Katie Parry

Welcome to my little corner of the internet! My background is shaped by a rich and varied career in healthcare. Before committing to my career in the NHS, I embraced adventure - travelling through Australia and working in ski resorts across France.
​
In 2007, I put down roots back in my hometown of Bournemouth, here on the beautiful South Coast of the UK, and began my NHS journey. I started in the ambulance service, moved into dentistry and the emergency department, and eventually pursued my lifelong ambition - midwifery training. I qualified in 2019, and becoming a midwife was everything I’d ever dreamed of.
​
In the summer of 2024, I experienced a breakdown due to burnout and PTSD, and I had to step away from working on the labour ward. It was a difficult pause, but it gave me the space to realise just how much I love supporting and empowering people. That’s when I decided to train as a menopause coach and mentor; providing support, knowledge, and empowerment through the transition of menopause. As of January 2025, I’m proud to say I’ve returned to the labour ward, and with the ongoing support of psychologists and a commitment to self-care, I’m back doing the work I love. My aim now is to continue supporting people both in birth and through the menopause transition.
​
I’m based in Bournemouth but work with clients across Dorset and the surrounding areas, and I also offer online sessions so I can support people anywhere in the UK and beyond. Whether in person or online, my goal is always the same - to provide a safe, understanding, and empowering space.
 
Outside of work, I’m a proud wife and mum of two. As a family, we thrive on adventure and fresh air - skiing in the Alps, cold water dips in the Bournemouth sea, and mountain biking. The beach is my sanctuary, and I love to walk outside each day and soak in the world around me.
These experiences have shaped my commitment to fostering growth, positivity, and resilience in every part of life.​​
