Sarah Meharg qualified as an Occupational Therapist in 2002 and started her career working on surgery and rehabilitation wards in hospital. She then held clinical positions within learning disability teams and gained a postgraduate certificate in dementia studies. At this time she experienced a bereavement and despite having never been interested in exercise she started to explore how to use physical activity to overcome depression.
She developed a love of Olympic style weightlifting, hiking and going to the gym.
​
Within her role as lead occupational therapist at a mental health hospital she set up a gym and physical activity program.
​
Between 2013 and 2019 she was a wellbeing advisor and mental health coordinator at Warwick University.
​
She is actively involved with a number of charities and between 2013 and 2019 was the treasurer and committee member for the national charity the University Mental Health Advisors Network.
​
In 2018 she created MoodLifter as she was passionate about the benefits of exercise so combined her two expertise in mental health/ wellbeing and personal training.
