Meet Sarah

I’m Sarah, a Master’s-qualified osteopath with over 10 years’ clinical experience, caring for adults and children aged 5+. I have a particular interest in pregnancy and postpartum care.

Whether pain is interrupting your sleep, making work uncomfortable or stopping you doing something you enjoy, I’ll take time to understand what’s happening and discuss suitable next steps.

Why I became an osteopath

I’ve always been interested in health, wellbeing and how the body works, but I wanted a career where I could look at the bigger picture rather than simply focus on one area of the body.

That’s what drew me to osteopathy. I love the whole-body approach — understanding how different parts of the body can influence each other and working with people to help them move and feel better.

Why pregnancy & postpartum became a speciality

My interest in pregnancy and postpartum care grew after having my own children. Experiencing first-hand how much pregnancy, birth and caring for a baby can change your body gave me a real understanding of how physically demanding this stage of life can be.

I saw how common it was for women to simply put up with aches and pains during pregnancy or after birth, often while juggling work, broken sleep and caring for their families. I wanted to be able to offer women knowledgeable, supportive care throughout this stage of life.

How I approach treatment

We’ll start by talking about your symptoms, your health and what you’re finding difficult. I’ll assess your movement, explain what I find and discuss your options with you.

Treatment may include hands-on techniques for muscles and joints, alongside exercises and practical advice. Your comfort and preferences guide the approach, and I’ll explain any techniques before we begin.

If another type of assessment or care would be more appropriate, we’ll discuss that too.

Outside the clinic

When I'm not at the clinic, I'm usually busy being Mum to my two children.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, getting to the beach, finding a good coffee and keeping active. Strength training is a big part of my own routine, and I believe looking after your body is important at every stage of life.

I don't expect my patients to have perfect routines or to always put themselves first — especially when you're a parent.

I simply believe that you deserve to look after yourself too.

A clinic where you can feel comfortable

I want my clinic to feel welcoming, relaxed and professional.

If you're pregnant, you don't need to wait until your pain is unbearable before asking for help.

And if you've recently had a baby, your baby is welcome to come to your appointment. We can work around feeds, cuddles and nappy changes.

There is no judgement, no expectation that you should have everything figured out and no need to apologise for bringing your baby along.

Just a calm, supportive space to focus on you for a little while.

Ready to feel more comfortable?

Whether you're pregnant, recently postpartum or simply dealing with an ache or pain that's getting in the way of life, I'd love to help.
