Sarah became involved in osteopathy at a young age as a result of various sporting injuries sustained during a successful athletics career. She found osteopathic treatment to be the most helpful modality to reduce pain and improve mobility, as well as practical lifestyle changes and rehabilitation exercises that could be continued away from the clinic. This is reflected in her treatment style, which incorporates both direct structural techniques including soft tissue, stretching, joint mobilisation and manipulation, as well as gentle functional treatment and biodynamic osteopathy in the cranial field. She has a special interest in treating babies and children, as well as their mothers through every stage of the process.

Sarah is passionate about education and is always completing further studies to hone her skills and update her knowledge, and reading the latest research in the field of manual medicine. She will always welcome questions as she also likes to educate her patients if they are interested. Sarah has additional qualifications in myofascial dry needling, treatment of children, and biodynamic osteopathy in the cranial field (Phases 1-4, Phase 1 Children) and is a qualified Animal Osteopath and member of Animal Biomechanical Professionals Australia.
