Sarah is the co founder and director of Zen Boutique Resort and Retreat Centre in Zanzibar, a unique wellness destination dedicated to holistic wellbeing, rest, and renewal.
Prior to establishing her business, Sarah worked for 17 years within the UK’s National Health Service as a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and manager, where she specialised in improving access to mental health support and the development of therapeutic services.
