As the founder of “Your Reason to Breathe”, Sarah uses her own experiences with Burnout and Depression to help others avoid the dark place that she found herself in when she left the corporate world. She founded Your Reason to Breathe as a way to show those burning out at work that there are easy steps that can help turn the dark and depressing into an empowered and fulfilling life.

Whilst volunteering at an orphanage for disabled children in Vietnam, Sarah found not only her own Reason to Breathe but a wealth of business and life lessons in the everyday activities with the children. She attributes her own recovery from Burnout to learning how to prioritize herself over work and that smiling and laughter were powerful remedies to fight the negativity of burning out. Her unique experiences whilst volunteering give her valuable insights into resilient leadership and team dynamics that all organizations can benefit from.

With an international career of nearly 20 years in Compliance, Ethics, and Process Improvement, Sarah combines a wealth of business experience with the unique business lessons she learnt through volunteering and her own recovery from Burnout to help businesses retain and supporting their top talent whilst still delivering on the bottom line. Sarah now works with private clients, as well as corporate executives and their teams, to help them strengthen their own resilience and thrive.

Karen has over 24 years experience as a Personal Trainer, Sports Therapist and Group Exercise Instructor. After leaving the industry back in December 2016 due to EXHAUSTION, she went on to become a mindset coach for online business owners. Over the next 2 years, she gained over 3 and a half stone in weight.

The company she was consulting for, shut down overnight, and she lost everything, her relationship ended, she lost all self-confidence and hid from the world. At 46 she felt that she needed to do something about this.

She had studied nutrition and sports nutrition as a personal trainer and the advice she had always given out was to eat a balanced diet of 6 small meals per day, but it wasn’t working.

She discovered the Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting, like a wonder, she began losing weight. In her first 90 days, she had lost 3 stone, without exercising. Although she had built an impressive career in the fitness world, fitness plays a very small part in weight loss, only about 15%. The other 85% is down to Nutrition.

Now she helps those who have struggled to lose weight, through dieting and exercise and she offers an alternative lifestyle solution, that eliminates cravings, doesn’t leave you hungry, which makes the whole process easier and more enjoyable, and most importantly gets guaranteed RESULTS!

She runs an online community, so much more than a slimming club, this is a unique ‘ALL IN’ approach, combining:

MINDSET – specifically, clearing out old, negative, limiting beliefs that could be holding you back.

NUTRITION – this is an easy to follow, step by step 6 week plan to Flip the Switch and turn you into a fat burning machine, It is based on the proven system of LCHF/Ketogenic eating plan combined with Intermittent Fasting Protocols. Weight Loss is rapid and there are huge health benefits too.

EXERCISE – If you are too busy to get to the gym, I also give a 30 min workout that you can do from the comfort of your own home, choose from a cardio workout, yoga-based workout, HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) workout and Core.

Her passion is being able to give people back their self confidence, energy, help them take back control of their eating and achieve their weight loss and fitness goals. She shows them how to create a Happier, Healthier, Leaner Version of themselves.

EDUCATION + MINDSET + NUTRITION + EXERCISE =RESULTS!
