I discovered qigong 12 years ago on a series of silent meditation Buddhist-style retreat where I grew up in Wales. My plan had been to give my mind a break from the chaos of life and feelings of despair and overwhelm. When I tried qigong for the first time on day one of the first retreat, the feeling of relief was huge. I felt I could finally relax and slow down and the movements felt so freeing and calming. A couple of years later I embarked on a two year qigong teacher training programme with the Shiatsu College in London, and have been teaching ever since, with everyone from marginalised groups through to schools, businesses and the NHS. I also lived in a tea meditation house through lockdown, and now run mindful tea meditation sessions, where participants absorb themselves in this quiet and peaceful ritual to find space, calm and comfort.

Having discovered yoga over 25 years ago, Kate has been sharing this wisdom throughout her adult life, weaving together experience, intuition, and a deep understanding of the body. Her teaching style is beautifully unique — blending slow, nurturing practices with more dynamic movement, including her much-loved Yoga4Runners classes.

Alongside yoga, Kate’s personal growth journey has been shaped by NLP and hypnotherapeutic coaching, training to Master Practitioner level over 10 years ago. This work deeply informs how she supports others, especially those navigating recovery after health trauma. Having experienced this herself three years ago, Kate brings genuine empathy and insight into how PTSD can live in both body and mind.

With retreats on the horizon for 2026 — combining running, yoga, meditation, and meaningful connection of mind, body, and soul — this is definitely a space to watch.

If you’re hosting (or dreaming of hosting) a retreat, offsite, or wellbeing experience rooted in compassion, strength, and holistic healing… Kate brings wisdom, warmth, and lived understanding to the space.

I’ve been practicing yoga since 2002 and teaching for the past 8 years. My classes are rooted in mindful awareness - via a strong focus on breath, the senses of the body and a slow, graceful movement. My hope is that people find both a physical and mental ease from my classes, leaving the studio both calm and relaxed.

Sound and Song is led by Zoe Hatch, a warm, dynamic and engaging songstress and workshop facilitator. She believes passionately in the power of singing to transform us at every level of our inner and outer world; how we think, how we feel, how we act and how we relate to each other and ourselves. Zoe brings her deep experience of the power and potential of singing and her conviction that everyone is born with the ability to sing to her work with individuals and groups today.

Yoga literally changed my life when I started practicing at a local class in 2013. I had spent years juggling a stressful job and running a family. A friend recommended I try yoga and from my first lesson I was addicted! It soon became a necessity to bring balance to my beautiful, yet crazy world.

I feel incredibly blessed to be sharing my love of yoga with others and I learn every time I step on the mat. I am passionate about working with individuals, exploring what yoga can bring to ‘one’s entire well-being’.

To me yoga is not just about creating postures, it’s about learning and sharing together, finding equilibrium, peace & exploration of the inner self.

‘Thank you for teaching me the most’.

Constantly fascinated by mental and physical health and the connections between the two, I found Craniosacral Therapy in 2013 and have never looked back. As a Craniosacral Therapist and Bach Flower Remedy practitioner, I offer support to children and adults to help resolve health issues in a gentle way but also in a way which can empower anyone to find their own personal well-being solutions. Healing is a partnership and ultimately a commitment to yourself, which continues to evolve over time. I am particularly interested in trauma, childhood challenges and ancestral healing. Everything we are today has a history and understanding that within the body can bring peace and calm to the soul. I also work with horses, newborn babies and new mothers.

I am an experienced, registered, qualified Nutritional Therapist and run a private clinic specialising in digestive and gut health. I have seen over 400 clients, provided over 1200 hours of consultation time and help people find the root cause of their symptoms/health concerns. I sometimes may recommend functional testing to support our work together however, I always take a realistic, food-first policy and have excellent results with dietary modification as a first step. 

I provide one to one private consultations (available by telephone/Zoom), talks, workshops, and present a regular, 

popular series of fun, engaging online nutrition workshops on various health topics. 

Rachel began her liberating journey from fear to freedom in 2006.  

Investigating the root causes of her Panic attacks and anxiety, she found answers using EFT, Matrix Reimprinting, Meditation and Reiki, finding such a deep love for this work that she took a deep dive into studying these, and additionally a two year course with the Academy of Healing Arts, in order to extend a hand to others that are looking to find peace with their minds. Four years ago, Rachel stumbled across a breathwork modality called SOMA breath and experienced such remarkable emotional and physical health improvements that she embarked on the Master Training, now teaching classes locally and online every week. Rachel works both in group settings and 1:1 in which she alchemises these soul medicines, to deliver an optimising toolkit that empowers her clients to master their emotions and become their own guru.
