Practitioner background
Sarah has been drawn to natural medicine and East Asian culture for as long as she can remember. She recalls regularly visiting Chinese supermarkets as a small child and being fascinated by the colours, shapes, aromas, and even the taste, of raw and liquid herbs.
Her journey into martial arts began when she was only eight years old, and since then she has been committed to pursuing several traditional karate styles for the meditative, grounding and fitness aspects of the art. Sarah has trained in Goju Ryu karate in Japan and was a sempai at her local dojo. She is a qualified Qigong teacher.
Sarah began her first natural medicine study focusing on aromatherapy in high school. She still employs essential oils in her work and personal life for their medicinal benefits and delightful natural aromas.
A passion for growing, cooking and eating good food has allowed Sarah plenty of time to have fun in the kitchen and garden experimenting with dairy-free, gluten-free and vegetarian dishes. As a Permaculture Design Course graduate, Sarah is passionate about improving sustainability at the clinic, in her home and the community. When she’s not in clinic, learning more about health and Chinese Medicine, or cooking, you’ll find Sarah spending her spare time appreciating the natural environment, bushwalking, scuba diving, cycling, gardening, enjoying live music/art, exploring meditation/mindfulness and practicing qigong.
