About NURTUREher Retreats
Sarah Shaw - Host and organiser
"Sarah not only listened to me but she 'heard' me. She met me where I was at and we made small and steady changes to improve my lifestyle and my level of self worth. What I love about Sarah's style is that it is without judgement, with compassion and was honest.
I went to Sarah thinking 'I just want to lose weight', not only did I achieve that goal I became a happier person, a better mum and a better wife. From the bottom of my heart....thank you" Kate
