My name is Katy and I am the Founder of Mothers Matter.

I developed Mothers Matter having gone through my own heartbreak and overwhelming journey into motherhood – through loss, isolation and complete despair, then having to overcome the fear of becoming pregnant again after suffering so much loss. I didn’t want any mother to feel as alone as I was in those moments and endure so much pain alone. It was in the moment when I felt understood during my counselling degree I realised the importance of creating a safe space where mothers could be heard, valued, listened to and supported.

Mothers Matter was developed out of pure lived experience, heartbreak and a desire to bring change and end stigma. No mother should feel isolated in their darkest moment.

I am a compassionate, resilient, empathetic, and deeply committed person who wants to listen and understand others. Having gone through my own profound loss and heartbreak and then turning my life around by educating myself and being able to understand what I went through, I believe has enabled me to hold so much value and empathy for others.
