5 Day ' Awaken your Senses' Wellness Retreat in Valencia, Spain

MEET KATE GARDNER - Yoga Teacher, Menopause Specialist, Masseuse & Life Coach Kate Gardner is a yoga teacher, menopause specialist, and life coach dedicated to supporting women through life’s major transitions. Originally from London and now based in Valencia, Kate began her professional journey in advertising, where she worked for over a decade before following her true calling into holistic wellbeing. In 2010, she completed her first 200-hour yoga teacher training and began teaching yoga part-time. Following the loss of her sister to cancer in 2014, Kate made the courageous decision to leave corporate life behind and move to Ibiza, where she became a full-time yoga teacher. Driven by a deep desire to support women, Kate went on to complete a second 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2016, as well as certification as a birth doula. Her work increasingly focused on empowering women through key life transitions—motherhood, perimenopause, and beyond. At 42, Kate began experiencing anxiety, brain fog, and fatigue—symptoms she later recognised as signs of perimenopause. This personal experience inspired a journey of self-discovery and study around hormones, natural health, and menopause wellbeing. In 2021, she trained as a Hormone Yoga Teacher, a practice designed to support women during menopause. The following year, she qualified as a Menopause Wellbeing Practitioner, enabling her to guide and mentor women through all stages of menopause. ​Kate continued to deepen her expertise, becoming a Menopause Yoga Teacher and Certified Menopause Coach in 2023, and a Certified Life Coach in 2024. In 2023, Kate launched kategardnerlife.com, a holistic platform offering yoga, menopause coaching, and life coaching for women navigating midlife. Through her work, Kate combines compassion, knowledge, and personal experience to help women feel empowered, balanced, and inspired at every stage of life.
