Hi. I’m Kate.
Your whole-hearted mentor for life.
I’m a holistic life coach, somatic practitioner, author, and speaker with postgraduate qualifications in education, neuroscience and applied health.
I’ve spent the last two decades working in education and wellbeing, always with the same question in mind:
How can I help women of all ages feel more at home in themselves and confident to live the life that has meaning for them?
My Approach: Science + Soul + Self
Women don’t need more advice.
They need understanding — of how their nervous system works, why they respond the way they do, and what their body is trying to communicate.
My coaching blends:
Neuroscience and nervous-system literacy
Somatic tools that help regulate from the inside out
Values-based behaviour change
Gentle mindset work without toxic positivity
Compassion, humour, and real-world practicality
-
My years as an educator taught me how people learn, how stress shapes behaviour, and how deeply women influence the wellbeing of their families and communities. I also saw how many women give so much without understanding their own needs or strengths.
That’s why education is central to my work now.
When women understand how their mind and body work together, they gain clarity, confidence, and long-term wellbeing — and that ripple benefits everyone around them. -
I’ve always been fascinated by the mind-body connection.
Postgraduate study in neuroscience deepened my understanding of stress, trauma, nervous system regulation, and behaviour change — giving me the research-backed tools to help women make real, lasting shifts. -
I learned that insight alone isn’t enough.
Your body also holds your patterns, your stories, and your stress.
So I trained in somatic coaching, breathwork, and mind-body practices that help women reconnect with their inner cues, soften overwhelm, and build self-trust from the inside out.Her Nurtured Life is where all of this comes together — science, soul, and the lived reality of being a woman who’s doing her best.
The Elemental Method is at the heart of my work.
My approach is science-led, body-aware, and gently transformative.
Everything I do at Her Nurtured Life is guided by my signature framework;
Earth • Air • Fire • Water
— a four-part pathway that reflects how real change unfolds in the mind and body.
This method weaves together current neuroscience, somatic awareness, and intuitive reflection. It’s designed to support you to shift in ways that feel steady and sustainable — never pushed, rushed, or overwhelming.
It’s a compassionate, evidence-informed way of helping women move from stress and survival into clarity, energy, and flow… one grounded step at a time.
The Elemental Method™
A Framework for Real Change
-
Earth
Grounding
We begin by grounding.
You’ll understand your patterns, calm your system, and reconnect with what genuinely matters. This creates the stability your mind and body need before change can take root. -
Air
Clarity
Next, we soften mental noise.
You’ll create space to think clearly, release internal pressure, and breathe again. This phase helps you see yourself and your life with new perspective and understanding. -
Fire
Confidence
Then we rebuild momentum.
Here, we strengthen boundaries, restore vitality, and take aligned, purposeful action. It’s about moving forward in a way that aligns with your spirit and that your mind and body can actually support -
Water
Flow
Finally, we integrate.
You’ll nurture consistency, embed new habits, and cultivate a rhythm of living that feels like you — calm, confident, and sure.
What I Believe;
I believe women are powerful when they feel supported, resourced, and grounded.
I believe change doesn’t need to be dramatic to be meaningful.
I believe rest is productive.
I believe clarity comes when we stop overriding our own cues.
I believe the body tells the truth long before the mind catches up.
And I believe every woman deserves a healthy life that feels like hers.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll usually find me by the ocean or in the forests of the Mid-North Coast of New South Wales. I’m a mum of two young men and someone who loves travelling, reading, and music — anything that adds creativity, perspective, and a deeper appreciation of being human to everyday life.
I find so much joy in my garden and in caring for the animals that make our home feel full. These parts of my life keep me steady, grounded, and connected — and they shape the way I show up in my work.
People often describe me as warm, grounded, and intuitive—a calm presence who listens beneath the surface and helps others remember their own strength and beauty.
When I’m Me…
A Final Note…
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You don’t need to be further along.
You don’t need to shrink yourself or ‘push through.’
Wherever you are in your journey — overwhelmed, hopeful, curious, exhausted — there is space for you here.
Whenever you’re ready, you can explore the next step.
You're in the right place.
