ABOUT
Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach (FMCHC), Certified Holistic Health Coach & Mentor, Cancer Coach & Mentor, Full Member of UKIHCA
WHO AM I?
I’m a passionate advocate for the power that lies within an Integrative Approach to Health, Lifestyle Medicine, Root Cause Medicine, Functional Medicine, Complementary Medicine, Mind-Body Medicine - all based on a holistic approach to health & wellbeing.
This passion was revitalised in me following its profoundly positive impact on my own health and life after a breast cancer diagnosis in 2018 (where I was told there was nothing I could do to support myself), as well as subsequent colorectal surgery that created an issue I was told could not be healed without complex surgeries. It healed without these!
I am also walking this curious path, which can feel like a different world and way of being, and finding my way to profound wellbeing following a lifetime of chronic health issues, stress, multiple surgeries, breast cancer followed swiftly by peri-menopause, menopause and the challenges and pressures of midlife.
Leaving a 25 year international corporate career late in 2019 I now aspire to help as many of you as possible change the way you feel about yourself, your health & your life.
“Sara is an intuitive, compassionate and deeply insightful coach & mentor. Having walked the holistic health journey herself following a breast cancer diagnosis she is in a very strong position to guide, support and inspire others going through any health and life challenges. She has studied the holistic model deeply, from both the academic and intuitive perspectives and she leads by example, applying all aspects of energising proactive self-help to her own life.
Sara uses her knowledge, warmth & sensitivity (as well as a little humour) to guide and support anyone wishing to make significant positive health changes in their life. She is strongly motivated to help others and her determination, resilience and compassion make her a first-class choice for an empowering health coaching experience.”
Dr Rosy Daniel
Integrative Medicine Consultant, Founder & Director of Health Creation
I continue to work on my health & wellbeing every day, deepening my own awareness and curiosity as to what makes us well, and make decisions today that will create a better tomorrow and I want to help you do the same.
I will not accept poor health (body or mind) as 'normal' and neither should you!
EXPERIENCE
I trained with Dr. Rosy Daniel (Health Creation & previous Medical Director of Bristol Cancer Help Centre, now Penny Brohn) in the Diploma of Health Creation Mentorship (including Principles & Evidence for Health & Wellbeing) and with the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA) in the only IFM accredited, gold-standard coaching course as a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach (FMCHC).
Both courses are accredited by the UKIHCA of which I’m a Full Member.
I combine coaching with mentoring to support you with the powerful implementation of your own inner wisdom, empowering you with knowledge, resources and accountability to take action towards your health goals.
My work streams are all beautifully aligned to support your ‘w’holistic’ transformation, whatever you are dealing with, and to connect back to your ‘self’.
I work with my clients directly and through the following channels:
GP referrals
BiOrigin - a Women’s Integrative Health Clinic - within a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) of Integrative GPs and Nutritional Therapists
The Cancer Coach - an educational programme in holistic health and coaching support for anyone navigating cancer or looking to prevent it - for businesses and individuals
Health Creation (Dr. Rosy Daniel’s programmes) - dedicated to making health and not illness the norm and shifting the focus in society from passive health care to proactive health creation.
I support the amazing Yes To Life Charity, the UK’s Integrative Cancer Care Charity, as a voluntary Wigwam Cancer Support Group Facilitator and as the Wigwam Cancer Support Group Co-Ordinator.
Having previously worked in the corporate sector in International Market Research for over 25 years (working with global leading brands), I also sift through the overwhelming amount of information and scientific research, sometimes conflicting, to provide you with quality, science- and evidence-based guidance.
