Sarah Cowie

Practice Manager

Hello and Welcome to Beyond Self!

It is such a privilege to be part of this team of amazing practitioners and support
staff.

I have been in the holistic health and wellness arena for the past 17 years but
originate from the catering industry back in the dark ages (1980’s!!) and then
diversified slightly to the bridal industry when we arrived in Australia from the UK in
1992, when I made award-winning wedding cakes and arranged wedding flowers for
many years.

I have a Cordon Bleu cookery background but as my knowledge and experience
firsthand of integrative healthcare grew so my cooking/eating preferences changed
radically over the years and now what I really love is natural, healthy, unprocessed
foods wherever possible. Raw treats/cakes are my speciality!

I have always been a water baby! I love the ocean in particular but am also happy
swimming laps in a pool – ocean or otherwise! I also love to walk every day – with or
without our dog, and our move to The Hunter Valley in the last few years has
renewed my love for a good countryside walk, especially on a crisp winter day. The
seniors’ card that I carry now feels ‘less rude’ as I continue to embrace being a
grandparent! And our precious little crew of 6 (soon to be 7) grandchildren is good
motivation for me to keep moving often and stay as fit and well as possible for as
long as possible. I absolutely adore my role of ‘Rara’ which brings me so much joy
and love and laughter.

I also love time with family and friends over a good coffee or lunch, or a walk, and a
love of music, reading, and some ‘crafty things’ all make me feel enormously
appreciative for the very blessed life I live.

Ps If you’re wondering about the Hunter Valley mention, I am fortunate enough to be
able to work from home and visit the clinic every few weeks! Rest assured though
that I am in daily contact with the Beyond Self Team as I continue in my role of
Practice Manager:-) (and I’m still a Northern Beaches girl at heart!)
