Kates “WHY”
Landete Health started in 2012 when our first child was born so the business has always been closely aligned with our current stage of life, becoming parents, and has grown and adapted as our personal journey has. So it has always been heavily focused on our passion – promoting health and wellbeing for women and new parents during the perinatal period (from conception, pregnancy and birth through to the first year with baby) and beyond because let’s face it – the challenges of parenting never stop at any age do they. Through Landete Health we have supported hundreds of women and their families through exercise with personal training, our post natal program and mums and bubs exercise groups.
I have met some truly amazing and inspiring women through these programs and it was always a dream of mine to add counselling and coaching services for Mums to our business for a unique, holistic approach that emphasises the importance of physical, mental, emotional and social health to optimise wellbeing. I began my degree of counselling/coaching through the Australian College of Applied Psychology in 2015 so that I could develop the skills, knowledge, theory, practical experience and develop as deep an understanding as I possibly could of how I can best help and support mums and anyone else in need.
Because becoming a mother has been one of the most rewarding but at the same time challenging experiences of my life. You can be so full of love, excitement and joy one moment, but terrified, confused, overwhelmed and incredibly lonely the next. It is life changing, yet there seems to be this idea that Mums need to bounce back to their former lives and former selves and act like they have it all together. I often found myself thinking that wouldn’t it be beautiful if Mums felt like they could be raw, honest, open and vulnerable about their experience, ask questions, get ideas and find strength and support in other women by talking and sharing about what is happening for them in a safe, non judgemental, empowering space. It is my mission to create that space and you are all invited.
As well as individual counselling and coaching sessions, Kate offers a range of group programs designed to support, nourish and empower women and Mums.
“THRIVING IN MOTHERHOOD” – 6 week program combining exercise and an open forum coaching format to promote physical, emotional and mental wellbeing for Mums. Motherhood is a beautiful and rewarding stage of life that can also be overwhelming and confusing, so this program encourages women to not only get moving and exercise, but also to think about, talk about and explore all aspects of motherhood and their experiences within a safe, supportive, non judgemental space. This program creates a space for Mums to be open, honest, raw, and vulnerable. To ask questions, share ideas, find support in other Mums, realise their inner strengths and other resources and develop life long skills to help them THRIVE not just survive in Motherhood.
“ONLINE MOTHERS GROUP” – 6 week online support group for expecting and new mums to come together and connect with other Women in the same life stage and have a safe and supportive space to share, explore and process the experience of becoming a Mother. This group focuses on the health and wellbeing of the Mum who has also just been born and needs as much nourishment as her newborn.
