*ON MATERNITY LEAVE*

Who: Clarity’s proud Mumma-Bear, and soon to be Mumma!

Why: Sarah established Clarity in 2013 with a dream to build a unique multi-disciplinary centre of highly skilled, motivated and positive practitioners operating in a professional, warm and supportive space, with a view to provide authentic and effective care to a broad range of clients. Since then, the Clarity Family has grown to a team of 17 brilliant practitioners, teachers and admin staff!

How: Herself a very experienced Remedial Therapist, Sarah passionately treats a small number of regular clients, but as the demands of a growing team and business continue to expand, she is honing her focus towards the development of Clarity Wellness, and educating SA practitioners through Clarity Courses & Workshops.

Outside of the wonderful world of Clarity, Sarah loves: music, theatre, film, food, giving presentations, drinking wine, tea & craft beer as well as networking, cooking and snuggling with Bill Murray (her cat!)

When: Sarah is flat out with her existing clients and managing the growing business, so is not taking on any new clients. At Clarity we only hire the best people to help you with your wellbeing and sessions can be made with one of the following talented Clarity practitioners:

Who: Hello, my name is Heather, I am one the newest members of the Clarity Team. I was very lucky to have found my niche in remedial massage therapy at a young age.  I studied my Diploma at the Australian Institute of Fitness here in Adelaide alongside some very talented inspiring therapists. I like to spend my free time with those I love most; my close friends and family. My favourite thing to do is go for a never-ending run along the beach with my music in, thinking about everything (and sometimes nothing at all!) and just enjoying the company of my own self.

Why: This passion strings from my ongoing interest in the importance between an individual’s physical capabilities in relation to their body, and their state of mind. I experienced the wonders of a little self maintenance and it inspired my to learn more about the musculoskeletal system so I could educate others and give them tools and resources so they can thrive all the time!

What:

• Lower back pain (assisting in glute activation)
• Hip and joint discomfort
• Neck and shoulder aches + pains
• Helping with recovery of muscle strains + regaining full range of movement

How:

• Myofascial release
• Trigger point therapy
• Assisted stretching (PNF)
• Sports recovery massage
• Deep tissue massage
• Strength and stretching exercises
• Pregnancy massage

My massage technique is catered to your specific needs, but in general I like to give a firm flowing massage targeting these specific areas and assisting muscles causing any pain or discomfort in the best way I know how… massage!

Julia is a Polestar certified Pilates Matwork instructor who loves to move. Originally taking classes to alleviate general aches + pains, she found Pilates to be much more than a system of physical exercise; rather, a holistic approach to whole body health + wellbeing:

”Pilates builds strong, supple + resilient bodies. It utilises gentle, expanding movements which can help soften the sympathetic tone of the body + promote feelings of calm + wellbeing. Through the Pilates method, students are able to gain greater ease, freedom + joy in movement, both inside the classroom + in their daily activities.”

Julia teaches Mat Pilates on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday mornings. To book your class, head here.
