Prior to this, she did her postgraduate professional training as a dance movement psychotherapist at the Laban Centre in London, and studied the Tamalpa Life/Art Process with the Halprins at the Tamalpa Institute, California, where she graduated in movement-based expressive arts therapy.

Sarah Povey has been singing all her life, with church, school, college and community choirs. Fascinated by the healing aspects of the voice, she was attracted to a course developed by Paul Newham and trained as a voice movement therapy practitioner with him, qualifying in 1999. Since then Sarah has been further enhancing her skills and expertise working with older people, both with and without dementia, and with people with learning difficulties. She currently works in care homes across West Sussex and Hampshire.
