Free Drop-In Group
If you are within driving distance of the Mornington Peninsula, why not come and see me at the Frankston South Early Parenting drop-in group. Here we provide FREE support with pregnancy/postpartum health questions, feeding, infant sleep & more. I'm joined here every week by a dedicated team of fellow volunteers, including professionals in midwifery, lactation consulting, counselling, post-partum support and more. Here in a warm and supportive group setting parents share their questions, concerns... and big-wins too!
Why not come and pick our brains. Need help with feeding? Does your newborn seem uncomfortable? Are they unable relax into sleep? Maybe you have a toddler who is awake in the night for hours, or perhaps you need some guidance on how to drop a nap without throwing your day into chaos. Whatever the question, just drop-in to join our group session, and tell us all about it. We'd love to see you.
Frankston South Community and Recreation Centre, Tuesdays, during term time, 11.30 to 2pm
Also Rye Community House, on the final Thursday of each month, during term time, from 10.30 to 1pm.

All welcome
"I’ve met Katie multiple times through her free Frankston south drop-in group (every Tuesday - completely free!!). Katie is so kind, knowledgeable, relatable and has such great advice. She makes everyone feel so welcome and validated at her sessions. You can also sign up to her weekly emails where she shares even more free resources like age appropriate sleep guides etc.
I will definitely be going back to her drop-in sessions."

Work With Me One-to-One
For Newborn Support, I recommend starting with a 1hr phone consultation. Ideal if you have questions and would like some reassurance about your baby's sleep or behaviour. It might be all you need for now.
What happens after you book?
Once I see your appointment pop up in my calendar, I'll send you an SMS to confirm. Please double check your contact details when booking.
I will then email through an intake questionnaire to help me gather useful insights into your situation. This is a shared Google document that you will be able to edit. It saves changes automatically so you can complete it a little at a time if you need to. There will be no need to copy it or email it back to me. As a shared document, changes are immediate, live and available for us both to see. You will have continued access to this document.
Need to reschedule? No problem. Please provide me with as much notice as possible and we can reschedule to a more convenient date and time.
Cancellations: Please give me as much notice as possible if you need to cancel. $50 cancellation fee if less than 24hrs notice provided.

“Katie helped us so much when our child was sleeping in mere 45 minute bursts for much of the night. I thought nothing could be done that would align with my parenting and meet my child’s needs AND improve sleep, and had just kind of resigned myself to waiting bad sleep out ...." read more

“Katie is the most lovely person and genuinely gentle sleep consultant. She was so accomodating of our values around cosleeping/breastfeeding/attachment which meant at no point did I feel out of my comfort zone..." read more

“Katie assisted us with our toddler twins’ sleep and helped enormously where other sleep consultants had not been able to. We went from wake ups every 3-4 hours (sometimes with both twins) to maybe one or two a night. She took a holistic approach and provided helpful new ideas....” read more
