Biography

Kate Valentine is founder and network director of Singing Mamas CIC

Kate is a registered nurse who has grown and developed the Singing Mamas movement for over a decade, reaching thousands of women. She is gifted in nurturing people, noticing the unique gifts in each woman, teasing them out, allowing people to feel their worth, find their voice and take their place as a leader.

Kates passion for singing and for songs continually deepens as the years roll on.. she feels that she is meerly scratching the surface of the treasures.. if the natural state of voices, songs and singing were woven into the fabric of our human experience.. we would recognise singing truly is for our survival.
