A panel event hosted by Onetrack Club at Orchard Place 

Led by Times & Grazia journalist Polly Vernon, joined by guests Laura Naylor Onetrack co-founder, Nieve Tierney resident Reiki Master at Soho House, and Dora Atim, Running Coach for Nike UK.

What did we discover? That each person's definition of fitness is different. Some of us use it to feel more powerful, channel energy, provide safe spaces for marginalised communities, or just as an escape to clear our minds, enter a void, and be present for ourselves. It's important to make a longer-term investment in ourselves instead of just focusing on short-term goals.

Sharing experiences, paying attention to others, and becoming knowledgeable about the obstacles to health, wellness, and fitness are all crucial.

In this episode of Choosing a Life of Wellness by Orchard Place, we are joined by Founder of Tea & Tonic, Sarah Strang.

Starting her career in luxury marketing, Sarah found herself working long hours in a high-paced life. After discovering adaptogen super herbs to support this lifestyle, Sarah’s eyes were opened as she realised this was the key to integrating a better approach to de-stress. The combination of Sarah's passion for holistic therapy and natural skincare and her new discovery of adaptogen super herbs led to the creation of Tea & Tonic. 

Sarah is passionate about taking a joyful approach to wellness, recognising that managing life’s various stresses is at the heart of how we look and feel. She believes that to improve our wellness and achieve our brightest skin and self, we need to re-balance and strengthen our resilience to everyday stress.
