Sarah is an Accredited Breakup and Divorce Coach trained by the Globally renowned Sara Davison, founder of the International Divorce Society.
After leaving a long career in the NHS as a Senior nurse, coaching to support people seemed a natural progression. Having coached many clients through breakup and divorce, it became clear to her that very little specialist support was available for those struggling to navigate the emotional and legal process. This inspired her to further my training, to become a specialist Breakup and Divorce Coach.

Aasia Baig is the founder and owner of Centenary Lounge. She began her journey in the railways in 2001, when she and her husband opened their first retail store in Solihull Station. In 2003 Birmingham Moor St Station reopened after extensive restoration by Chiltern Railways. When Aasia visited the station looking for an empty unit where she could open a quality cafe, she fell in love with the charming quaint station. This encouraged her to learn about the history of the railways and the refreshment rooms and thus the idea of recreating a 1930s Great Western Railway inspired refreshment room was born. Since then she has opened the first class lounge in Worcester, with a new branch opening in Leamington Spa later in 2022 and franchises opening around the country.
Carrie met Aasia to learn more about her extraordinary journey, growing up working in her parent's shop, before launching her first business at just 21 years old.
