MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
Hello, I’m Sara
Hi, I’m Sara, a holistic health consultant with years of pharmacy experience, and the person behind Yorkshire Vitality.
I offer personalised health screenings and consultations designed around you, because your body isn’t broken, it just needs the right support. I take a truly holistic view of health, understanding that the body works as one connected system. Rather than masking symptoms, I focus on gently addressing root causes and restoring balance, using natural, supportive approaches wherever possible.
My interest in holistic health began early. While studying Pharmacy at the University of Bradford, I was especially drawn to the therapeutic benefits of plants and natural medicine. After more than 20 years as a registered NHS pharmacist, I realised I wanted to support people in a different way, less firefighting, more prevention, and more time to truly listen.
I’m currently studying for a diploma in Herbal Medicine with the College of Natural Medicine, and I bring this knowledge into every consultation. That blend of clinical pharmacy experience and herbal practice allows me to offer something a little different: careful, safe guidance that feels personal, practical, and empowering.
During your appointment, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at your health. I use a phase-contrast microscope to examine a simple finger-prick blood sample, and you see exactly what I see, in real time. I talk you through what it means in clear, everyday language, so you leave feeling informed rather than overwhelmed.
I also offer insulin resistance testing, which can provide early insight into blood sugar balance, cardiovascular strain, cognitive changes, hormone-related symptoms, weight challenges, and energy crashes. Most importantly, you leave with clear, actionable next steps that feel realistic and achievable.
Another important test I offer is vitamin D. A quick, simple test that can give valuable insight into your immune health, mood, energy levels, bone strength, and overall wellbeing, with results available straight away.
If you’re ready to take control of your wellness journey, with support that’s thoughtful, evidence-informed, and centred around you, I look forward to welcoming you into my calm, relaxing clinic space in Harrogate.

Immediate Results
Your appointment includes a simple finger-prick blood sample, with results viewed live together during your visit. You’re not sent away to wait or left trying to interpret a report on your own. I talk you through what we’re seeing in real time, linking your screening results with your live blood findings so everything feels clear, personal, and relevant to you.
No long waits.
No confusing jargon.
No vague “we’ll be in touch.”
Just clear, meaningful insight and practical next steps, so you leave feeling informed, reassured, and supported.
Who I work with
I support people who want a clearer picture of their health, and the confidence to maintain it over time.
This includes those who:
Feel something isn’t quite right and want help getting to the root of ongoing symptoms
Are curious about blood sugar balance, energy levels, sleep, mood, or hormonal health
Prefer natural, gentle support and want reassurance it’s safe alongside any medicines they’re taking
Simply want a health check-in, not because something is “wrong”, but because prevention matters
Whether you have a specific concern or just want to stay on track, we can create an approach that feels right for you. Some people come once for a baseline and clarity. Others choose regular follow-ups for ongoing support.
There’s no pressure and no judgement, just options, guidance, and support tailored to you.

Results that fit with your medicines
Because I am a registered pharmacist, I consider how your prescriptions and over-the-counter products might affect your symptoms and your test results. I also check for interactions before making any recommendations.
Natural does not always mean suitable for everyone. Careful matching matters, and I take that seriously.
If you are under GP or specialist care, I can write a clear summary for you to share with your clinician.
Vitamin D testing: quick, clear, actionable
Low vitamin D is common in the UK. In clinic, your level is checked with a quick test, and you get your result in about 15 minutes.
I explain what your number means and suggest an appropriate dose with K2 where suitable. Don’t guess your dose, you could be underdosing or overdosing on vitamin D.
I keep a stock of high-quality vitamin D and K2, which you can purchase on the day of your appointment if you wish.
Insulin resistance testing: early warning, practical steps
Insulin resistance can start quietly. Testing helps you catch patterns early and guide small changes that protect long-term health.
We discuss what the result suggests and what to do next, from nutrition and movement to sleep and stress support. Nothing extreme, just consistent habits that work for real life.
It’s important to test for insulin resistance, it can give early insight into blood sugar balance, energy levels, hormone health, and overall wellbeing, helping you take action before issues arise.
