Hi, my name is Kate Hughes.
I am the founder of Kate Hughes Meditation.
I started this company because I am passionate about teaching others the skills that I have come to rely on to cope with everyday life. I do this by teaching mindfulness and meditation techniques that are accessible to all, regardless of personal background, experience, occupation or faith.
I have completed a 100 hour Transformational Meditation Teacher Training and 55 hour Breath Work Teacher Training both accredited by Yoga Alliance Professionals, and a 200 hour Mindfulness Teacher Training with Zenways.
“Kate came to our house for a private meditation session for three people today. We were all beginners and needed a little stress relief. I highly recommend taking the time to experience her sessions that can be tailored to your requirements if you are having a private session. Very relaxing experience with thoughts to take you forward into your day.”

thE BESPOKE RETREAT
This retreat will take place in Salcombe in a luxury home on the quay from 25th February to 1st March 2025. Sometimes two nights just isn't long enough to completely recharge, and you're just relaxing when it's time to go home! So I want to give you the opportunity to not only completely unwind, but to work with me on a bespoke wellbeing programme designed with your needs in mind. A small number of guests means we can design our time together to include everything that you need to nurture your own wellbeing.

“When I came out of the class I felt more relaxed than I have in years. Slept like a baby that night, which is unusual for me.”
kindfulness: a 5-week compassion course
During the five weeks we will be exploring self-compassion in a gentle and mindful way, and we will also be expanding our compassion towards others using different techniques and meditations. Self-compassion can be something that we all struggle with, often putting others needs before our own. The reality is that we cannot expand our kindness to others effectively if it doesn't include us. Join this small group to broaden your own experience of compassion.
