Sarah Benjamins

Nutrition Support

Sarah is a systems thinker with degrees in Nutritional Therapy (MSc), Environmental Biology (BSc) and Urban Design (DipCD). She is particularly interested in the effects of childhood trauma and neurodivergence on wellbeing, and has contributed her research to publications on related subjects.

With her own lifelong experience of chronic unexplained pain and fatigue, Sarah has benefitted from the power of both nutrition and lifestyle interventions in supporting her own health and happiness. Therefore, finds it immensely rewarding to be working amongst like-minded professionals at the OHC.

Sarah was raised in a food conscious environment, by women who prioritised ethical healthy eating. As a child she witnessed the effects of food intolerances in others, so becoming aware of the impact of what we eat on how we feel.
