About Mama Flow Oxford

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!

This place is magical; Sara has an incredible space that brings a profound sense of peace the moment you arrive. Her presence is calming, and you can sense the deep empathy and kindness in her soul. It was definitely one of the best experiences I’ve ever had, especially after two traumatic births.

I cannot recommend Sara enough! I saw her twice during my pregnancy for massages and felt immediate relief from PGP and general strain of a late pregnancy bump. The sessions were a highlight of my pregnancy and I felt more relaxed than I had done for a long time, I wish I had seen her sooner! I am now continuing sessions post partum - they are a treat but also becoming part of my self care. Sara's experience, insight and intuition are a rare and wonderful combination.

I had a brilliant massage from Sara. She took time to understand what I wanted from the appointment, and how to adapt it to me. Everything felt very tailored. The appointment was so relaxing and really helped with aches and pains. I've also hugely benefitted from Sara's weekly yoga sessions at Everybody Studio. They've been so inclusive and supportive, creating a lovely community space that I've loved being part of.

Such a welcoming and calming environment, and so much time and care was taken to make sure I was comfortable and that my major issues were identified. I felt SO much better after my session and will absolutely be returning. That was the most comfortable I've felt in my entire pregnancy.

Sara is an absolute gem. She is an expert on the female body and tailors her classes to each individual body. She is an evidence-based practitioner and an intuitive healer all in one.

I have been getting back treatments from Sarah over a decade now, I cannot recommend her enough - back, shoulder, sciatica pains, she know how to listen to each individual body and person and adapt to them. Hugely life-improving for me personally.

Another wonderful personalised massage, Sara is brilliant at finding all the imbalances and focusing her treatment where it’s needed most!

Sara is fantastic. She really understands everything you could need in pregnancy and beyond. I’ve had treatments in other places before, but nothing beats Sara and her wealth of knowledge and kindness.

Amazing! Booked in with some SIJ pain/hip discomfort, and general muscular tension at 38 weeks pregnant. Sara was wonderful! Friendly, attentive and thorough with her treatment and skillset. I left feeling soo good; didn’t want the session to end! Such a lovely treatment space too. Would absolutely recommend, I will definitely be back for postpartum treatment!!

A truly wonderful experience. I felt the stress and tension in my body draining away and felt refreshed and revived afterwards.
