Karen Sargent

Qualified from:

Sussex School of Natural Therapies

Past employment:

I originally worked as an osteopath, before side stepping into public health roles for many years. I then decided to return to manual therapy and qualified as a sports massage therapist, I am excited about working with the Six Physio Team!

Working background:

I qualified as a registered osteopath in 1992 and I spent the next few years in practice, working in Sussex and then in Napier, New Zealand. On returning to the UK, I studied for a masters degree in Public Health and I then worked in a variety of health and wellbeing roles.

My main areas of interest include; weight management, physical activity and lifestyle behaviour change. I find it very rewarding to help people make positive changes towards a healthier lifestyle, which can be challenging for anyone to do! I subsequently decided I would like to return to hands-on therapy and so I studied for a combined level 3 & 4 sports massage qualification, to learn new skills. My aim is to help people with a holistic approach, combining massage therapy with my health and wellbeing knowledge and experience.
