Sarah Stannard Certified Health & Wellness Coach

My health became a priority for me when I was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease in my mid-thirties, leading me to retrain as a Health and Wellness Coach after spending almost twenty years as Director of Sales and Marketing.

With my newfound passion for nutrition, exercise, and positivity, I shaped my career to assist others in living a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life.

About me

As a private practitioner, I specialise in Weight Management and Female Health. Alongside this, I deliver regular corporate wellness events, and consult for both Surrey County Council (helping children with obesity) and Healthier Weight UK and The Weight Loss Clinic.

On a monthly basis, I produce health and wellness articles for numerous publications. My work has been featured in Global Woman Magazine, Women’s Own and on BBC Radio Surrey/Sussex.
