Through root cause, whole body work and nervous system support, I help them feel calm, clear and back in control. These days I describe myself as a Wellness Coach as I offer a mixture of kinesiology, nutrition and emotional support delivering different treatments depending on what is required to help you feel better – but whatever you want to call it I will still be helping you in a variety of way

s. I am trained in kinesiology, nutrition, counselling as well as young people's mental health. I can help you with many aspects of your health from struggling with energy and sleep, to digestive issues and food intolerances, as well as mental health support for anxiety and depression. I am also delighted that share that I am available to run workshops within schools to help support physical and emotional wellbeing programmes. Please get in touch to have a chat and find out how I can help you understand what is going on in your body and your mind, and help you create some gentle steps to feeling well.

I cried at the gym this morning.

Not because it was hard, but because when my PT asked for a one minute plank, I felt so strong I asked to go longer. I held it for two minutes and somewhere in the middle of that I remembered who I used to be.

I wish I could go back to younger me and tell her everything would be okay, that we would recover and be living a life of strength, joy and happiness beyond our wildest dreams. But truthfully I’m not sure she would have believed it.

When you are stuck in a chronic illness that nobody understands and there is no mainstream medical answer for, you can get stuck in a very dark place. A hopeless place where you watch everyone else living a life full of colour and joy while yours becomes frozen in sepia.

During those dark days my only goal was to be able to stand and walk unaided.

To look at me now, asking my PT to push me further, playing netball competitively, having completed two sprint triathlons, you would never guess my background. But it’s always there. Always my reason why.

Because I don’t want you to reach rock bottom before you start listening to your body. You don’t even need to be feeling terrible. You just need to wonder, what if?

⭐️ What if I could have some extra energy?
What if I could manage a social life around work?
What if this back pain could go away?
What if my stomach could calm down?
What if I could feel proud of myself, deeply and truly, even on my hardest days?
What if I just reached out to see what was possible?

I’ve done it before. And if you’re ready, we can do it together. Pop me a message and let’s chat x

Sceptical about whether stress support will actually work for you?

Here are 3 steps that take about 90 seconds and actually work!
Name it, find it, reframe it. Swipe to see how.

And for anyone wondering what EFT/tapping is, it’s literally just a conversation with yourself to work through how you’re feeling, to release it and reframe. It honestly makes you feel so much better.

Did this help make “wellbeing stuff” more accessible for you? Let me know in the comments, I’d love to know ❤️



And for those of you for whom this is completely new, let me share an example.

Tap the side of your hand and try this:
“Even though I made a mistake in that email, I can remind myself that it’s just an email. One small piece of communication that yes, I meant to double check, but everybody makes errors, it’s a completely human thing to do. It doesn’t mean I’m rubbish at my job, it means I was busy today, probably a little stressed and hurried. I’m good at what I do. I know that because of what people say about me and the work I produce every day.”
Now let yourself feel it: the frustration, the embarrassment, the shame, whatever’s coming up. Own it, don’t shy away from it and then choose to let it go. Choose calm. Choose to take a deep breath and not let one moment define your whole day.

Hello, I’m back! Three weeks, no posts, no content and honestly, not even a single twinge of guilt about it. (Well, maybe a tiny one, I’m only human.)

I had every intention of scheduling content over Easter, I even packed the laptop and had big plans, but then 3 weeks of school holidays started, my in-laws had no signal whatsoever and by the time we moved to my brother’s for the weekend I was so completely switched off that my brain just quietly refused to go back into work mode. So I let it.

What I hadn’t fully clocked until that moment of enforced stillness was how much I’d genuinely given to the build up to my launch event - not just the talk itself but the promotion, the content creation, the follow-ups, the proposals, all of it. It took glorious, willing, purposeful energy and it deserved a recovery that actually matched it.

Do I wish I was a machine who’d come back with everything drafted and scheduled and perfectly lined up? Yes, the driven part of me absolutely does, it always will, and I think that’s okay to admit. But I’m also a mum to a three and five year old, one of whom has additional needs that take real capacity. This is the current season I am in and it deserves to be honoured, not overridden.

Because this is exactly where chronic stress quietly takes hold, not in the big final push moments but in the decision to just keep going after the push phase ends, to treat the sprint like it’s the standard pace, to skip the recovery because there’s always something next on the list. Your body is keeping score even when your to-do list isn’t.

The proposals will get finished, two of them are for working mums who were also switching off for Easter so that’s very much fine, the content is back, and I’ve returned with a nervous system that actually had a proper rest. That’s not poor marketing. That’s the essence of what I do (even if yes I did with my marketing was a bit better!) but I will always be honest about what I’m going through and listen to what my body is trying to tell me.

Sound familiar? Tell me below, and if you needed to hear this today, share it with someone who needs permission to stop too.

Sometimes you can be doing all the “right” things and still not feel right.

Dawn was eating well, practising yoga and trying to stay positive; but she still felt stressed, bloated and exhausted.

Instead of adding more rules or supplements, we stepped back and looked at the whole picture: her gut, nervous system, lifestyle and stress levels.

When the body is supported in the right way, things begin to shift. Sleep improves, energy steadies and everything starts to feel easier.

That exhaustion isn’t a character flaw, it’s information.

Because it’s all connected, and when we get to the root cause, everything starts to make sense.

This is exactly what we do in my 1:1s. Did you know I have three ways to work with me? Root, Core and Elevate; two hours, six sessions or three months.

If you feel like you’re doing everything right but still struggling, it might be time to look at the bigger picture.

On BBC Radio Jersey this morning with , in typical me style I spontaneously promised I’d share a pick and mix approach to reducing our stress levels, so here it is!

Over Easter, whether you’re parenting with loud children (just me??) or holding the fort at work while everyone else is off, there’s a stress busting egg here for you. Pick one or two, depends how many you think your basket can hold 😉

Because the most radical thing you can do this Easter is decide that you matter too: not after everyone else and not when things calm down, but right now. And watch out for the golden egg because that’s a proper stop sign: Pause, Breathe and Reset.

SAVE THIS or SHARE with someone who needs it and come and tell me in the comments which ones you actually tried.

It’s all connected 🥰

This morning I got to do something really exciting, to sit down with the team at BBC Radio Jersey and just talk honestly about stress, burnout, and why so many of us are running on empty without even realising it.

We talked about the signs your body sends you long before you hit a wall. The ones we explain away, normalise or just power through. Sound familiar?

If you missed it, it’s available on BBC Sounds so go have a listen when you get 5 (ok 15!) minutes to yourself. Which, by the way, is exactly the kind of thing we talked about.

I was invited on to share my personal story too, the years I spent bedbound, using a wheelchair to recover, and how complementary therapies quite literally gave me my life back, however (rookie error on my part), I didn’t quite land the lead-in so didn’t share this whoops! 🤦‍♀️

But I will share that story properly here for those of you who want to know why I do what I do and what I really mean when I say I understand. Because I really, truly do 🥰

And because it’s Stress Awareness Month (and because I promised Alison I would!) I’m going to create a post you can save with proper, practical micro moments to pause and reconnect with yourself. This will be easter holidays focussed both for those who are working and for anyone navigating the school holidays.

Your body is always communicating. Sometimes it just needs someone to help you join the dots.

It’s all connected. 🌿

Our bodies are often very good at warning us when something isn’t right. But in busy lives, it’s easy to keep pushing through. Stress, overwhelm, burnout, whatever you call it, it’s just become non-stop, hasn’t it.

Burnout rarely happens overnight. It builds slowly, through small signs that are easy to dismiss: feeling exhausted even after a full night’s sleep, struggling to switch off, losing motivation for things you used to love, or feeling emotionally wrung out for no obvious reason.

Stress doesn’t just live in your head. It shows up in your body too: in your gut, your skin, your sleep, your hormones and your immunity. Everything is connected, and when we keep ignoring the signals, the body eventually finds a louder way to get our attention.

The good news? Those signals are information, not weakness. They’re your body asking for something different. (See the waving hand? That’s where I come in. 👋)

If you’ve been noticing the red flags lately, it might be time to slow down and get the support you deserve. I’m here if you want to talk about what that could look like.

👋 Hello, I’m Sarah, founder of Thrive Wellbeing and a stress and burnout prevention specialist.

I work with capable, busy people who are functioning on the outside but quietly running on empty. I use the science of stress and the nervous system to find the root cause and create changes that actually last.

I know this world from the inside (my own recovery is what brought me here), and that’s what makes the work real.

Taking time to pause, reflect and look after your wellbeing isn’t a luxury or a sign that you can’t cope. It’s actually one of the most capable things you can do.

WHAT A WEEK!

Hello to those of you new to this page. I’m Sarah, founder of Thrive Wellbeing and a stress and burnout prevention specialist based in Jersey.

I work with capable, busy people who are functioning on the outside but quietly running on empty. I use the science of stress and the nervous system to find the root cause and create changes that actually last.

I know this world from the inside (my own recovery is what brought me here), and that’s what makes the work real.

What a launch week! The energy and momentum is beyond my wildest dreams and I still have so much more that I haven’t even shared yet 🤩

If you have been nodding along or intrigued by what you’ve seen and thought about reaching out. DO IT!

I’m a super friendly chatterbox who loves nothing more than helping people understand what is really going on and provide reflections and tools to help you feel better ❤️

Drop me a DM, I’d genuinely love to help and chat.

Wow, what a night! 💚

Over 30 of you showed up to my Jersey launch and the room had the most special energy.

We talked about how mental overload shows up in your body; the tension, the disrupted sleep, the nervous system running on empty. And I shared my own story, from being bed bound to reclaiming my health, and you received it with such warmth and compassion.

So many of you nodding along, giggling at the weird and wonderful stress patterns we all build up without even realising. And the Q&A? I appreciate your honesty and openness so much. This is exactly why we need safe, knowledgeable spaces to discuss this stuff!

This is exactly why I do what I do.

🙏 I don’t want to be Jersey’s best kept secret so please do share this with your friends, your workplace or your children’s school. Stress prevention support needs to be in as many hands as possible.

1:1 sessions and corporate wellbeing are now open in Jersey. Drop me a message or head to the link in my bio to find out more.
