Dedicated in her study of the body, Sara began her professional career as a dancer, but continued on to receive her personal training certification in 2002 from the American Council on Exercise. Since then she has furthered her study with a certification in perinatal fitness from Healthy Moms Fitness in 2003 and a certification as an Integrated Movement Specialist in 2009.
Early in her career she co-founded Woman Centered Fitness where she designed and taught several fitness classes for women and has since gone on to author 2 chapters on perinatal fitness in Complete Program Design: For the Rest of Us by Evan Osar (www.iihfe.com). In March of 2017, she and Jenice Mattek released their first book What Lies Beneath: the Under-realized Effects of Breast, Abdominal, & Pelvic Surgeries; How They Affect You; & What You Can Do About It.
In 2013, Sara and Jenice Mattek created The Wellness Approach for Women who have a history of breast, chest, abdominal, and/or pelvic surgeries. Together, Sara and Jenice help both women and men move beyond the pain and compensations caused by surgical procedures through a powerful combination of manual therapy and corrective movement patterns. Sara can also be found teaching other health and fitness professionals about functional movement as well as teaching conditioning strategies for dancers. Currently, she sees private clients in the clinic and assists Dr. Osar and Jenice Mattek in teaching the IMS program and other workshops to other professionals whether it’s in the Chicago area or abroad.
Whether teaching group classes or working one-on-one, she helps her clients meet their posture and movement goals through customized fitness techniques. When she’s not doing that, Sara enjoys her time with her husband, 2 boys, and the family’s fur baby.
