A word with Kate

“There’s so much conflicting information out there about what we should be feeding our kids now for long-term health, but good nutrition is really very simple. The hard part is deciding to educate yourself.

I always say to my clients: ‘Your kids’ health starts with you.’ You have to look after yourself first and foremost because your wellbeing and state of mind has a direct impact on the health of your kids.

The Our Healthy Children program is designed to help you and your family thrive with practical advice, 40+ nutrient-dense recipes, weekly meal plans and simple health tweaks gathered from my 13+ years working in the field.

It’s perfect for anyone seeking natural solutions to address issues to do with weight (yours or your kids’), allergies, fussy eating, behavioural concerns, auto-immunity or anxiety.”

–Kate Barnes.

“This is an incredible gift for any mum. Kate’s teachings have empowered me on how to feed my family and approach nutrition in a holistic way. I adore Kate and she has become the first point of contact for anything health-related in our family.”

Cristina Londono, Creative Director, Wallnut Studio, Mother.

This is what people are saying.

“Our daughter had a problem with reflux that lingered for 3 months with no sign of clearing up. After several visits to our GP and specialists gave no comfort, I approached Kate who suggested that the issue could be associated with digestion and diet. Kate’s initial casual chat seemed to make sense, which prompted me to seek further advice from her in an effort to get our daughter back to normal. We made some significant changes to our diet initially, particularly with breakfast and lunch.

In less than 2 months, our daughter no longer complains of the previous painful symptoms. She also looks remarkably healthier, has regained her previous high energy levels with much less lethargy and her mood is back to being positive and happy. I also feel considerably more energised and healthy! I found Kate’s wealth of knowledge incredible and an education in itself. I feel completely invigorated with cooking for our family and have loved seeing our children (and my husband) enjoy our new healthy diet.”

A word from Kate:

“Join me for this transformational program that’s all about raising a happy, healthy family through simple, wholesome nutrition. Being healthy isn’t complicated, but it is a lifestyle where you learn the ropes that intuitively make sense and start making new choices that become a way of life. These choices are then naturally handed down from one generation to the next as they were in years gone by. It all begins in our hearts and our homes.”

My Story

“I’m a farm girl at heart who believes in keeping things simple and natural. These days I’m also a busy, caring mother doing the best I can with the knowledge I have and the resources available to me. Probably a lot like you!

When my two children were younger, we went through a tough time with health issues. They weren’t chronically unwell, but they weren’t thriving. I instinctively knew that my beautiful kids weren’t as healthy or as happy as they could be, and I wanted answers.

There were several signs that I now know suggested digestive dysfunction and malabsorption. Things like a little ‘pot belly’, cramps, eczema, anxiety and low immunity. Initially my husband and I dismissed these warning bells, thinking this was a normal part of childhood. ‘That’s just them,’ we would tell ourselves. Yet these were actually clear indicators of imbalance.

Then one of my children started experiencing developmental issues. We were dealing with a foot that mysteriously stopped growing! This was the catalyst for the biggest health quest of my life. We saw every “expert” imaginable: podiatrists, physiotherapists, specialist paediatricians, orthopaedic surgeons, chiropractors and neurologists.

They meant well, but the best prognosis they could offer was: ‘It may get worse, but it won’t get better’. I refused to accept that answer and in the process I took full responsibility for my health and the health of my family. I don’t believe we were “lucky” to have finally found support. I believe we simply didn’t give up.

On this journey, I encountered some disturbing realities about health today (like the profit-driven motives behind what we’re told to feed our children), as well as positive findings (such as the intimate link between the gut and the brain and vice versa) that are changing the way we think about nutrition.

For instance, have you heard of the microbiome? It will change your life. We talk a lot about this in Our Happy Children. What I know is that a mother’s gut is never wrong. At the time, my only support was my instinct and trust in the body’s innate ability to heal, a fellow health coach and my incredibly supportive husband. They were my guides.

It wasn’t until I took my family’s wellness into my own hands that I got the answers I knew were there. As for our children, I am relieved to report that they are now happy and thriving! Their immunity is now strong and they are blossoming in their growth and development.  

Armed with a Bachelor of Science, my health coaching certification and a deep respect for the intelligence of the human body, I founded Kate Barnes Health Coaching. I now have over 13 years’ experience as a coach, family wellness mentor and practitioner.

Our Happy Children distils the most important things I have learned along the way into one life-changing nutrition program. I cannot wait to share this profound information with you. It has seriously changed everything for my family and my clients’ families. I know it will do the same for you.” 

“I am reluctant to say it out loud, but my sugar cravings have vanished – gone!  I cannot believe how fabulously energetic I am feeling at 4pm in the afternoon. I feel really clear, not fatigued at all. I am also much less bloated and feel good all over! And I am feeling quite ‘even’ mood wise – nothing has bothered me this week and there’s a lot going on! …  OHC is extremely valuable!  You can’t put a price on the health of your family’… It is a brilliant program”

Glowing praise from Kate's clients

Thanks to my consults with Kate, our family is on a new path to good health and nutrition. This was especially beneficial for my young daughter who suffered from reoccurring chest infections and illness due to a diagnosed low immune system... . The improvement was almost immediate, and over the winter the improvement was drastic for the whole family.  My daughter is no longer a ‘picky’ eater, her immune system is so much stronger as is my 2 year old sons. At the same time my stress and anxiety levels as a concerned mother have greatly reduced!   Thank you Kate for your help, motivation & being an ongoing support to us too!  Kathryn, IT Professional.

“As a new mother of a three month old baby, I engaged your health coaching services for two specific purposes: to lose some excess ‘baby’ weight and more importantly to kick-start the best possible dietary pathway for my child. Now, at 11 months of age, the proof is in the pudding, or in the baby, as the case may be. Both myself and my baby, have enjoyed no less than ZERO colds, coughs or gastrointestinal upsets since working with you. How can I put a value on that?!” ~ Kelly

Kate's warmth, expertise, support, generosity and commitment to me and my family has been an irreplaceable resource and a truly humbling experience. Kate's homegrown and authentic approach to family health support is unique and priceless. To have someone to reach out to in the moments of deep confusion, overwhelm and uncertainty has been paramount to me being able to remain centered and present for my family, as we tackle our health and wellness concerns. Kate's approach is practical, resourceful, organic, generous and skilled. When you work with Kate you have someone fully backing your choices and absolutely willing to find a solution that works for best health outcome. Kate has a wealth of knowledge and a willingness to get int the trenches of the overwhelming amount of information and direction available to a new parent when it comes to their children's particular health concerns. If you are a new parent struggling to fumble through the oceans of information on very limited time, but want to make educated choices on how you take care of your babies health or you are an existing parent who has come up against some health challenges with your young ones that feel out of your depth and very confusing THEN look no further for the powerhouse of support - Kate Barnes. Truly, I feel so blessed to have Kate in my corner. I am still navigating the world of gut health for my 2 and a half year old and Kate is with us every step of the way. The brilliant online world has meant we have never met face to face, but I feel Kate is part of my family and plays an essential role in creating the Village it takes to consciously and healthily raise my family!   So much gratitude extended to you and the integral work you are doing in the world Kate - thank you!

“I only recently found Kate and wish I was introduced years ago. My son has had long-term digestive issues and we have been on a long journey of recovery. Kate has offered her wisdom, enthusiasm and support in a very generous and kind way. It’s been great to have someone with her skills to back me up (as an exhausted, unqualified but dedicated mother) and remind me that it does all make sense. Many little things do make a difference.”

“Participating in the Our Happy Children course gave me the information and tools I needed to make small but meaningful changes over 6 weeks that impacted on my family’s way of life. It highlighted the importance of balance between work, rest and play and that’s its ok to stop and enjoy the sunshine. Happy kids gave me the understanding of what nourishing foods really are and recipes to put it into action. Months after finishing the course we are still making small changes and feeling healthier and happier for it!”

Frequently Asked Questions

I’d love to do the course, but I’m too busy.

As a busy mum myself, I know how hard it is to find time to take on extra commitments. This course is designed for busy, time-poor parents – even those of us working full time. All the information we discuss can be implemented at home immediately. You may need to buy a few new pantry items, but otherwise it’s business as usual. If anything, the information and strategies we discuss will give you back more time in your day.  

Can I join the course outside of Perth?

Of course – the course is online and can be completed in the comfort of your home from wherever you are in the world. There is an additional benefit for anyone who lives in Perth to come along to the weekly face-to-face sessions. 


How old do my children need to be?

The program is suited for children ranging from 0-12. Depending on your level of existing knowledge, the program is particularly useful for parents with children aged 0–5 (when it’s easier to influence their choices!). In saying that, you will learn ideas that will get your children enjoying food at any age or stage.

My child is a fussy eater. How can the course help?

If your child is a fussy eater, this course is even more important for you to do. Fussy eating is covered in the program, including ideas that will get children eating better + WHY they may have a ‘narrow’ or sweet palate in the first place. Your children will be eating a much more diverse range of foods by the end of this course.

How much time to I need to commit to it?

The course requires a time commitment of two hours a week to attend the workshop session. In addition to this, perhaps another hour or two to connect with your Facebook community and go through the resources provided. It’s up to you and what you have time for. Once you sign up the workshop, the information is available to you forever – you can refer to it at any time.

Do I need to be a good cook?  

No. I’m not a good cook. My recipes are recipes that I like to cook and my family enjoys. They are very simple to make, rarely taking longer than 15 minutes. They use just a few ingredients that are loaded with delicious nutrients. You really just need a kitchen (and motivation, which I’ll be giving you plenty of)! The recipes are delicious. They all use whole foods full of healing nutrients and avoid gluten and packaged foods. They are a guide for you to use only. Visit the recipes page on my website to get a good idea of the types of snacks and meals we’ll be enjoying.

What if I don’t have the ingredients?

No worries. In our first class, I provide a comprehensive shopping list along with loads of different suppliers you can contact for deliveries if need be.

My kids are already healthy. Should I do it anyway?

Absolutely. If you have any interest in providing your kids and family with the healthiest and happiest future, this is for you. OHC is a holistic program, drawing on the latest research for parenting, nutrition, lifestyle and modern day problems. Our kids are in a health crisis! The foundations of health that I share will help set you and your family up for LIFE – you will GAIN a deep knowledge of the choices you need to make and will be making them without even thinking twice.

Still have questions? Drop me an email at kate@katebarnes.com.au or give me a buzz on 0411 139 924.

I’d love to hear from you. Your children deserve this –and so do you!
