I love the variety in my week - as well as seeing clients in my own practice, you may not know that I also work in another role where I get to use a different set of skills. My workplace recently shared a little profile on me, and I thought I’d post it here too to give you a little more insight! 😌
🥳Team Tuesdays at Canvas and Covers Whangarei🥳
Sarah has been a valued member of the Canvas and Covers team for four years, working as a machinist in our production department. She first joined us when we were still based in a single building on Reyburn Street, and since then, she has become an integral part of our workplace culture. Sarah loves the positive, supportive environment Penny and Brendan have created, and she thrives within the close-knit team.
Her background is both impressive and diverse. Her love of sewing began as a child, sitting beside her mum and learning the craft on a Janome machine. That spark quickly grew into a passion, and after studying art at school, Sarah trained in bespoke, high-pressure, bridal dressmaking.
She worked under a lead designer in the U.K. before moving to New Zealand. She went on to establish herself as a bridal seamstress, running her own business with skill and precision. Alongside her role with us, Sarah continues to be self-employed as a Reiki Practitioner and also holds a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy. This breadth of knowledge and experience reflects the incredible diversity within our team, something we truly value for the richness it brings to our workplace.
Sarah enjoys the creative contrast between the delicate work of bridal wear and the durability of marine canvas.
Outside of work, Sarah enjoys reading, growing her business, and spending time with her partner and their dog, Luna, hiking and hanging at the beach
