Kathy is a trained Postpartum Doula, mother of one, spent over 20 years in corporate business and has lived in the UK, Thailand and Singapore. As a Postpartum Doula, I bring physical and emotional support to a new mother, and the rest of the family. I combine nurturing, newborn care and "mothering the mother" with plans for optimal sleep, feeding, breastfeeding support (if required) and scheduling and some light household maintenance (including laundry, cooking and shopping if required). My role is to make the transition to parenthood easier for new parents, to help mum during her recovery period, and to ascertain what the family needs help with and provide the instruction. The name Empowa is a portmanteau of the words Empowerment and Doula - and that is what I bring to the traditional role of a doula - confidence and empowerment in the new person you have become through a combination of hands on support, nurturing, open listening and coaching. Kathy uses all of her training, life experience and passion for coaching people to support new mums, and families, through the new challenges they will face. Empowa is all about empowering new mums, and families, to be the very best version of themselves. When a woman gives birth she gives birth to a baby, and a mother. That change in momentum can feel monumental and women are often left feeling like less of the person they used to be, and not knowing the person they have become. Empowa finds your strengths, from past and present, identifies and empowers you to be the most amazing new version of yourself, be that a SAHM or a driven working parent.
