Additionally, Sarah has worked with a large number of schools and in the corporate sector. She has an interest in metabolic syndrome, PCOS and insulin resitance which can effect both adults and children.

As Sarah has a physiology background she is able to give clients the appropriate exercise advice in addition to the necessary diet plan and education. For all clients body measurements including waist and widest girth or skinfold measurements in addition to scale weight are taken. This is to encourage those clients who need to change "shape / body composition" rather than become scale fixated.
