About Sara

I wanted to be a kick-ass, trilingual businesswoman flying around Europe wearing nice suits. I was well on the way when, life intervened with a diagnosis of Chronic fatigue Syndrome/ ME.

I was 21 and house-bound. My doctor couldn’t help. My life was ruined.

I was desperate

I went from ambitious, independent and ready to take on the world... to house-bound, exhausted and feeling like the life I'd planned had disappeared.

My doctor couldn't give me the answers I was looking for.

So I started looking somewhere else.

And that changed everything.

My health became my education

It started with Reiki.

Something I was incredibly sceptical about.

Then came nutrition, herbal medicine, meditation, kinesiology, food intolerances and lifestyle changes.

I became fascinated by the connection between what we eat, how we live and how we feel.

Slowly, I started putting myself back together.

And somewhere along the way, I realised something.

I'd found what I was supposed to be doing.

So I became a naturopath

In 1999, the first naturopathic college in the UK opened practically on my doorstep.

I signed up. What I learnt changed my life.

And since qualifying, I've had the privilege of using that knowledge to help other people change theirs.

For more than 20 years, I've worked with people who want to understand their bodies, improve their health and feel well from the inside out.

What would you like me to do with this image of Sara — remove the background, change the pink background, extend the image, or something else?

My mission is simple

Since 2003, I've been helping people feel well from the inside out.

Not perfect, not restricted and not obsessed with every calorie that passes their lips.

Well.

More energy, more confidence, a better relationship with food and a better understanding of the body they're living in.

Because your body isn't something you need to spend your life fighting.

Let's learn how to work with it instead.
