About Me
My Philosophy
Mindful Mothering believes in the ability to empower ones-self through education and knowing the options that are available. I also believe through each birth we can change lives and our community! The bond shared between mom and baby is the greatest luxury, and it is my pleasure to support and nurture, this powerful relationship from the start!

your neeeds, your choices, your way
Mindful Mothering is a Childbirth Service founded by Katrina Ball. I am a wife, full-time professional and more importantly a mother to a wonderful little boy whom I love and adore. The birth of my son motivated me to serve and educate women going through this same, wonderful time in their lives. During the birth of my son and during the early months of his life, I had great support from family, but I would have gained so much more confidence and knowledge had I experienced the type of support I am now able to give others.
Since my son’s birth, it has become my desire to support and empower new and expectant parents through the planning and preparation stages of pregnancy and into the toddler years. Mindful Mothering was birthed and created to provide guidance, education and support to empower expectant mothers (parents) living and working in Bermuda. I am a Certified Baby Planner as well as a Certified Birth Doula and I am obtaining my certification as a postpartum doula, breastfeeding counselor, and diploma in childbirth education through Childbirth International. I am also becoming certified as a H.U.G. Educator to provide Help, Understanding and Guidance to families about their newborns. I am trained in First Aid and CPR through the Bermuda Red Cross. I believe new and expectant parents should be allowed to have their vision and dreams unfold in a way that is unique and specific to them and to enjoy their journey into parenthood.
