Meet Kate – Founder of The Coaching Retreat
I’m Kate, founder of The Coaching Retreat
My work is about creating spaces where women can slow down, reconnect, and come home to themselves. Over the last few years, my work has evolved in a way that feels deeply personal and deeply true. Today, I support women through retreats, sound healing, and 1:1 coaching, holding space for reflection, healing, and gentle but meaningful change. This is work shaped not just by training and qualifications, but by life itself.
I haven’t arrived here by accident. Like many of the women I work with, I know what it feels like to lose yourself, to feel overwhelmed by expectations, and to reach a point where something inside whispers, there must be another way. I’ve lived through experiences that cracked me open, challenged everything I thought I knew and forced me to rebuild from the inside out. Those experiences changed me. They also gave me a deep sense of gratitude for the path I’ve walked, because without it, I wouldn’t be doing this work today.
My approach is calm, human, and grounded. I don’t believe in fixing women or pushing them to become someone else. I believe in helping women remember who they already are, beneath the noise, the pressure, and the self-doubt. I believe in listening, in creating safety, and in allowing change to unfold in its own time.
Alongside my lived experience, I’m a qualified coach with professional training in coaching and personal development and I am trained in sound therapy, using sound as a powerful tool to support nervous system regulation, emotional release, and deep rest. Sound healing has become an integral part of my work, offering women a way to drop out of their heads and into their bodies, often accessing clarity and calm that words alone cannot reach.
Through women’s retreats, I create immersive experiences that allow space for reflection, connection, and renewal. Through sound healing, I support women in slowing their systems and reconnecting with themselves. Through 1:1 coaching, I walk alongside women at turning points in their lives, offering support, perspective, and belief when they need it most.
Everything I offer is shaped by one core intention, to help women feel more like themselves again. More grounded. More confident. More able to choose a life that feels meaningful and aligned.
I’m grateful for every part of my journey, the easy parts and the painful ones. They’ve taught me how to hold space with compassion, honesty, and care. And they’ve led me here, doing work that feels true to who I am and to the women I’m here to support.
My Approach
At The Coaching Retreat, we don’t just talk about healing, or growth; we live it. I believe that before we can truly show up for others, we must first return to ourselves. That’s why everything I do is grounded in balance, humanity, and clarity, whether it’s 1:1 coaching, retreats, or a sound bath under the stars.
This work is heart-led, but it’s also backed by real experience and expertise.

Leadership is not about being in charge. It’s about taking care of those in your charge."

Who I Work With
I work with women who are ready to explore who they are beyond the roles they’ve carried, women who feel a pull to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with themselves after change, challenge, or transition. Whether you’re finding your feet again, standing at a turning point, or quietly sensing that something needs to shift, this space is for you.
