Esther Arendt
(Midwife, Antenatal teacher and Hypnobirthing Teacher)
I trained as a midwife in Scotland between 2011 and 2014, and then
worked as a midwife in a hospital and midwife-led unit in England until 2016. Since late 2016 I returned to Luxembourg, where I come from, and I worked at CHL Maternity in the antenatal service and the perinatal center. I have an MSc in Reproductive and Sexual Health Research from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. I have also a HypnoBirthing teacher, and I offer this method of preparation for birth in groups or one-to-one.
Kate is a coach, childbirth and parenting educator and postnatal exercise teacher with a love of lifelong learning. Motivated by the belief that all parents want the best for their babies, and recognising that there is no one 'right' way to parent, Kate supports each mum and dad she works with to find their own authentic route to being a parent.
An experienced coach and trainer, Kate spent more than 15 enjoyable years working in corporate training and development before the exhilarating ups and downs of her own journey to parenthood inspired her to train with the UK's largest parenting charity, National Childbirth Trust. Kate spent 5 years supporting new parents and their babies in inner city London before moving with her family to enjoy the country side and multi-cultural community on offer here in Luxembourg.
