Natural support for pregnancy, birth, and your baby’s early months

 

Pregnancy and the early days with a newborn can bring a whole mix of emotions — excitement, joy, worry, questions you didn’t even know you’d have, and plenty of unasked-for advice along the way. It can feel overwhelming to know what to listen to and what to ignore.

This course is here to offer calm, trusted guidance and natural tools to help support your body throughout pregnancy, and to support your baby once they arrive — without pressure, fear, or information overload.

I’ve created this course by bringing together the knowledge I’ve gathered over many years: from graduating with my degree in Naturopathy, learning from experts around the world, and through my own experiences of pregnancy, birth, and the fourth trimester. Everything is designed to be practical, nurturing, and easy to use in real life.

Choose the support that fits your journey

If you’re in the early stages of pregnancy, there’s a First Trimester Course, offering gentle guidance during those first 12–13 weeks.
If you’re further along, there’s a Pregnancy Course to support you through the rest of your pregnancy.
And if your baby has arrived (or is nearly here), the Postnatal & Newborn Course focuses on supporting both you and your baby during those precious early months.

You can take each course on its own, or choose the Pregnancy + Postnatal bundle and save.

Each course includes a supportive mix of videos, PDFs, and audio content, so you can learn in the way that suits you — whether you’re resting, feeding, or grabbing a quiet moment.

Support with compassion at its heart

I also want to acknowledge those who may have experienced baby loss. For you, the first trimester can feel especially fragile — filled with hope, fear, and everything in between. Because baby loss is more common than many realise, and not talked about openly enough, the First Trimester Course is offered completely free, along with access to a supportive Facebook community, so no one has to navigate those early weeks alone.

Katie Ruane — Course Creator and Naturopath

Hello my name is Katie!

I’m a fully accredited Naturopath, a qualified postnatal doula, and breastfeeding supporter. In 2021, my own journey into pregnancy gave me first-hand experience of many of the symptoms, emotions, and worries I now support families through — including the unexpected surprise of conceiving naturally after preparing for IVF.

I’ve been there with the racing thoughts that pop into your head at 3am, the frantic Googling to check you’re not going mad or the only one feeling this way, and the long, agonising wait of the first trimester (honestly, the longest 13 weeks of my life) until that first scan brings some reassurance.

That personal experience, alongside my professional training, shapes everything I share in this course — practical, realistic support grounded in both knowledge and lived experience.

In my work with families, I use a holistic mix of hands-on therapies such as massage and reflexology, alongside nutrition, essential oils, and lifestyle guidance — all part of my naturopathic toolbox — to support you and your family gently, safely, and naturally.
