Meet Sarah

Coming from playing at an elite level of basketball, I thought it was my life's journey to help elite athletes recover from injury, like those who had helped me in my sporting career. Whilst I did (and still do) love working with athletes once I graduated and got into the treatment room I found what was most meaningful to me was connecting with and helping a vast array of people with their diverse needs.

I was (and still am) amazed at how much hands-on treatment could help my patients, but when my body wasn’t coping with the huge change in lifestyle and it felt like I was falling apart, I knew it was time to stop relying on my colleagues for treatment and start to take ownership of my own body.

My patients often comment on my passion and knowledge and I think this comes from my first hand experience with learning how to take care of my body through movement. I had to change my approach to exercise which had always been about pushing myself as hard as I could and start listening to what my body was asking for. 

I realized I put way too much emphasis on things that provided temporary relief and not enough time on the simple things that make a difference - rest, recovering and moving your body intentionally. Though I’ve always had an interest in rehabilitation and improving sport performance, this is where my interest in mobility and range of motion strength training began.

Now, 8 years into my osteopathic career, I think the combination of my personal experience with pain and my own health concerns as well as my desire to connect with and help others has created a well rounded osteopath. I know that keeping it simple is the best approach but I’m also not afraid to think outside of the box. I will draw on multiple facets of treatment to create a solution that makes sense for you and the life you are currently living. Nowadays I think it’s my life's journey to listen, educate and empower clients to feel their best.

I have a special interest in:

• Sporting injuries.

• Invisible illness including hypermobility 

• Neurodivergent clients

• Headaches 

• Jaw pain

Enjoys treating

• Those who have tried everything and haven’t yet found their solution.
