Meet Sarah – a health & wellbeing business coach – advertisement Feature

Health and wellness has always been in my veins plus with parents who ran their own business, I’ve been surrounded by my two passions since a little girl being interested in both health as well as business, I knew I always wanted to combine the two.

After studying Business Management and Marketing at university, and continuing my love for sports including playing at International level, I started my working career in marketing and brand strategy for some of the world’s largest healthcare brands across various therapeutic areas including pain management, nutrition & weight management, oral healthcare and allergy relief.

But I wanted life on my terms As an International athlete and being passionate about health and wellness, the corporate world of long hours and politics went against my desire to live a balanced life on my terms. As much as I loved my job, working all the hours and constant travel meant I was heading for burnout.

Something had to change With an international move to the other side of the world for work, and living in South-East Asia when I was on maternity leave with my first child, I decided that something needed to change. At 4am after another night feed for my baby, I made the decision to follow my passion into the holistic world.

I knew I needed to look after myself in order to look after my child in the ways that I wanted to. So for some headspace away from baby brain and to learn something I’d also been interested in and seen the benefits from during my sporting career, I re-trained as a holistic health & massage therapist.

From zero to fully booked In a matter of months, I went from having no clients to being fully booked. With my 15+ years of experience working in marketing, I knew what I had to do in order to attract the right clients and grow my business into a profitable and sustainable one.

The ripple effect Following the birth of my second child, I learnt a lot about having to juggle family life with business whilst still wanting the flexibility and income from my business. I was constantly asked how I managed to grow my business and other practitioners were asking for support to build a successful business on their terms.

My mission is to help people feel healthier and happier but I can’t do this alone – I realised that I could help so many more people by supporting other health & wellness practitioners to be successful and the ripple effect and impact to the world that I could create in doing this.

Being a serial entrepreneur, and now living back in the UK (in the same town in Hertfordshire that I grew up in!), I’m proud of having grown several businesses driven by passion and purpose. My focus now is on helping other entrepreneurs in the health & wellness space turn their hobby into a profitable business. Moving them from trading time for money and struggling to grow, I help them build the business foundations that will help create the success they desire, before they fall out of love with the business that was their true passion, but may now be their biggest headache.

As a hands on holistic health practitioner I have lived the challenges my clients are living, but my marketing qualifications and business acumen have seen me thrive. I now want this for others in an industry where too often I see businesses fall short of their potential, and I’m particularly passionate about supporting other women in business to create lifestyles that work for them.

I support practitioners on a one-to-one basis, through group programmes and also have a fabulous free facebook community
