Hi I’m Katie
Hi, I’m Katie – founder of Dorset Pregnancy Therapies.
I’m an experienced midwife with over 13 years of supporting women through pregnancy and birth. Over the years, I’ve seen just how important it is for women to feel truly supported – not just medically, but emotionally and physically too
During my pregnancy, I struggled with pelvic and hip pain, sciatica, and severe heartburn. When I decided to seek support, it was incredibly reassuring to find Katie at Dorset Pregnancy Therapies was an experienced midwife with over 13 years of supporting women through pregnancy and birth.
Katie immediately put me at ease with her knowledge, warmth, and professionalism. Not only did I receive treatment, but I also felt able to ask questions and gain advice from someone who was both highly knowledgeable and genuinely comforting.
I had never considered reflexology before, but I honestly cannot express how amazed I was by the results. After just two sessions, my pregnancy experience completely changed.
I will 100% be returning for further treatments and cannot recommend Dorset Pregnancy Therapies enough.

After having a caesarean section to deliver my first child, I was keen to go in to Labour naturally with my second baby. I had a successful sweep five days after my due date and it was then that I saw Katie for some reflexology and massage in an attempt to encourage spontaneous labour. She was knowledgeable, professional and put me at ease straight away. She took a full history from me before starting the reflexology and massage. It was extremely relaxing and I felt very comfortable throughout. The whole experience was relaxing and I am so glad that I had the appointment. I went into Labour 4 days later and whether this was due to the treatment I had or not, I would highly recommend Katie’s services.
Sophie
During my pregnancy, I struggled with severe pelvic girdle pain. Despite using pain relief and a support band, I found it difficult to manage day-to-day activities. I decided to seek treatment from Katie, and I’m so glad I did. After just one session, I noticed small improvements. By the second treatment, I was almost back to normal – no longer relying on the band or medication.
I was initially very anxious about the treatment itself, but Katie immediately put me at ease. Her space is calming and welcoming, and she has a wonderfully reassuring presence.
Later in my pregnancy, I developed significant oedema. Once again, Katie provided treatment that made a real difference. By the end of the session, the swelling in my legs had visibly reduced.
I would highly recommend Katie to anyone seeking pregnancy-related treatments. She is friendly,
knowledgeable, and — most importantly—she truly listens. Thank you, Katie, for making a very uncomfortable pregnancy so much more manageable.
Lucy
I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect as I hadn’t had this kind of treatment before. But Katie is very friendly and knowledgeable. Facilities are good and my sleep was improved following treatment.
Emily
I came to Katie for moxibustion after discovering our little man was in breech late on in pregnancy. Katie was amazingly informative, caring, and helpful throughout, and really made me and my partner feel at ease about what we were doing. She kept in contact, checking in on how we were getting on, and thankfully baby has now moved and is currently head down! Cannot recommend Katie enough!
Rachel
Highly Recommend Katie! 😀 I visited Katie at Dorset Pregnancy Therapies late in my pregnancy & I can’t recommend her enough!
I visited her for reflexology sessions, which hosted in her lovely garden room. They were incredibly relaxing. Katie is so friendly and knowledgeable, she walked me through every step and picked my oils.
I returned for a post term session to help kick-start things & I actually went into labour the very next day! (Which was very helpful!) If you need to prep for birth or just want to de-stress,
Katie is great! 👍
Becky
Katie is so knowledgeable, caring, and took the time to explain everything, making sure I felt comfortable throughout the session.
The treatment itself was gentle yet incredibly effective. I already feel a noticeable difference in my scar, with less tightness and improved appearance.
The care, professionalism, and attention to detail were exceptional, and I left feeling supported and relaxed. Katie has checked in regularly to see how I am and how I feel the recovery is going. I would highly recommend this therapy to anyone recovering from a C-section or looking to improve the appearance and feel of their scar.
