me to return to tuning in to my motherly intuition. Katie generously shared her wisdom and targeted resources to support what was coming up for me on the journey in the moment. Thank you Katie, your offering to mothers is so critical at this time.

Receiving online support from Katie has been a Godsend during this challenging time at home full time with a toddler and a baby. I've felt so supported knowing I can chat through anything with Katie that comes up for me in my parenting, and feel really heard and understood. Thanks Katie for listening, sharing your wisdom and guiding me through my journey towards becoming a more mindful parent.

'Gather' (Mothers' Circle)

mini retreat

I had no idea what to expect when signing up for Gather, I thought a yoga and sound healing session would be great. But I got so much more than I could have imagined, a safe place to simply be, to release things that I didn't realise I was holding that needing to be released. Gather was like a big warm hug from a close friend that this mama had no idea I was craving.
Kate
I loved the afternoon so much. Thank you for holding space for me and making me feel safe. It really empowered me to be myself, especially after hearing others with similar values. It helped me feel less alone. I think connecting or relating to people online is great but there's something about physically meeting or talking with someone that is truly connected and I reeeeally need more of that.
Stacey
It’s making me teary to even read. Thank you for allowing me to touch back in with myself and not feel like I had to hold back out of fear of being too much. Thank you for the permission to let things flow, it was all so very powerful. Thank you so much. I can’t express the difference the space you made and held has made to bring me back to my body. I’ve never experienced a women’s circle like that. Thank you xo.
Rani
The space that Katie created for mothers to come together felt so safe and magical. Women coming together in circle is a sacred practice which Katie leads so beautifully. It was safe for me to share my feelings, to express my feelings and to receive the wisdom I needed at that time. I am so grateful for the work that Katie does.
Pixie
It was so incredibly beautiful and healing to participate in your women's circle at Expansion Yoga. I'm so blessed to have connected with the tribe of amazing mothers you are supporting. It was an amazing afternoon and I walked out feeling so much calmer and connected, even amidst the crazy times we're all experiencing. Can't wait for the next one!

'Nurtured'

business mentoring program

Working with Katie has been an absolute delight! Drawing on her own experience, training and success, she provides the kind of guidance you won't get from other, mainstream businesses coaches! She manages to identify your unique strengths and talents and helps you to realise them.

Not only do you get Katie, but her amazing network of professionals who each offer their own unique wisdom to mums like me starting out in business. But more than any of that, in Katie's group mentoring courses, I have been gifted my own network of amazing mums in business who not only cheer me on, but support me and offer opportunities to collaborate and grow our businesses together.

It was so lovely being a part of Katie’s Nurtured mentoring group. Katie was so supportive of all of the thoughts, fears and worries that I had being a mother who was launching a small business I always felt it was a safe space to share and celebrate with Katie and the other women in the group.

Katie brings loads of knowledge, care, and thoughtfulness to her work and is a gift to women and mothers who are looking for some soul-led support.

Being part of Katie's Nurtured program was incredible, it really gave me the confidence I needed to believe in myself, and to take the next steps for my business. Katie's knowledge, support and understanding of business mum life was just what I needed to stop just playing out my ideas in my head, and actually get the wheels moving to create the business and life that I want.

The fortnightly circles were amazing, I always left feeling held and supported, and more often than not super excited and inspired! Having the opportunity to share with and listen to other mums in business was so freeing, it really opened my eyes to the possibilities of business alongside motherhood, and made me feel much less alone in it all. Almost like having my own cheer squad!

Thank you Katie for your support and for providing such a safe, nurtured environment. Highly recommended.

Participating in Katie's Nurtured program was the catalyst I needed to kickstart my business and turn ideas into action. Katie's greatest strength lies in her authenticity. She conveys warmth, genuineness, and integrity in everything she does.

Participating in her circles provided an opportunity to not only understand key business concepts but allowed deeper reflection on my own personal and professional experiences and expectations. Katie was able to foster a safe space where vulnerability was welcomed and encouraged. I would thoroughly recommend Katie Parker to any woman contemplating starting their own business.

Katie's holistic approach meant she acknowledges the complexity of being both a mother and businesswoman.

I have joined all five rounds of Katie's Nurtured business mentoring program. She has facilitated the growth of my business, from non-existent to a blossoming successful business.

Having Katie to guide, hold space, invite, offer her skills and knowledge to me has been absolutely inspiring. I feel so lucky to have been part of her programs and I know that I will be connected with the women I have met in these groups for life. How amazing that women can support women in such a beautiful uplifting way. And all thanks to Katie.

I'm looking forward to working more with Katie in the future (in fact I would talk to her for hours if I could!!) If you have a little idea or a tingle in your tummy, or you need new inspiration in your current soul led business, I encourage you to dive into whatever Katie is currently offering.

I have just completed 6 weeks of small group business mentoring with Katie Parker. Under her coaching I stepped my yoga business forward in many different aspects and ran my first online course with more sign ups than I thought possible. She provided supportive space for the group to share our struggles and celebrate our wins. Thank you, Katie, for all your support and guidance.
VanessaYoga Instructor
Being in a safe container with Katie and all of her experience and knowledge in starting up a small business has been so useful to me - especially as I was in an intensive stage of parenting with my toddler just as I was starting my business. She was able to coach me through that, giving me the tools that I needed, not just in business, but in parenting too. That’s what’s so wonderful about what Katie offers – she brings the parenting and business support together and does this so beautifully. I’m so grateful for the support I’ve received from Katie, she has made me feel so safe.
