Hi, I’m Sarah 👋
I’m a registered Myotherapist & Health Coach — and the founder of Thrive Active.

With a background in injury rehab, postpartum recovery, and functional movement, I’m here to help you feel strong, pain-free, and confident in your body again. Whether it’s through hands-on treatment, tailored movement, or mindset coaching, I believe healing should be holistic & individual.

Outside the clinic, I’m a CrossFit ju**ie who actually enjoys burpees (don’t judge), a Pilates nerd, running enthusiast, and self-confessed course hoarder. I’m also a nature lover, animal cuddler, and coffee-fueled mum who genuinely believes coffee is a food group ☕️

Oh — and I love food. I’m all about making healthy eating realistic (and delicious), and helping you simplify fitness and nutrition so it fits into real life — not the other way around.

Thanks for being here — let’s help you move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free (with a few laughs along the way) 💛🌿

🌊 The Mind-Body Benefits of Vitamin Sea 🌞

Feeling off? It might be time for a dose of Vitamin Sea. 🐚💙 Science says the ocean isn’t just beautiful — it’s healing.

🧠 Mental clarity: Studies show that the sound of waves activates the parasympathetic nervous system — promoting deep relaxation, reducing cortisol, and calming the mind. Nature’s white noise therapy. 🌬️🌊

💙 Emotional balance: Simply being near the ocean (a.k.a. “blue space”) is linked to lower anxiety and depression levels. Saltwater and sea air may also boost serotonin — your natural mood stabiliser.

🧘🏽‍♀️ Physical healing: Seawater is rich in magnesium, which supports muscle recovery, sleep, and stress relief. Swimming in the ocean can also improve circulation, joint mobility, and immunity.

🌤️ Vitamin D boost: 10–20 minutes of sun exposure by the sea gives your body the D it craves — essential for bones, hormones, and immune health.

🌊 Reconnection: Time by the ocean reconnects you with nature’s rhythm — inviting presence, grounding, and perspective.

✨ Whether it’s a surf, a swim, or just salty toes in the sand — the ocean heals. So when in doubt, head to the sea. Your mind and body will thank you. 🌊🧘‍♂️🌺

Sciatica and piriformis syndrome are often confused because they both involve pain in the lower back, buttocks, and legs. However, they have different causes and treatments. Here's how they differ:

Sciatica
🔹 Cause: Compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, usually due to a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease in the lower spine.
🔹 Pain Location: Starts in the lower back and radiates down the buttock, thigh, and leg (usually on one side).
🔹 Symptoms: Sharp, burning, or shooting pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected leg.
🔹 Aggravated by: Sitting for long periods, bending, or lifting heavy objects.
🔹 Treatment: Physical therapy, stretching, anti-inflammatory medication, and in severe cases, surgery.

Piriformis Syndrome
🔹 Cause: The piriformis muscle (deep in the buttock) compresses the sciatic nerve, often due to muscle tightness, injury, or overuse.
🔹 Pain Location: Starts in the buttock and can radiate down the leg, but usually doesn't reach the foot.
🔹 Symptoms: Deep ache in the buttock, worsens with prolonged sitting, climbing stairs, or running.
🔹 Aggravated by: Sitting for too long, running, or excessive hip movement.
🔹 Treatment: Stretching, massage, foam rolling, heat therapy, and strengthening exercises.

Key Difference
✅ Sciatica is a nerve issue that originates from the spine.
✅ Piriformis Syndrome is a muscle issue that affects the sciatic nerve.
