Katherine Woodbury (she/her)
Founder of Continuum Doulas | www.beyondbirthing.co.uk Katherine Woodbury is an award-winning Doula, NCT Antenatal Teacher, NCT Breastfeeding Counsellor, and Doula Mentor with over 15 years of hands-on experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal journey. As the founder and creator of the Continuum Doula Training, Katherine developed the unique six-antenatal, six-postnatal “Continuum Method” — a transformative model that bridges theory, embodiment, and real-world doula practice. Her work is deeply trauma-informed, attachment-aware, and inclusive, shaped by years of serving diverse families and mentoring new doulas across the UK. Katherine is known for her warmth, wit, and no-nonsense authenticity, as well as her ability to hold space for growth, reflection, and empowerment. She’s passionate about helping doulas build sustainable, heart-centred practices grounded in evidence, empathy, and community. When she’s not teaching, you’ll find her wild swimming, journaling, or surrounded by her two teenagers and four cats — all part of the continuum of connection she champions in every aspect of her work. |
