Our Founder

Hi! I’m Kate Walker (she/they)

I founded Affirm and Thrive in 2023 with a vision to create an LGBTQ+ well‑being hub that supports community in body, mind and spirit. We began by offering sound baths, social events and voice workshops to help people connect and thrive together. As the needs of our community evolved, so did our services. We now primarily focus on gender affirming voice and communication therapy in Adelaide (and online), responding to the growing need for accessible, affirming voice support for trans and gender diverse people. Our original vision remains at the heart of Affirm and Thrive, even as our offerings adapt to meet what our community needs most.
