Sarah is British and has lived and worked in London, Fiji, New Zealand and Qatar, as well as travelling extensively around the world. She is a mother to six children aged 13-22 and is instinctively nurturing, pragmatic, patient, supportive, empathetic and deeply passionate about helping others to overcome their obstacles to well-being, celebrate their strengths, develop healthy, positive mindsets and thrive!
