I attended the trail guide supervision and I cannot recommend it enough. It is great to look at areas of the body in more detail , which I do not usually do (the trail guide can be a bit of a scary book! ) Sarah helped to break it down in digestable chunks with such ease and a good dose of humour, which I love. Plus ,learning from each other experieces , examples and techniques , having missed supervision during Covid, this has more than made up for it, 2 more sessions booked today !Thanks Sarah x

Sarah is genuinely one if the best tutors I have ever done a course with. She is constructive, knowledgeable and fun. She is clearly a natural teacher who shares her considerable experience and expertise with ease. After I finished the 3 day deep tissue course I was confident in my new techniques and knowledge, with a clear idea how to integrate them into my daily practice. If you can do a course with Sarah grab the chance and enjoy.

Sarah helped me, via hypnotherapy, to ease my phobia of injections to enable me to cope with having the Covid vaccine. Whilst I wanted the protection of the vaccine, my phobia was so intense that it would have been impossible for me to book it and go through with it without Sarah's help. Sarah is kind, compassionate and encouraging. She listened carefully to what I wanted to achieve and worked with me to achieve that goal, working at my pace. She explained the science behind hypnotherapy very clearly (which is fascinating!). I really enjoyed every session. I'd never had hypno before and went in with an open mind. The trance element of the sessions were very relaxing. I was fully aware of myself and what was happening at all times - it is just deep relaxation. By starting a simple journal every day and listening to Sarah's recording before sleep each night I soon began to notice a positive difference in my physical and mental responses to having the vaccine. Thanks to Sarah I am now fully vaccinated and have been able to type the word "injection" twice in this review, which I wouldn't have been able to do before! Highly reccomend.

I sought out Sarah whilst in severe pain in my back, neck and shoulder. I'd already seen my Osteo/Chiro who'd sorted out any structural issues. I knew that this was largely tension from a traumatic week with lots of very difficult emotions. I'd tried everything from painkillers to meditation to get it to release. Sarah understood straight away what I needed. We chatted on the phone and she paid attention to the emotional and physical symptoms. Agreeing that a nurturing healing massage was needed. I felt incredibly comfortable with her. She is very professional with a strong sense of empathy. A rare balance of technical knowledge/physical skill with a deeper sense for the emotional and subconscious stresses and the connection of mind and emotions with the body. Her technique was both gentle and very effective. I felt like my muscles were being gently invited to relax and give the space to do so. I immediately felt better and over the two days since virtually all that chronic tension has dissipated. Thank you! The Buddhist Centre is also a lovely bright massage space.
