Kate Valentine is a absolute powerhouse and hugely inspiring woman - a community leader, initiator and creative director, she founded Singing Mamas in 2010. Back then, Kate was a mother of young children and singing in a group was how she managed stress, and found connection and joy. When her family relocated to a new area she couldn’t find a choir where her children would be welcome, and like many mothers didn’t have the option of going without them. A friend persuaded her to start a singing group where mothers could bring their little ones and singing mamas was born.

The movement grew by word of mouth. Women heard about this group through friends and wanted to go to one near them. Kate began to train other women in how to step into leadership and build song-sharing communities that improved health and wellbeing. Over the last decade Kate has trained more than 100 other women to deliver the Singing Mamas approach.

Kate will bring an array of uplifting, healing and joyful songs to sing with Zu Choir for the 4 week block while I am away. I only wish I was here to sing with her and you all! It's going to be a really nourishing time :)
