Sarah is originally from Austria and had her medical and psychotherapy training (15 years) in Vienna where she worked as a psychiatrist and psychotherapist in the most important treatment centres before she became a renowned addiction specialist in Europe’s biggest addiction treatment centre.

In Zürich, Switzerland, she was Deputy Medical Director of one of the most exclusive private treatment centre in the world, focused on the treatment of psychological and dependency disorders and biomolecular restoration. Afterwards, she set up a Dutch Treatment Centre for the treatment of eating disorders in Altea as Clinical Director. 

Apart from the Cognitive, Schema and Emotion-Focused Therapy, she for example also uses Mindfulness techniques or EMDR. She is trained and certified in modern neuromodulation techniques, Neurofeedback, rTMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) and Actigraphy.

Because of the importance of the complex interactions between the brain and the body (including gut-brain interactions), she has also had extensive training in Switzerland to become a therapist for modern Orthomolecular Medicine. This includes Mitochondrial Medicine, Nutrition- and Anti-Aging-Medicine. 

Being specialised in these up to now separately treated areas (psyche and functional medicine) is the most promising approach to act preventive and cure with lasting effect. This profound view of the person was the main idea for the treatments she is offering now.

Jayne is one of Balance's primary Case Managers. She has over 30 years of continuous sobriety, and in that time, she has helped many individuals suffering from addiction make their journey into recovery. Jayne is also a qualified Recovery Coach, Family Coach, and Certified Interventionist.

From both her own experience with addiction and from her work with recovering addicts, Jayne is a firm believer that there is no such thing as 'one size fits all,' when it comes to mental health and addiction. Instead, Jayne recognizes that addiction functions as a coping mechanism. We use substances to create walls between ourselves and our pain, loneliness, trauma, or fears. At The Balance, Jayne works intimately with the client to help them identify, process, and manage that pain.

In her own words,

"There is a misconception that addicts are weak-willed or do not care about others. From my experience, those struggling with addictions are some of the most determined, motivated, and caring people out there. But, these characteristics can be a double-edged sword. Often, they bring perfectionism, self-worth issues, and a harsh inner critic with them.

Just as any mental health or addiction is complex, so too are the circumstances that led to their suffering. That is why, instead of asking clients to adapt to a preconceived method, we create a treatment program for each unique client. In so doing, our goal is to help you feel seen, understood and to bridge the gap from addiction back to connection."
