My Story

Meet me, Sarah, founder of Inner Compass Wellbeing and Mum to 2 amazing daughters plus a cat!

I grew up on our family farm in North Yorkshire and spent a 30-year career in the insurance industry. However, I became very ill and was eventually diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Fibromyalgia!

I had endured years of trauma without realising that this had majorly impacted on my health crash. The illness completely floored me and I felt totally let down by the mainstream medical system. Multiple referrals to every kind of specialist left me navigating the revolving door of the NHS for years only to leave me without hope of recovery and a message that my life was one of disability.

I could not accept this and turned to holistic alternatives as I carried out my own research (with a lot of trial & error practices!). I quickly realised that mainstream medically treats each area of the body and mind as being completely separate, but in order to make a difference, a holistic approach is absolutely essential.

Thank goodness I didn’t buy into the idea that I would be housebound and ill for the rest of my life because this is the recovered me! Super active! Driving a tractor back at my happy place on my parents farm!

I can clearly see now how and why my life got so off track. I can see that the unprocessed grief and pain added to my poor health SO my aim now is to help women find their way through their own recovery journey and prevent others from reaching a state of complete burnout so they may live their best lives.

Don’t give up on your dreams of a happy life!
