A note from me …
With over 30 years of experience in bodywork and specialist training in Osteopathy (BSc Hons – first class), Acupuncture (CICM Lic Ac), Yoga (Birthlight), Pilates (APPI), and Cranial Therapy (Sutherland) I offer a safe, holistic approach tailored to each individual. I am fully insured and dedicated to supporting your wellbeing with care and expertise.
My journey into women’s health began with a lifelong passion for movement, mindfulness and healing. After exploring yoga and meditation in the 1980s and 90s, I trained in osteopathy, pilates, acupuncture, massage and holistic therapies, gradually building a practice focused on nurturing and restoring the body. Having experienced pregnancy and motherhood myself, I understand the unique physical and emotional changes women and birthing people face, and I bring this insight into every session.
I also run a weekly Pregnancy Yoga Circle at Everybody Studio in East Oxford, where expectant mothers and birthing people can connect, move safely and nurture both body and mind throughout pregnancy – and the occasional Baby Yoga pop up too!
EXCELLENT Based on 51 reviews Posted on Ruth Farnan26/06/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These classes are the best thing I’ve done during pregnancy and postnatal to support healthy and positive pregnancy, recovery and baby bonding. Sara creates the most welcoming and inclusive space and it has been so valuable in many ways; meeting other local expecting/new mamas, sharing experiences and tips, and of course the tailored yoga sessions which support all abilities, stages and any ailments or issues. My little one has a lot of fun too and we regularly use stretches, moves and songs we’ve learnt in the sessions. Honestly cannot recommend highly enoughPosted on laura oxby25/06/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Warm welcoming atmosphere for all abilities and experiences, would definitely recommend.Posted on Philippa Brodie24/06/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sara is highly recommendable. I absolutely loved going to her pregnancy yoga - it was safe and fun, and really helped make my second pregnancy feel special. When life is busy with a toddler, the pregnancy yoga slowed everything down and gave me some me (and baby) time and allowed me to really bond with baby. Equally, the baby yoga has given me some very special memories with both my babies, who both loved Sara’s fun, restorative and relaxing sessions. Lastly, I cannot recommend her massages enough either. They got me through some really tricky spots during and after labour. Thank you for being the best at everything you do, Sara!Posted on Jane McCallion23/06/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Yoga with Sara was a fantastic part of both my pregnancies and the first six months or so with my babies. She's very understanding and knows how to adapt exercises if needs be. This meant I wasn't at all left out when I had terrible PGP or when my youngest had hip dysplasia. Her birth preparation class also set me up well with strategies for a difficult birth with my first and introduced me to a couple my husband and I became friends with. I cannot recommend her services enough!Posted on Rosalind Hill19/06/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve attended pregnancy yoga and had a treatment with Sara and both were so amazing. Pregnancy yoga gave me a community on the run up to having my second child and gave me the perfect calm space away from the chaos of toddler life. The massage I had at 40 weeks was amazing- unlike so many other massages it felt like it made a real difference to how my joints and muscles were feeling as well as being so relaxing. Would recommend any mama flow session/treatment!Posted on Agnieszka Trzebiatowska17/06/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sarah's classes are amazing. In a friendly, intimate atmosphere, without pressure, after yoga with Sara I feel like after a massage every time. I recommend it with all my heart to every future mother.Posted on Robyn Harris13/06/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sara is great. I have been a client of hers for many years for pain management support. Sara listens, to you and to your body. Sara works with you to make treatments a positive, calm, welcoming and comfortable experience. I highly recommend Sara for therapeutic treatments and also have friends who have benefitted from her pregnancy and postnatal support too.Posted on Katherine Clarke13/06/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended the pregnancy yoga classes with Sara from 20-40 weeks of my pregnancy. The class is so relaxed and inclusive, I loved being in a room with lots of other pregnant women and sharing experiences. The yoga is great for mobility, mental health and birth preparation ( I went into labour the morning after my last class!)Posted on Eleanor Moodey12/06/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sara is amazing at helping you with all those pregnancy aches and pains, even the more serious ones. She's very experienced and knowledgable and so generous with her time and knowledge. I also recommend her birth preparation and yoga classes too :)Posted on Svea Cheeseman12/06/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Sara more highly! Pregnancy yoga, baby yoga, massage, birth preparation class, osteopathy and acupuncture! I have done it all and I love it all! We have had a traumatizing and dramatic birth with our first child and went to her for a private birth preparation class for the second. It made such a huge difference. We felt calm and well prepared and even my husband, who is an introvert and doesn’t like workshops, really enjoyed it. Her garden studio is so lovely and her group sessions informative and social!
