Beauty and Spa
Sarah Clark
There She Glows Beauty & Exhale
Sarah is the founder of Exhale Yamba, a space born from a long-held dream — to offer affordable wellness, a place to step away from the noise of everyday life, slow down, and return to themselves.
A qualified beauty therapist with over 20 years of experience, Sarah earned her Diploma of Beauty Therapy from the NSW School of Natural Medicine. Known for her meticulous attention to detail, she became a sought-after Lash & Brow specialist in the Northern Rivers region, managing a well-known Yamba beauty salon for 15 years. During this time she welcomed her two sons, running her business from home while raising her young family. She always dreamed of more, and Exhale grew from that dream — a desire to create a space for community.
In 2023, Sarah opened Exhale Yamba Bathhouse & Spa, bringing together everything she'd learned into one space — offering beauty services and bathhouse experiences. Over time, her work has evolved beyond the physical, growing into a deeper devotion to whole-person wellbeing — nurturing not just how people look, but how they feel, breathe, and live. This calling has led her into the next chapter of her journey as a breathwork facilitator, a practice that helps people release tension, regulate the nervous system, quiet the mind, and reconnect with their inner selves.
Whether you come for a treatment, a bathhouse session, or a breathwork experience, Sarah's intention remains the same: to hold space where every guest feels truly seen and supported, and leaves feeling lighter, calmer, and more whole than when they arrived. Her dedication to providing authentic and calming experiences ensures exceptional care for every client, making her a trusted figure in the industry.

With experience in both remedial and relaxation massage, she takes the time to understand each client's individual needs, tailoring every treatment specifically to them — Florence has a real talent for pinpointing exactly where you're holding tension, working intuitively to target those sore spots and release built-up stress from the body.
Her attentive, personalised approach means no two treatments are ever quite the same — each one is shaped around what your body needs at the time.
For Florence, massage is about more than relieving aches and pains — it's about creating a space to slow down, reconnect, and leave feeling lighter and restored.
