Sally Carmichael is 37 years old. She is the body expert at dream on. Sally designs and delivers our body workshops, and one on one sessions. Having a fit and healthy body builds confidence and stamina.
Sally works with you to make sure you have a tailored route to fitness. Having trained in body and movement her whole career, Sally brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with women.
Sally lives in Surrey where her studio is based. Prior to this she has lived and worked in Hampshire, Canada and central London.
As a child she grew up in Anglesey and spent many weekends with her parents sailing and enjoying time on their boat. Sally has always loved dance and movement. Like many she went to ballet lessons as a young child. From here she became curious in how the body moved. As she grew up and developed her knowledge and awareness, she decided at 18 to complete a one year foundation course in dance.
She found her passion early in life.
Her studies earned her a place at a well known body and arts school Laban and here she completed her basic studies in contemporary performing arts.
Whilst completing this course Sally knew that she wanted to open up her learning across a wide range of body disciplines because she could clearly see and understand that every body and every person was different – no one discipline was necessarily right, nor fitted all.
So, in the years that followed she continued with her training. She developed herself as a physical trainer, movement coach and practitioner of therapeutic bodywork.
As her knowledge widened so did the range of clients she worked with. Sally was learning from client feedback that she was able to give them a truly personal body condition analysis. She could work with them to create their own personal body development plan aimed at achieving their individual goals.
As one client describes, “when I spend time with her I know I am going to get a one to one all about my body. I know abit but when I try to identify for myself how to achieve the best technique and performance for my body I can’t. We review and work on the right approach for me in a very comfortable way”. There aren’t very many Sally’s about with her diverse knowledge. Sally believes in passing her knowledge on, mentoring in one to one sessions so people gradually gain skills. She does want people to take responsibility and she will encourage and mentor them.
Sally’s knowledge of the body and condition can be applied in both professional and personal situations from breathing techniques through to full body workouts. Her warm nature and strong experience and knowledge delivers a very personal and effective experience.
One of Sally’s clients a few years ago was Karen Ellis. When Karen was talking to Bridget about how Sally helped her, they realised that this was something important to offer as part of dream on. Karen’s posture, health and fitness levels have improved with Sally’s guidance. So, they all met together and Sally was enthused about dream on’s purpose. She was keen to get involved.
Today Sally runs her own body studio in Surrey. She is very pleased to be working with dream on and when not teaching and working with clients she can be found rock climbing, dancing argentine tango, and performing aerial arts.
