In this episode of Project Baby Podcast, we’re joined by educational psychologist Dr. Katie Barge, who shares her journey from assessing children for dyslexia to specialising in emotional wellbeing for mums and babies.

After the birth of her first child, Dr. Katie found herself drawn into what she describes as a “total nurture zone,” shifting her focus toward what truly matters—helping children and parents regulate their emotions and build strong mental health foundations from the very beginning.

Drawing from her own experience with perinatal mental health challenges during pregnancy, she speaks openly about the importance of supporting both mums and babies, highlighting how closely their emotional wellbeing is connected.

Dr. Katie also introduces her Nurture System, an approach designed to bring families back into balance through simple, nurturing practices. She explains how anxiety can be gently reduced by focusing on connection, regulation, and emotional support.

This episode offers a compassionate and insightful look at baby brain development, early attachment, and how nurturing relationships can shape lifelong mental health.
