Sara Donovan

Competitive swimming and running shaped Sara early. She loves a job where you can actually see people improve.

Sara Donovan

Sara has always been into exercise and rehab, and competitive swimming and running growing up showed her how much movement changes how people feel. It is one of the few jobs where you can actually watch someone improve, and that is what makes it rewarding.

Her favourite part is seeing someone go from not knowing where to start to making real progress, and nothing beats a client improving in a reassessment because of the work they have put in. Patients are often surprised there is far more to it than exercise programs: working out what is actually going on, adapting properly, and building something they can stick with.

Sara's advice if you have been putting it off

“Take control of your health. Getting help early is far better than letting it drag on and become a bigger issue.”

Outside work

Recently obsessed with making homemade focaccia. Reading, and either teaching or doing a pilates class.

Sporting inspiration

The North Queensland Cowboys winning the 2015 NRL Grand Final. Up the Cows.
