As Seen In:
Hi, I’m Sarah - a psychologist and coach, nature-lover, and firm believer that performance and wellbeing go hand in hand. I started my journey on a small Sussex farm, studied psychology at university, and have gone on to work with Olympic and Paralympic athletes at the top of their game.
Along the way, I’ve supported hundreds of people to grow in confidence, clarity, and resilience. These days, I split my time between coaching my fantastic clients, hosting retreats, hiking up mountains, skiing down them and swimming in cold water whenever I can!
I split my time between Sussex and the French Alps and I’m all about helping others live, lead and perform with purpose.
a bit about my story
With a focus on performance and wellbeing in equal measure, she has helped hundreds of clients grow businesses, boost confidence, and thrive under pressure — earning multiple awards along the way. Inspired by the transformational effects of breathwork and cold-water exposure during lockdown, Sarah trained as a Wim Hof Method Instructor in 2021.
She works with corporate teams on elements of high performance like communication, energy management, productivity, leadership, and values. In 2023, she founded Big Sky Adventures, offering immersive retreats. Set in awe-inspiring locations like the Scottish Highlands, French Alps and the Lake District, these experiences combine outdoor challenges with deep mindset coaching to create lasting personal change.
After university, Sarah expanded her expertise by training as a Sports Massage Therapist. This opened doors into elite-level cycling, where she supported athletes such as Dame Sarah Storey and Drops Pro-Cycling, travelling internationally with the team on the UCI World Tour. Working so closely with high performers reignited her drive to merge physical performance with psychological resilience.
In 2017, she co-founded Centre10 alongside Olympic performance coach Charlie Unwin, creating evidence-based sports psychology training for coaches and athletes across the UK and beyond. Building on her coaching experience, Sarah launched Inner Chill Coaching in 2018. What began as one-to-one support for athletes soon evolved into strategic coaching for teams, clubs, schools, and entrepreneurs.

my clients
Nicola Cranham
“I joined Sarah’s coaching programme knowing I wanted to start a business but unsure how. She guided me through the process, gave me tools to plan my next steps, and most importantly, the confidence to launch. Sarah genuinely cares about you and your business - I can’t recommend her enough!”
Claire Nixon
“I’ve just finished Sarah’s Hustle & Flow programme and can’t recommend it enough - it’s a no-brainer. I’ve learned the value of self-care, working smarter, and pushing past procrastination. With Sarah’s guidance and the support of the group, I developed my ‘Keys to Coaching’ course, launched online programmes, and even finished my book (out in November, with Sarah writing the foreword!). Her clarity and focus made it all possible.”
Siobhan Schous
"Having worked with Sarah for the last six months, it has hands down been the best decision I've ever made in my life! Sarah is so knowledge, inspiring and incredibly supportive. She made each weekly session a fun, structured and truly motivating environment, making you excited for the future. Sarah is a top-class coach and I cannot recommend her enough!"
fun facts about me
In 2018, I was part of a successful English Channel relay swim — we made it from England to France in just under 15 hours!
I’m half English, half Dutch, and hold dual nationality with the UK and Australia — my mum was born in the Netherlands but raised in Perth, Western Australia.
I kicked off my equestrian career working for British event rider William Fox-Pitt. My first 5* event was grooming at Burghley in 2008, where William took both 1st and 2nd place — not a bad start!
In 2024, I qualified as a Mountain Leader. I love the mental and physical challenge of hiking in the wilds of England, Scotland, and Wales — it’s my kind of reset.
