Testimonials

  • I worked with Sarah in 2013-15 both privately and in camps. As an older rugby player with a lot of injuries I was eagar to do reformer pilates with a well qualified physiotherapist. I found Sarah's knowledge and communication excellent and her work benefitted me immensely. Her overall interest in health, wellbeing and fitness came across every time I met her. I would highly endorse Sarah's ability.

    Paul O’Connell, Ex Lions, Irish and Munster Rugby Player

  • There is something quite unique about Sarah and her work. Her approach is measured and balanced, full of committment and empathy and built on years of crafting her work and personal experience. She lives in the spaces others fail to serve. This is real high performance.

    Jason Cowman - Head of Performance FAI (Ex Head of Performance for IRFU)

  • Sarah's work with the IRFU added significantly to our injury prevention programme. Her approach was of such a high standard, she was always exploring new ways to practice. Her ability to communicate was standout as was her ability to challenge players and open their minds to new ways of 'training'.

  • As a clinician myself I see the benefit of seeking out excellent professionals who go the extra distance to provide the best treatment. I attended Sarah regularly over a one year period and referred my own clients to Sarah also. Sarah's holistic perspective along with her desire to continually learn is what sets her apart from many others. She helped me greatly in a time I was going through the worst of my illness and I wholeheartedly endorse Sarah

  • I've had the privelege to work with Sarah as she launches Moss & Sand Studio into the world. This place is really special and Sarah is simply one of a kind. You know when you meet people and you just know she is here to make a difference. These classes and workshops will be in high demand. The world needs more Sarahs and safe nurturing spaces like @mossandsandstudio

    Virginia Foley, @upsherises

  • That class was just what I needed. Slow, safe and restorative. I felt so grounded and the sound of the waves was gorgeous. It was so reassuring that Sarah talked us through and dispelled any fear or worry. My body is different after having children but I could sense doing the class today that it remembered it's way.

    Nurse Kerry, @westcorkaesthetics

  • I attended Hypopressives & Well Woman Yoga. What makes this experience truly special is Sarah herself. She has a magnetic presence, so warm, calm & open. Knowing the classes are physio-led gave me such reassurance; I felt completely safe and supported. Sarah has a wonderful way of explaining both what we are doing and why, which deepens the experience in a meaningful way. I can't wait to make Sarah's classes a regular part of my wellbeing practice

  • "A Sanctuary for Mind, Body & Soul". Walking into this studio feels like stepping into a tranquil oasis. The space is absolutely stunning - bathed in natural light, surrounded by the ocean, and thoughtfully designed to create a sense of peace from the moment you enter. Sarah is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate, guiding each practice with intention and care.

  • The Studio itself is absolutely stunning. Overlooking the sea, it's a bright yet cosy sanctuary, thoughtfully decorated with beautiful textures and calming tones. One class the view was hidden by thick fog but the open fire created such a nurturing and inviting atmosphere. The following week, we were blessed with glorious sunshine, views stretching as far as the eye could see, and a refreshing sea breeze through

    Sharon Huggard, Female Empowerment

  • I have attended several of Sarah’s classes in the Moss and Sand Studio in Harbour View including Well Woman Yoga, Hypopressive breathing, Yin Yoga and Pilates. The serene setting for the studio is idyllic, the surroundings are private, calm and quiet with an expansive view over the sea. The atmosphere in the studio is friendly, welcoming and encouraging. Sarah helps to make everyone in the small groups she teaches feel comfortable and relaxed. Sarah has a unique ability to combine her knowledge from physiotherapy with a passion for teaching. She is a gifted teacher and flexibly adapts the activities in the classes to include all abilities. Throughout the class she gives clear, calm, and gentle instructions. She provides generous individual attention and reassurance that helps to build confidence. Careful attention to body and breath run like a thread through all Sarah’s classes in the Moss and Sand studio. It is a joy to attend one of Sarah’s classes and when the class is over to leave the studio feeling uplifted.

    Client - Emma

  • I recently attended two of Sarah's introductory classes and was thoroughly impressed. Her warmth and kindness create an inviting atmosphere that makes you feel at ease from the moment you arrive. As an instructor, she is exceptional—clear in her guidance and attentive to individual needs, ensuring everyone feels supported throughout the session. The added bonus of a beautiful view during the classes enhances the overall experience, making it both rejuvenating and serene. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah's classes to anyone seeking a thoughtful and enriching approach to wellness.
