Sarah graduated with a Kinesiology degree from the Memorial University of Newfoundland, and then went on to complete her Advanced Certificate in Athletic Therapy at Mount Royal College in Calgary. She completed the requirements to become a Certified Athletic Therapist in 2003.

She uses Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Release, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Mulligan, Muscle Energy, Soft Tissue Release, and Active Isolated Stretching Techniques.

Sarah also draws on her strong background in coaching the sport of figure skating, and in strength and conditioning, to ensure her patients receive an exercise program that will help them meet their goals and get back to sport and life faster. She previously held coaching designations with the NCCP, including level III Theory and Level II Certification in the sport of Figure Skating. She has also held some of the most highly regarded strength and conditioning certifications such as Professional Fitness and Lifestyle Consultant through the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (Canada), and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (USA).
