Sarah graduated from Dalhousie University with a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience as her first degree. Her keen interest in human anatomy, physiology, and psychology, combined with a passion for enhancing health and wellness, led her to study osteopathy. Sarah then earned a Master’s in Osteopathy from the University College of Osteopathy (formerly the British School of Osteopathy) in London, UK.
Sarah was drawn to the practice of osteopathy based on its core principles and approach to patient healthcare. Her personal experience in the healthcare system has helped her understand the value of a patient-centred approach. To achieve a positive outcome, Sarah believes that healthcare must be a partnership between patient and practitioner. Each patient’s health needs and goals should be heard and treated in a manner individual to them.
Sarah aims to enhance each patient’s health and well-being by identifying the factors that are influencing the individual’s capacity to adapt and function in their environment. She tailors each appointment and management plan to suit the client’s personal goals, lifestyle, and general well-being by using a range of osteopathic manual techniques, providing lifestyle and exercise recommendations, and educating patients. Sarah predominantly uses structural osteopathic techniques, incorporating functional approaches to support movement, reduce tissue tension, and enhance the body’s capacity to adapt.
She has experience providing osteopathic care in the UK and Canada. She is pleased to be working in Nova Scotia and providing care to people in her home community. Sarah regularly treats people in various stages of life, from youths to seniors, and with diverse needs, including athletes, pregnant women, and office workers. She welcomes new and returning patients to her practice. She is a member of the General Osteopathic Council (United Kingdom), the Ontario Association of Osteopaths, and the Nova Scotia Association of Osteopaths.
Sarah comes from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, where she has been involved in organized sport, community service, and leading youth recreational activities for most of her life. She enjoys spending time swimming, running, hiking, and playing soccer, as well as playing the piano and travelling.
