She then got a place as a post graduate at Stanford University, USA andstudied English, European and American Literature and achieved a First Class MA.

Sarah returned to England and studied for a Ph.D. in Spirituality and Consciousness in Literature at Durham University. It was at this time that Sarah became very interested in meditation and Eastern traditions.

A Catholic upbringing had taught her to respect that 'which is of God in other Faiths', (Vatican II document 1963) and so she became a novice nun in Hinduism and spent a year training in England and then went out to India. This was life changing.

Her Hindu teachers eventually asked her to return and forge links with her original Christian tradition so Sarah lived in a Carmelite Monastery, (a closed silent contemplative order) and then a teaching order where she was asked to lead retreats and teach yoga for the first time. That was in 1989. From 1991 Sarah worked for three years with the 'Westminster Interfaith Programme' (under the patronage of Cardinal Basil Hulme) in London and she has continued to be involved in inter-faith work ever since, working with the Worldwide Community of Christian Meditators (WCCM) and interfaith groups around the country.

Sarah is now married and has two children. She was recognised as a senior tutor in the British Wheel of Yoga in 2000 and in the same year she made another life changing visit - this time to Samye Ling Tibetan Buddhist Monastery and feels that she has found a tradition that can teach her what she needs to know. She is well known for her engaging teaching style which is both knowledgeable and full of humour. Sarah teaches all around Britain and Ireland and leads a course each summer on Holy Island.
