Kate took longer than she would have liked to find her passion for midwifery, first studying Psychology and Spanish for her undergraduate degree and giving birth to her eldest daughter (with midwives, of course) in the middle of it.  Her obsession with birth and babies followed this experience and she began working as a postpartum doula soon after.  When her daughter was 9 she returned to university to obtain her Bachelors in Midwifery and then worked in a busy hospital in Brighton, UK before emigrating to Texas.   

Coming from the UK, Kate grew up knowing that midwives are who care for you when you are having a baby.  So it came as quite a shock when moving to Texas 10 years ago and finding out some people had never even heard of a midwife! When she first arrived here she worked as a doula and experienced US hospital birth which made her understand the need for midwifery here even more and she rushed to obtain her Texas license. 

Her second daughter was born at home here in Houston in 2016 after which she had a few years as a stay at home Mom.  She has been back working as a midwife for the past few years and is now thrilled to be joining the team at Heart of Houston.

Kate is also on the board of a dog rescue, Straight Outta Texas, which focuses on getting dogs off the streets of Houston and adopted to NE states. She also enjoys traveling, knitting and tap dancing in her free (haha) time!
