ABOUT US
We are Sara and Emily, a mother and daughter duo on a mission to share a whole health approach to wellbeing based on harnessing the power of the mind-body connection.
We turned to the science behind mind-body medicine in our search for answers to Sara’s decade long battle with neuro-cardio Behçets, a life-threatening autoimmune disease.
After discovering the groundbreaking research behind the power of the mind, Sara introduced meditation and mindfulness practices into her everyday life, which began to help her cope with illness, chronic pain and the side-effects of treatment. Sara’s transformative response to what we now call Mind Training inspired us to create a space where we can empower others to dial down stress and dial up inner calm for enhanced wellbeing.
With our combined backgrounds in specialty medicine and psychology, as well as further training in meditation, mindfulness and mind-body medicine, we are passionate about teaching the power of Mind Training, along with mindful and sustainable living, to help others make positive shifts in their health, and ultimately, their lives.
SARA LITTLE
DMU (CARDIAC)
Co-Founder & Director
Sara is a qualified cardiac diagnostic imaging specialist with over 20 years experience in the medical field. Her thriving career was cut short with the diagnosis of a life-threatening autoimmune disease, which led her to turn to mind-body medicine for answers. Sara's transformative response to meditation and mindfulness practices led to her completing formal training as a Meditation Instructor and Mindfulness@Work Facilitator at the internationally renowned McLean Meditation Institute. She is now fully certified to deliver mindfulness-based programs, workshops and retreats, both independently and at a corporate level.
With her unique experience of being on both sides of the healthcare provider and patient equation, Sara is passionate about making wellbeing a priority for healthcare providers, as well as sharing the power of the mind-body connection with others who are suffering from chronic conditions, many of which are switched on by chronic stress and burnout. Sara's passion for bringing mind-body medicine into modern medicine led to her completing the Dr Herbert Benson MD Course in Mind-Body Medicine at Harvard University in 2019.​ Sara is now on a mission to share her experience, knowledge and skills to help others overcome stress, illness and pain, and achieve their optimal wellbeing.
