My Best Body Journal

Sarah is one of the most inspirational women I know. A year ago I stumbled upon one of her challenges online and joined her membership. I’m so glad I did, as it far exceeded any expectations I had and has, quite literally, been life changing. Sarah is delightful. She’s always so generous with her time, encouragement and expertise. She is forever finding ingenious ways to lift us up, help us achieve our goals and raise our spirits. It seems as if nothing is too much trouble for her. If she can help you, she most definitely will. Sarah takes the time to get to know all her students. She celebrates our triumphs and is empathetic when we’re down. She carefully tailors her exercises to accommodate everyone’s differing abilities and health challenges. Her caring nature shines through in the friendly, supportive community she has built. She is the best teacher and friend anyone could hope to have and I’m so lucky to have found her.

I have been exercising online in Sarah’s group for two years now, and she continues to inspire and motivate us all. She is always supportive, never judges and understands the hurdles that we all face from time to time. When I first joined I was injured, and her programme has allowed me to strengthen and balance my body in my fifties. She is a diamond who helps us all believe in ourselves.

Sarah’s personal approach has given me a new drive and determination to better myself. She is like a friend, a guide and a coach all rolled in to one.

I found Sarah and Breaking Ballet by chance at a time when my health was failing and age was advancing. To say I found her inspirational is an understatement. Sarah’s creation ‘Breaking Ballet’ is unique and reflects her intelligence, expertise and specialist knowledge. It’s a very professional offering and the icing on the cake is having a kind, compassionate trainer who wants to get to know us and help us to a healthier lifestyle. Sarah seems to spend every moment of each day communicating and guiding us towards better health and always with a huge positive but understanding approach. She is always available for advice. Despite the awful year we just had my emotional balance has vastly improved and the piece de resistance was Sarah’s exercises and tailored support ‘healed’ my partial rotator cuff tear in one arm and has eliminated the pain I felt in the other, operated arm. The physiotherapist who assessed me was stunned and just said keep doing these exercises. I’m forever grateful to Sarah for this and for her enduring love and kindness. She thoroughly deserves the accolade for being such an amazing and inspirational person.

Sarah is so motivating and yet understanding too. She is inspiring, relatable and funny! I must’ve known her for two years now and although we live far away, I class her as a friend and know she is always there with the right words or advice and a supportive smile.

Sarah and her Breaking Ballet concept grabbed my attention via social media with an invitation to try a series of ballet influenced mini workouts to help improve both physical and mental wellbeing. I decided to give it a try. The workouts are well formulated, along with many other elements for support of overall health. The support from Sarah and the fellow members is second to none. Most important is the fact that Sarah is so personable and very present with each individual within the membership. She goes above and beyond the self-improvement package and genuinely works with us in a positive, inspirational and bespoke way.

Sarah would, without a doubt, be the most inspiring lady I have ever known. When Sarah says that she “wants each and every one of us to be the best that we can be”, it is clearly evident that she is deeply passionate about this, and not just spouting rhetoric to improve her business. Sarah is not only authentic, but also exudes humility and positivity, in both her words and actions. Even during the lockdown periods, Sarah was always available, despite having her own family and business to run. It only took a direct message or a Facebook post, and Sarah would jump into action, sharing some advice, a kind word or an anecdote. Sarah told us of both her triumphs and struggles, but she always shared them, which reassured us that she was no different to us and understood what we were going through. In essence, Sarah did everything humanly possible to ensure that both the physical and mental health of every lady inside the Backstage Ballet group was being looked after. Personally, Sarah has inspired me to look deep inside myself, workout regularly, and improve on all aspects of my life that weren’t being looked after properly so that I can improve my long term health. Joining Sarah’s group and learning from Sarah has been the best decision I have ever made.

Sarah and her program have worked for me like nothing I’ve ever tried before. I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but Sarah and her group have supported and inspired me and led me to success that I thought I would never achieve. Sarah is incredible.

Sarah is so knowledgeable in the area of dance, injuries and has been amazing supporting all the lovely ladies in her membership group, especially during lockdown. She gets to know every member and is so encouraging. She has helped me through injuries and when my head has been spinning during lockdown. She is so inspirational and I would recommend her to you all. And the dance workouts are fab too.
