Grandmother in your pocket

"I didn't invent BaBeeYaga.
I lived it — and then I offered it to you."

BaBeeYaga

Dear family,

I am Dr. Kathya Kaye — psychotherapist, Waldorf Master Teacher, and mother of four neurodivergent children.

For decades I watched myself — and the families I worked with as a psychotherapist — struggle not because we lacked love or effort, but because we lacked rhythm. The invisible architecture that holds a family together. The quiet structure that tells a child: you are safe, this day makes sense, we belong to something.

I spent 35 years working with families, children and communities across Ireland, Portugal, South Africa and the United States — and years in my kitchen, in the early mornings, weaving together what I knew from Waldorf education, from ancestral wisdom, from neuroscience, from the seasons, from the old stories my own grandmother told me.

BaBeeYaga is that weaving.

It is not a product. It is a way of living — made simple enough for a tired parent on a Tuesday morning. Made beautiful enough that children want to participate. Made deep enough that it actually works.

The Babee — those seven soft, fluffy creatures, one for each day — are not decoration. They are emotional translators. They give the rhythm of the week a face, a colour, a feeling. A child doesn't understand "Tuesday". But they understand Firo. And Firo helps them run, build, be brave.

I built this for my children. And then I realised it belonged to yours too.

With warmth,

— Dr. Kathya Kaye 🐝
