Kate Barrett

Originally from the small town of Pontypridd in South Wales, Kate moved away from home in 2021 to study at the University of Gloucestershire. Since then, she has lived in both Gloucester and Cheltenham. Known for being ambitious and highly motivated, Kate thrives in busy environments, which makes her role as a therapist such a great fit. She loves working with a variety of clients, helping with different challenges, and enjoys that no two days are ever the same.

​

Sport has always been a big part of Kate’s life, especially field hockey, which she has played for over 17 years. A passionate player and supporter, she has attended international matches at the Lee Valley Hockey Centre and plays regularly for her club on weekends. Coming from a family of hockey players, the sport has always been close to her heart. Alongside hockey, Kate has enjoyed a wide range of other activities, including swimming, triathlon, dance, lifeguarding, and trampolining, which gives her a deep understanding of the physical demands placed on the body.

​

Kate’s passion for sport led her to study Physical Education at school and sparked her interest in becoming a sports and massage therapist. She has experience working with athletes through her placement at Cheltenham Town Football Academy, where she loved supporting players in reaching their full potential. Clients often find Kate friendly, approachable, and easy to talk to. She enjoys building connections, hearing people’s stories, and working as part of a team to help others recover, perform, and feel their best.
