Hi, I’m Sarah Mannion…

I live in beautiful North Devon, and my journey has been about learning to truly support myself — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Living with chronic health challenges showed me the power of slowing down, listening deeply, and taking gentle yet radical responsibility for my own wellbeing.

As a former lawyer, I know how hard it can be to put yourself first. Competing demands, high expectations, and the pace of modern life can leave little room for rest or self-care. I bring this understanding into my work, helping people prioritise their wellbeing without guilt or overwhelm.

Over time, I realised that true health isn’t just about the external choices — it’s about a deep understanding of ourselves, our energy, and what we need to feel balanced, vibrant, and at peace. And this requires space. Slowing down, pausing and listening deeply.

I teach what I need to learn (it’s an ongoing journey, of course!), sharing this experience to guide others in reconnecting with themselves and nurturing their mind, body, and spirit.

My approach is compassionate, holistic, and grounded. I support people in creating a life of wellbeing that feels aligned, authentic, and nourishing — helping them pause, restore, and embrace harmony in their everyday lives.

Kind Words

The vision I created during my coaching with Sarah was great. The fact that I had created it with her help makes me smile - I look at it and think I did that, rather than copying something from online or from someone else. This was really powerful.

Whilst we set out goals for 2 areas of my life, the strategies definitely overlapped into other areas. The process made me really think about my goals and I now understand that I am the only one that can make the necessary changes. The coaching was definitely worthwhile.

Working with Sarah has been great. It really made a positive impact on my life and I continue to use the skills I developed with her.

I found my sessions with Sarah to be extremely helpful in many ways. What I loved about the process is that is was so personal and unprescriptive. Our conversations helped me to focus on areas which I felt I needed to work on and to understand for myself why it was important to make these changes, for me, for my health and future. Sarah was very knowledgeable and the information she was able to give me was invaluable. I came away from our month of sessions feeling energised and with a new daily routine - a big and very positive change for me - enabling me to achieve many other smaller changes in my day to day that when combined should be of a long term benefit to me in all areas of my life.

I highly recommend Sarah as a coach and feel this approach is perfect for those who don't want to be told what they should be doing but rather to discover it within themselves, in order to make meaningful change.

I worked with Sarah to find ways to better manage anxiety and stress primarily caused by my current inability to exercise which I have always found critical to maintaining my mental health.  In an incredibly discreet way Sarah was able to lead me to find solutions and pragmatic ways of me being able to use tools to feel better about various things that worried me. On putting these tools into use I felt very much less anxious and better able to cope with day to day ups and downs. I’d not hesitate to recommend working with Sarah!

My coaching with Sarah lasted about 8 months, my remit was to improve my well being, general health and reduce my weight.  During this time I had many outside influences and issues completely distracting me from my end goal. Talking with Sarah brought me back into focus and kept me on track with just a few deviations. I always felt uplifted after our chats, even if I’d had a bad week she managed to find a positive!  My progress was slow but at the end of our coaching I feel much more in control of my issues, my weight has reduced and my general health improved. I am aware of my weaknesses and how to deal with these. Sarah has made me so much more aware. One of my aims was to reduce my blood sugar as I was in the pre-diabetic range. This with Sarah’s help I’ve achieved with 100% success.  Thank you Sarah.

Before working with Sarah, I didn't have much belief that I could be healthy, fit and well. I looked at some of my friends and wondered how they managed to fit in exercise and healthy eating habits on top of a career and family, and didn't think that was something I would ever manage.  Working with Sarah gave me an enormous boost. I learned how to visualise my own wellness, and enjoy small steps towards my goals. I gained so much confidence by celebrating even tiny achievements that I now feel I can continue to get healthier and stronger for the long term. By embedding and building on the small changes I initially made, I feel better every week. Using the techniques I developed with Sarah to set new goals is really useful in continuing my journey.

Receiving Sarah's coaching by phone meant that I felt comfortable opening up about my concerns, and made it easy to fit in around children. She is wonderfully supportive and encouraging.
