Hi, I'm Sarah
I'm your movement and mindfulness coach who can help uncover the real reason your body feels achy or your joints creak.
From my studio in Napier, New Zealand or online, I listen to your story, check how you are moving, help you understand your habits and how your body is designed to move.
Using a powerful combination of movement, mindfulness, play and the latest neuroscience, I work with you so you can feel fabulous, confident and pain-free. No matter what your situation, how many candles on your cake or if you've already tried everything else.
Through guided awareness (classes) or gentle touch (individual sessions), I provide a safe and comfortable space for you to discover easy, pain-free movement.
How I can help
"NOT YOGA" CLASSES
Also known as Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement®, classes are fun, mindful movement lessons held in person or online.
Each week you explore a different series of movements to improve your functional movement, flexibility, coordination and balance.
