Hi, I’m Katie Hickey, Vet, Doula, Mother and Podcaster.


Finding balance is hard, let us do it together.

 

Katie was instrumental in helping us achieve our dream birth. Her physical support during labour and mental support before birth were invaluable.

Birth Doula-ing


Let us work together in the antenatal period to help prepare you for birth. If your previous birth was traumatic let me support you through your subsequent birthing experiences. I want you to own your experience and go into your labour and birth with all the power and confidence that you deserve.

Planning birth after caesarean? You are probably feeling unsure and overwhelmed. Asking yourself, can I have a natural birth this time around? What are my choices? What can I do to increase my chances of having a positive birth experience? Let me answer all these questions in the Balanced Doula online VBAC course.

“A positive and empowering story that truly wouldn’t have been the same without you.”


Tipping the balance, a podcast with a difference.

We can all admit to wishing we had more balance in our lives. How many times have you said, "I just don't have the right balance at the moment." Maybe you think you need to work less, have more (or less!) time with your children, get outside more, exercise more, eat more healthily. Whatever it is you and almost everyone else has an idea of what balance means to them, their lives and their mental health. Tipping the balance explores these concepts with a range of different people. Parents, business owners, people living with grief, overcoming abuse, mental health specialists. We have it all here and I hope you can listen to these shows and feel in some way you have spent time tipping the balance in favour of your own mental health.
