I’m Kate- Founder of Grow to Nurture

I’m a mum of 4 beautiful children- 3 boys & 1 girl.

I’m also a Registered Division one Nurse, Midwife and Maternal and Child health nurse.

My Journey started with my eldest Son, who challenged me straight off with his lack of sleep and severe reflux and now one very adventurous and strong willed/free spirited individual. The parent who I wanted to be prior to parenthood was challenged. I felt triggered and lost and desperate to find an answer. The answer I found came from deep within me, after a lot of soul searching and transformation. Grow to Nurture evolved into a deep passion of mine to not only grow and seek freedom as a mum and individual but to assist other parents to be that parent they want to be with the freedom they desire. Grow to nurture is a holistic parenting initiative that encompasses philosophies of Rudolf Steiner, Aware Parenting, RIE Parenting, Attachment Parenting and your own individual family values/philosophies.

Grow to nurture embodies connections, fun, respect, emotional intimacy and mutual trust with all the relationships one may hold in life. Grow to nurture is my passion and one that I hold very close to my heart, along with all the families I support.

I’m forever grateful to my children for the gift they have given me to strive to be a better person for not only my children but my authentic self.

I would feel honoured to assist your beautiful family and build a community that nurtures not only ourselves but others around us.

Outside of Grow to nurture I enjoy spending time with my family, local markets, gardening, beach, nature walks, art/crafts, meditation/yoga, continual personal transformation, health/nutrition and fitness and broadening my knowledge about various things through books, workshops/courses and podcasts.

I am currently completing my accreditation in NDC (Neuroprotective developmental Care: Possums approach) & completing my masters in Maternal and child Health Nursing.
