About Katherine:
For as long as I can remember I have wanted to look after babies. I had a nanny job in my gap year & had a place at Great Ormond Street Hospital to train as a Paediatric Nurse before my friends had any idea what they wanted to do! On qualifying, I worked at Great Ormond Street before moving to Paediatric Accident & Emergency at a London hospital where I continue to work. I have been in the NHS nearly 3 decades!I have had various Paediatric Nursing roles, as a Registered Health Visitor in the community & hospital & in 2006, I trained to be a Certified Infant Massage Instructor. I was blown away by the benefits for parents and babies. The classes have been such a special part of my work supporting parents ever since. Back in 2006, while working as a Paediatric Nurse, Health Visitor in London, I recognised the need for a relaxed and friendly service to address common parental concerns & Baby Steps was born. Offering courses in Baby & Child First Aid, Weaning, Baby Massage & Relaxation. My mission remains the same 'To give reassurance and confidence to a parent and baby everyday'. I feel I have the best job in the world.
​
I am Mummy to Isabella and William, which makes everyday magic....and full on! Being a parent has exceeded all I could have wished for but it is also harder than I could have imagined!! I’ve been there……

After running Baby Steps in London for 13 years, we moved to Hampshire. Here I have a beautiful studio in the woods which offers a calm cocoon for new parents and babies. And now with online too, I can help even more families. I can not wait to support you and your little one,

❌ Please do not buy - they don’t meet Safe Sleep recommendations.

I completely understand why these baby patting devices appeal to parents 🤍
When you’re exhausted and just want your baby to settle, anything that promises comfort - especially something that “mimics the womb” - feels like it makes sense.

But this is where marketing unfortunately doesn’t meet the recommendations.

According to The Lullaby Trust guidance, babies should always sleep:

• On their back
• On a firm, flat mattress
• In a clear cot (no toys, positioning aids, or devices)

This product:
– Position baby on their side, not their back
– Bring baby’s face close into soft materials, increasing suffocation risk
– Can trap heat, raising the risk of overheating

If you’re feeling unsure, overwhelmed or just want to feel confident…

This is exactly why I do what I do 🤍

✔️ I have a free guides you can download - link in bio
✔️ My Baby & Child First Aid ⛑️ & Home Safety courses (in person at my Studio or in your home or I have online courses from your sofa! 🛋️ ) give you calm, practical confidence
✔️ So you’re not relying on products… you’re trusting yourself

Because peace of mind doesn’t come from gadgets
It comes from knowing what to do. Comment YES & I will get in touch to see how I can best help you

"I wish I had booked this sooner" ✨ Weaning Without Worry Workshop ✨
📍 Friday 15th May | 10:00–12:30
🌿 Studio in the woods (babies welcome) GU26 6DG

If Weaning has been sitting in the back of your mind…
if you’ve been meaning to “look into it properly”…or you have and are feeling overwhelmed
or if you’re already in it but still not feeling confident - this is for you.

This is one of those mornings that mums often say they wish they’d booked sooner.

My approach brings everything back to simple, calm, trusted guidance:

• 🥄 Clear, practical weaning steps
No overthinking. No confusion. Just exactly what to do, when to start, and how to move forward with ease

• 🍼 Safety without fear
Choking, gagging, allergies - explained in a way that helps you feel calm, not anxious or overwhelmed

• 💛 Confidence & emotional reassurance
Because this stage can bring so much doubt - and you deserve to feel steady, supported, and trusting yourself

You’ll leave feeling:
✨ Lighter in your mind
✨ Clear on what to do next
✨ Less pulled in every direction by advice
✨ More confident in how Weaning will work for your family

And you’ll probably wonder why it ever felt so complicated.

💷 £45 per person
💛 £40 per person when friends or family book together

Includes refreshments, home comforts, and time to actually pause with your baby - no rushing, no pressure.

🌿 Easy parking right outside
🌿 A calm woodland studio space where you can arrive, exhale, and settle in

These workshops tend to book quietly but quickly - and I always wish I had more space for the mums who message after asking if there’s “any chance of a last minute spot”.

Just get in touch or share with someone this will help,

“I came for First Aid course…and left ready for Weaning.”

This happened again in my course this week.

Their worries were so familiar:

• What if they gag?
• What if they choke?
• What about allergies?
• How do I know what foods are safe?

And honestly, this happens almost every time I teach First Aid.

Because the truth is…

First Aid and Weaning are inseparable.

Parents want to start solids feeling prepared, calm and confident, but when you're unsure about choking, gagging or allergies it can make every meal feel stressful.

That’s exactly why I’ve created different ways to support parents at every stage of weaning.

✨ First Aid for Weaning (Online Course)
Essential first aid knowledge so you feel prepared and confident before starting solids.
https://www.baby-steps.co.uk/first-aid-for-weaning

✨ Weaning Without Worry Workshop
Friday 15th May 10am-12.30 at the Baby Steps Studio in the woods GU26 6DG
Practical weaning step by step guidance plus the key first aid skills to give you the best possible start to weaning. Includes teething, cups, shop bought baby food, weaning kit, using family food and time saving hacks
https://www.baby-steps.co.uk/weaning

✨ Weaning Without Worry Clinic
1:1 support at any stage of weaning through to toddlers, where we unpick your individual concerns.
https://www.baby-steps.co.uk/weaning-without-worry-clinic

So often this comes down to the real-life challenges parents face - meal prep, food ideas, routines and day-to-day weaning struggles.

Together we:
• find practical solutions that work for your family
• iron out first aid worries
• reduce stress to create happy, healthy mealtimes

Because weaning shouldn’t feel overwhelming.

If you would like support with weaning or first aid…

Comment “WEANING” below and I will get in touch to help you find the best way I can support you or book your place for my May workshop,

I can't wait to support you,
