Hi and welcome!

i’m sarah, an edinburgh-based personal trainer with a love for exercise and sport for as long as i can remember.

after deciding to change my career in my late 20s, i went into full time education studying sport and exercise science at Napier university. i was delighted to find out i was pregnant at the start of my last year, and following a year off, i returned to complete my dissertation looking at the effects of exercise in pregnancy on psychological health.

this honours project really made my decision for me, in terms of what i wanted to pursue my career following study. i exercised throughout my pregnancy and was due to meet a friend in the gym the morning my waters broke! i really believe this helped me during my pregnancy, labour and recovery (and even more so the second time round). i went on to complete courses in personal training and pre/post natal exercise, which i absolutely loved.

after the birth of my second daughter, lock down hit and i made the decision to focus on both girls. now with them both in school, i decided to make the change from stay at home mum to study again, learning more in post natal strenghtening as well as peri/post menopause exercise. the extent of my knowledge prior to the menopause courses stemmed from players in my own hockey team and memories of my mum telling me when she was having a hot flush..!! the menopause can be life changing and isolating, but i am here to guide you through and keep you moving!!

in my spare time i love to run, strength train and play club hockey. for the last 2 years i have also enjoyed playing masters hockey for the scotland o35 squad.

movement and exercise is important at any age, we want to age proof our body so that we continue doing the things we love for longer! i can help you get fitter and stronger through all stages of your life. we want to continue doing this as we age to train our body for everyday living and make things easier for ourselves! i’d love to hear from you!

a list of my qualifications are detailed below!
