Sarah Laurie founded health start-up, Take a Breath, in 2019 after pressing pause on a 15 year career as an author and speaker in the wellness industry. Disillusioned by poor health statistics, she began a mission to better understand anxiety - the world's fastest growing mental health issue.
After four years spent working with scientists, cell biologists, neuroscientists and industry experts from around the world, a single proposition emerged - our breathing has changed. And it's caused a systemic anxiety epidemic, globally.
As a result, Sarah works actively toward the betterment of society as a whole by teaching the science of breathing, the human brain and health. She spearheaded the community initiative - Take a Breath Week. Her company Take a Breath provides educational tools for schools, as well as being a market leader in the Workplace Wellbeing sector.
