Our Story…
Creating space to pause, breathe, and reconnect
In a world that often asks us to do more, move faster, and stay constantly connected, finding moments of stillness can feel increasingly rare.
Pause to Unwind was created to offer those moments.
Through sound baths, yoga, guided meditation, and restorative wellness experiences, our intention is simple: to create spaces where people can step away from the demands of everyday life, slow down, and reconnect with themselves.
Whether you're attending a community sound bath, gathering with friends, planning a retreat, or bringing wellness into the workplace, each experience is thoughtfully designed to help you feel grounded, present, and renewed.
Meet the Founder
Hi, I'm Sarah.
I am a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-500) with Yoga Alliance, a Certified Yin and Restorative Yoga Teacher, Certified Sound Practitioner, and hold a BSc in Psychology.
My own yoga journey began as a way to find balance amidst the busyness of life. What started as a personal practice gradually became a deeper exploration of mindfulness, movement, rest, and the profound impact they can have on our overall wellbeing.
Over the years, I have trained in yoga, restorative practices, and sound healing, discovering that some of the most meaningful moments often come not from doing more, but from creating space to simply be.
That belief became the foundation of Pause to Unwind.
Today, I guide sound baths, yoga classes, meditation practices, and wellness experiences throughout the Bay Area, helping individuals and groups find moments of calm, connection, and restoration. My approach is welcoming, accessible, and grounded in the belief that wellbeing should feel supportive rather than intimidating.
Born in the UK, I moved to the United States in 2013. Before launching Pause to Unwind, teaching yoga, and guiding sound baths, I spent many years as a senior marketing executive and business leader, serving at board level for a FTSE-listed company in the UK and later running businesses in both the UK and the US.
This experience gave me firsthand insight into the demands of modern life and the importance of creating opportunities to pause, recharge, and reconnect. It also shaped my passion for bringing meaningful wellness experiences not only to individuals, but also to workplaces, teams, and communities.
At Pause to Unwind, we believe that rest is not something you need to earn.
Taking time to slow down isn't a luxury—it's an essential part of caring for ourselves and showing up fully in our lives.
Our experiences are designed to create opportunities to:
Slow down and breathe
Quiet the mind
Release tension and stress
Reconnect with the body
Cultivate presence and self-awareness
Create space for rest and renewal
No previous experience is required—just a willingness to pause.

“Sarah created such a safe, peaceful environment, and it was clear how much care she put into every aspect of the session. I would wholeheartedly recommend her sound bath to anyone looking for an hour to truly unwind, reset, and experience deep relaxation.”
