Why Sage Health & Wellness?

  • Professional

    Over 20 years of experience supporting people towards improved health and wellness through Physiotherapy. A deep understanding of the human body, combined with knowledge of health and disease, allows for the provision of informed and compassionate care.

  • Expertise

    Delivering a successful NHS service that provided support and assistance to thousands of individuals who were struggling with Long Covid, ME/CFS, and Post Viral Fatigue, since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Meeting the diverse needs these conditions bring, and supporting people back to health.

  • Personal

    More importantly, it’s personal. Long Covid landed for me in 2021, so you don’t need to explain, I’ve been there, lived it, and know what you’re going through. I know what works and what doesn’t, so can give personal assurance on the tools and strategies recommend through Sage, because I use them myself.

Testimonials

I asked Karen to support me in preparing for a Ski holiday.
I had previously recovered from ME/CFS and had a functional physical level but needed that extra support and knowledge to build my strength and stamina appropriately for skiing.
Karen is extremely professional, approachable and understanding, giving me the expert advice needed while also supporting me with building my strength at a pace that was appropriate for me.
I highly recommend Karen for any physical and wellbeing issues, and I will definitely continue to use her service in the future.

Sue, Bridgend

Karen was so compassionate and attentive during the assessment. She really listened and understood what I was facing (MS).
She helped me work systematically towards my goal of walking and many tears were shed when I finally did. Thank you

Joanne, Neath

I have Benign Positional Vertigo (BPPV) which until recently has never bothered me. In April I started to have "attacks" virtually every day. It was worrying me as I was afraid to drive as well. Karen came to see me and did a procedure on my head. As a result I haven't had any problems since. I'm very grateful to her.

Meryl, Bridgend

I wanted to take a moment to thank you and share some feedback on our coaching sessions over the past two weeks. During our first session, I truly appreciated your calm, patient, and understanding approach. It created a safe space for me to speak openly about my experiences. Although it was an emotional session and I found myself in tears, your gentle guidance and support helped me feel heard and validated.

In our second session, I found it really helpful how we moved forward by identifying specific problems and setting realistic and meaningful goals. It gave me a clearer understanding of my current situation and what steps I can take to move forward. Your ability to guide me through this process made a big difference, and I’m feeling more equipped to take positive action. Thank you again for your support and guidance so far – it’s been incredibly valuable.

Roma, Cardiff

It has definitely helped me re-evaluate my recovery and better understand my condition (Long Covid). I have become more aware of changes in my symptoms and trying to react to what my body is telling me more kindly. I have a more evidence-based understanding of what my body needs to do to recover and how I can facilitate this. I feel more calm and accepting of my condition. I liked that Karen offered a tailored service to my particularly difficulties. She offered evidence-based solutions and was never judgemental. She provided a lot of useful information by video that I could look at in between sessions so that our time together was spent discussing relevant topics. The time we had together felt well used and well thought out. Thank you very much for your help over recent weeks.

Gemma, Whitchurch

Since working with Karen I truly believe that I have improved in many aspects of my illness. My understanding of Long Covid has increased exponentially. Karen has given me so many tools to help me to cope with many of the symptoms. Through various strategies provided to me, I am able to pace myself to get through each day without too many problems. This is a huge improvement compared to my health & wellness prior to working with Karen where I would regularly 'crash' as soon as I returned home from work. This would often lead to me cancelling plans and commitments. I now feel that with careful planning and pacing, I am able to continue with more of the nice things in life!!

It has also helped me to realise the importance of looking after me, rather than purely dedicating my time to everyone else. I now understand that if I don't give myself some self-care, I cannot provide the care and attention to friends & family. The various breathing exercises have also had an impact on my day to day life. The small percentages that I gain from these definitely help me to feel better and less anxious. The help, guidance and support that Karen has provided to me has really helped me to think more positively, and to look forward to each new day. Karen, I cannot thank you enough.

On top of this, one of the biggest positives is how incredibly understanding and personable Karen is. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, but she is able to relate everything to me as an individual. She had an amazing ability to identify how I felt, and could suggest ideas that I could relate to and utilise accordingly. I always felt that I was being given everything that I could possibly use to improve. As already mentioned I cannot thank you enough. What you have done for me over the last few months has been incredible and life-changing. You have given me so many positives to work with, whereas prior to your help I was almost feeling helpless. I now look forward to each new day with the courage to not give in to this horrible illness!! Thank you Karen, you are amazing!!

Dave, Rhydyfelin

Karen was able to give me the specific advice, support and reassurance that I needed to start and continue my recovery from Long Covid. I was able to completely trust Karen’s advice having previously known her as a colleague and knowing that Karen had personal experience of what I was going through. I’m extremely grateful for Karen’s kindness and encouragement during the difficult time when recovery seemed impossible.

Clare, Cardiff

Thank you for all that you have done for me. I've been told so many times that I would never walk again (with MS) and Karen made it possible for me to walk again. She is a very special person. Thank you very much.

Dennis, Port Talbot

I would like to thank Karen who has treated me in the past few months.
I was given treatment and exercises for the pain and pins and needles in my right arm.
At the moment things are well and I do not need any more treatment.
