Katie Parker Perinatal and Parenting Support

Hi! I’m Katie. I am a Social Worker, Postpartum Doula, Parent Educator and Women’s Circle Facilitator.

I live in Warragul with my partner, two children aged 7 and 5 and two dogs.

I support parents during pregnancy, the postpartum period and further along their parenting journey with things such as:

- Preparing for & adjusting to parenthood

- Transitioning from one to two (or more) children

- Birth debriefing & trauma counselling

-nPerinatal depression & anxiety -nInfant/toddler sleep - Perinatal & infant loss - Building your village - Self-care, self-compassion & mindfulness practices

-nChallenging behaviour & emotion regulation - Guilt & anger in parenthood - Identity changes & the feeling of having “lost” oneself in motherhood

- Bringing more joy to parenting

-nPushing back against the “shoulds” of The Perfect Mother Myth

- Exploring your social conditioning & the impact of your childhood experiences on your parenting

I currently offer individual and couple counselling/parenting support in Warragul/online and run parenting workshops and Mothers’ Circles in Warragul.

I also provide support and mentoring to Mums in business (and those thinking about starting their own business).

I have an exciting new offering for Mums at any stage of their mothering journey coming later this year.

To be kept in the loop about that and other offerings, as well as receive my monthly blog about a whole range of pregnancy/postpartum/parenting topics,

I invite you to sign up to my mailing list at www.katieparker.com.au. I would love to connect with you!
