Mentoring, Circles & Writing Spaces for Women & Mothers.

Trust the process of becoming, and feel your life expand around it.

This is a space for the whole of you.

I’m here for the women and the mothers who are ready to reclaim their creative, wise, playful selves.

I’m Katie.

I love that you’re here!

I’m mother to Billy, 6 and Scarlett, 4. We live life without school on the South Coast of NSW, Australia.

I’m a mentor, a meaning maker and a facilitator.

Since making my way from the UK over to Australia almost a decade ago, with a backpack and big dreams, my life has shifted and transformed in many ways. I have met myself many times over and continue to do so daily!

Becoming a mother and experiencing the inner transformation of matrescence threw everything in my world upside down - everything became up for negotiation - the way we would spend our days, my work, my creativity, my neurospicy ways, our lifestyle, our values and where we call home - all of this has taken me to my depths. It’s big work!

The girl's face is hidden behind a large, red, open-mouth graphic and an eye and eyebrow graphic, creating a collage effect. There are additional graphic elements, including hands forming a triangle, a purple hydrangea flower, a black silhouette of a butterfly, and torn paper with handwritten text that reads 'you are beautiful.'

what I do

I am here for the women and mothers who know they must return to their voices, share their stories and own their unique wisdom.

Ever felt like…

you’ve been shapeshifting to meet others’ expectations of you and you’ve lost your original form?

you want to take up more space, but you don’t know how without feeling like you’re being too much?

you rehearse what you want to say, but end up swallowing your words?

you’re constantly translating everyone else’s needs, while yours get lost in translation?

you’ve mistaken self-silencing for being a good woman or good mother?

your anger gets rerouted into guilt before it can speak?

you’re performing ‘calm’ while something inside you is screaming to be heard?

you’ve learned to ask for less, so you won’t feel disappointed?

you’re inner knowing gets overridden by what’s more convenient for others?

you’ve become highly attuned to others, yet more disconnected from yourself?

you’re outgrowing the version of yourself that those around you know?

you’re carrying the grief of the woman you used to be, and you have no place to honour & grieve her?

When I became a mother, I began to realise just how much I craved the support, wisdom and presence of other women. Elders, women with kids of similar and different ages, maiden friends…all kinds of women. I wanted to seek out deep connections, ones where we could be really honest about our experiences of womanhood and motherhood.

I wanted to be around other women because I knew that if we were to dive deep, let ourselves and our stories be heard, really get to nitty, gritty bones of being a woman in our society AND share our wildly creative dreams and desires with each other, we were going to need each other.

All of my work today stems from that deep knowing.

Stories are the stars we navigate by; their lessons are deep and rich. Anywhere, there may be a door to another world: learn to look for it. Always leave a trail of breadcrumbs to find your way out of the dark wood. Don’t maim yourself trying to fit into the glass slipper which was made for someone else. Gold is never a good goal. Never take your skin off and leave it unattended.

  • What is it like to work with me?...

    “I attended a matrescence mentoring session with Katie and it was exactly what my body needed. I walked into the session very stressed, full of guilt for wanting me time but also not wanting to leave the kids. I left feeling more confident in myself, my judgement and over all much more relaxed. The session was a bit over a week ago and I still have things popping up for me, that are great reflections when I'm about to fall into this guilt cycle again. Also, I felt an overall comfort for all my feelings (the ones that are typically seen as negative) resentment, frustration, rage.“

  • What's it like to work with me?

    “I’ve absolutely loved my weekly dose of Wild Tongue! Katie creates such a lovely, safe and creative space for writing together as women. It’s a very powerful and healing experience to sit and write like this, with your weekly words being witnessed by the rest of the women in the group. I always feel uplifted and more open after each gathering, so much so that I’ve already signed up for the next Wild Tongue.”

    Tora (Wild Tongue attendee)

  • What's it like to work with me?

    “Had the most inspiring experience last night at Katie’s taster session for her writing circle. There is something so magical about sitting in circle with amazing women, seeing where a piece of writing takes you and then sharing each others words. Extremely cathartic and also invigorating to get to share such a passion. Who knew such simple prompts could be so revealing! Thank you Katie, you made this really special - can’t wait for the series”.

    Jenny, Wild Tongue attendee

  • What's it like to work with me?

    “Katie’s warmth and the way she can hold space in her yoga classes meant I was saying “hell yes” to her first ever women’s circle. It proved to be an incredible experience making me go back for as many as I could. It was like coming home to something I never knew was missing in my life. I love the way she holds the circle with boundaries making it safe and nourishing with a lightness that also makes it feel so easy and natural but also with immense depth and knowing. It always feels like we could be in any time or space as women have done for thousands of years and will continue to into the future.

    I would not hesitate to recommend this to every woman in my life”

    Chloe, Women’s Circle attendee

  • What's it like to work with me?

    “I’ve attended multiple women’s circles with Katie, and each one has felt like a beautiful exhale.

    There’s never any pressure to be anything but yourself as she creates such a safe, grounded space where you can show up exactly as you are.

    Her presence is calm and real. You can feel that she’s deeply connected to this work, there’s wisdom in everything she shares, and a softness that makes you feel seen, valued, and safe. What I love most is how honest she is. Katie doesn’t perform perfection - she shows up in alignment with her own cycle and life, and that authenticity gives everyone permission to do the same.

    These circles are rest for your soul. If you’ve never been to one, go. You’ll leave feeling held, heard, and not so alone”
