After a career in publishing, Sallie-Anne retrained as a Pilates teacher when her children started school. She now teaches several classes a week in local Berkshire villages. In addition to her initial training, she has completed several specialist courses.

More recently, she started Healthy Habits Mum to help families eat more veg every day. After 34 years as a non-meat eater herself, plants are the main event of each meal. She runs small cooking groups at her home, or in her clients' homes where she teaches them and their friends or family to cook new meals together.
