FOUNDER OF LUNAMÈRE
mother of seven
gentle guide for other mothers
Motherhood asks so much of you - body, mind, and spirit.
It roots you in the earth and stretches out overhead.
Some days you bloom. Some days you just survive.
And through it all, you deserve support that nourishes you, and your child.
That’s what LunaMère offers…
gentle, grounded guidance from someone who’s walked the path ahead
Hi! I’m Cate. Mother of seven.
My family ranges from toddler to teen, so I’ve travelled the parenting landscape many times. I’ve lived the sleepless nights, the latch struggles, the spoon refusals, the emotional storms, the diagnoses we didn’t see coming.
I’ve also experienced wonder beyond anything we dream possible. The moments of deep connection. The laughter around a shared meal. The steady rhythms that help us all feel more like ourselves.
LunaMère was born from this lived experience - it’s my eighth child. This is real-world motherhood born from years of study, training and putting the work in. It’s where nurture meets nature; where instinct is trusted, and where nourishment is understood in the fullest sense.
Nourishment is more than food. It’s safety, rhythm, space.
It’s the tone of the room, the way we listen, the way we rest.
And it looks different for every child, every mother, every family..
What we do
I work with families navigating the messy, beautiful, high-stakes world of early parenting.
Every session starts with listening. No pressure. No one-size-fits-all plan.
Kind, clear guidance rooted in your reality.
No two families grow the same way but given the right conditions, all of us can thrive.
Breastfeeding or bottle-feeding challenges
Introducing solids in a way that feels calm and connected
Support with fussy eating or sensory sensitivities
Helping with sleep issues - children and adults
Creating emotional steadiness at home and heart
Reclaiming your own wellbeing in the swirl of motherhood
A GUIDE, NOT A GURU
My approach is holistic, grounded, and steeped in respect.
I draw from what I’ve lived and what I’ve learned.
Evidence-based training is folded into intuition, science into story, and deep respect for the natural unfolding of family life.
I’m not here to “fix” you or your child. I’m here to help you feel more resourced, more confident, more connected.
Let’s bring life back into a fully-nourished rhythm.
slowly, gently, together
