Hey! I’m Sarah and I come from a little island called Malta. I moved to the UK to work as a doctor after finishing medical school. For as long as I remember I wanted to be a doctor and help people. Working as a doctor for 8 years, I learnt that I couldn’t help people the way I once dreamt I would. Unfortunately the health system did not allow me to offer the care I think a patient deserves. The leading causes of deaths worldwide are due to lifestyle factors but I did not see a health system that dealt with this, instead patients were prescribed medication which put a plaster on the issue rather than dealt with the root cause. The more time passed, the more I knew I wanted to help in a different and more holistic way, in a way that prevented diseases and modified lifestyle factors first and foremost.

In the mean time, I had two children and the fast-paced lifestyle just wasn’t working for myself or my family. I had very little time for myself. I was exhausted, meals were rushed, take-outs were ordered and I felt like I wasn’t the best I could be. I lost myself in motherhood and the hectic life demands. I was burning out and my anxiety was the worst it had ever been.
