MINDFULNESS & SELF-COMPASSION WORKSHOPS
In these relaxing and informal workshops, Kate will introduce you to the foundational principles of mindfulness and self-compassion. She’ll share simple, practical ways these approaches can help you create a sense of inner calm, reduce self-criticism and develop a more grounded, supportive relationship with yourself. You’ll learn how to bring these tools into everyday life so they feel natural, accessible and sustainable.
You will explore:
simple mindfulness techniques to create inner calm throughout your day
how to use mindfulness to shift unhelpful thinking patterns
letting go of perfectionism and releasing self-judgement
cultivating compassion and genuine self-compassion as a daily practice
Who are these workshops for?
This workshop is perfect for women who want to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and quiet the noise of an overactive mind. It is particularly supportive for introverted women, overthinkers, and those who often put others first.
We welcome women of all ages, especially those seeking a calmer pace and a chance to pause. Many participants identify as introverted, which naturally creates a warm, gentle, and supportive atmosphere.
No previous experience with mindfulness is needed, just an openness to explore and be gently guided.
Many women tell us they don’t usually join group programs because these can feel intense. If you’re looking for something softer, more spacious, and nurturing, this workshop will feel like a good fit.

What people say
‘I wanted to thank you for the mindfulness workshop. It was a wonderful time. I feel that you really introduced me to the world of meditation in a way that took any mystery away and before I even started, I felt confident that it was something I could do. All I really wanted was the time to stop and learn a new skill that could allow me to ‘stop’ in my own home. Now, I am realising more how important it is to live in the moment with mindfulness. You have a beautiful, calm style, Kate. You are real and show vulnerability, which in turn creates an intimate environment. I really feel that you are right in the centre of what you were created to do; how fabulous is that? Thanks so much, Kate.’ Shelley
‘Before the workshop, my only experience with meditation had been some online guided meditations and I definitely didn’t feel confident in the way I was approaching it. Kate reassures you that letting go of this judgement is a key first step, and she created a positive and inclusive space which helped to demystify meditation.’ Hannah
