  Carmel Hughes

  Carmel Hughes, founder of Sage Wellbeing, is a breathwork and mindset facilitator, as well as a
  workplace wellness educator. With over 20 years of experience in learning disabilities and a deep
  passion for personal wellbeing, Carmel combines mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, positive
  psychology, and neuroscience to help individuals and organizations achieve optimal wellbeing.
  Her approach empowers people to understand their own mind, body, and nervous system, enabling
  them to regulate their breath and support their wellbeing, no matter their time or location. Carmel's
  focus is on providing practical, accessible techniques that fit into busy lives, offering both immersive
  workshops and everyday tools to integrate wellness practices, even on the busiest days.

  breath, individuals can shift their state at any moment – whether to relax, focus, improve athletic
  performance, or sleep better. Carmel also collaborates with VHI to deliver wellness talks and events,
  sharing her insights and empowering others to make sustainable, positive changes in their lives.

  Kate Martin

  Certified Sleep Practitioner & Baby Sleep Consultant
  As a Mum of two young children, I know how difficult it can be when your baby is experiencing sleep challenges. I have built my own personal approach through years of research, training and guidance to create the sleep plans and expertise I offer today.
  I am passionate about helping families achieve better sleep to enhance their everyday lives and I want to support you to achieve that too. I believe in consistency over perfection and that great sleep is possible for you, your baby and all of your family to enjoy.

  I offer a kind, caring and non-judgemental approach to guide you on your journey to better sleep – whether that is from the early newborn days or months later when you are ready to introduce a gentle sleep routine that works for you and your family.

  I would love to help you and your baby on your journey to better sleep.
