Our Founder

Hi! I’m Kate Walker (she/they)

I founded Affirm and Thrive in 2023 to provide a space for LGBTQ+ folk to thrive in body, mind and spirit.

I believe that true health is a reflection of the dynamic interchange between the physical, mental, social and environmental landscape of the individual. For a person to thrive they need a healthy community to live in and I see my role as both tending to both the individual and the collective.

I draw on my skills as a Speech Pathologist, Naturopath and Sound Therapist to bring unique offerings to the LGBTQ+ community.
