Awwww wow! A huge heart felt THANK YOU for the amazing response to my previous post. Definitely feeling the love, and I truly appreciate the support as I navigate this next chapter. 🙏

Meanwhile, this is a bit exciting! New Zealand Woman’s Weekly reached out a few weeks back, asking if I’d feature in a piece they were putting together to celebrate International Rural Women’s Day on 15th October.

Celebrating rural women from all walks of life, I was interviewed as a rural woman who lives on a dairy farm but also has an off-farm career. A woman who supports her farming husband 100%, milking cows, feeding calves, and getting the farm work done when help is needed; but who openly admits to feeling happier working in an office environment in town.

The article follows my journey from cancer to starting up Strong Woman, to heading back into my dream career job in the travel industry.

Shout out to my proud friends and family who have already bought the magazine, and to my work colleagues who have been super supportive of the article. My kids were the opposite, the girls said to me “Mum, I can’t believe you put a photo of us in there, this is so embarrassing” 
. Teenagers! 🙄😂

The magazine is on sale NOW, grab a copy when you’re next at the supermarket. Sarah xx

Oh hey there! 👋

It’s been a while, 10 months in fact, since I last posted on this page.

Sharing the news that Strong Woman wasn’t going to be a thing anymore was tough, 😭 but I knew it was the right thing to do for myself and my family. After sharing my life on social media for so many years, it was nice to have a break.

I had thought of closing down the Strong Woman socials completely, but with people still messaging asking what I was up to, I started to think about how I could stay in touch. I came to realise that I missed the connections and friendships made through sharing on my pages.

I’m loving working back in the travel industry, my pre-kids career, for House Of Travel. I’m grateful to be part of a supportive team and have been so fortunate to be sent on some incredible trips already (pic from Salzburg, Austria last month). Trying to find a balance between having a career in town, farm life, three kids, travelling, and all of life’s commitments has been a juggle at times. But it’s all part of my new journey


This week you may have seen the Strong Woman name change pop up in your news feed. Going forward, there will be travel inspo, family and farm life, women’s health, and knowing me, a bit of oversharing too LOL. This has never been a sugar-coated social media page, I’ve always tried to keep it real and that’s what I intend to keep doing.

So if you’re keen to follow along as I embrace this next chapter of my life, like this post or send me a message and let me know you’re still there. đŸ„°

I hope you’re all well, hugs and love, Sarah xx

Our Story

Hi everyone! My name is Sarah Martelli. I live with my husband Mathew, 3 young kids Grace 9, Ruby 7 and Charlie 6, our pet pig & chickens on a 380-cow dairy farm in Reporoa, New Zealand. Life is pretty hectic with juggling kids’ activities, running the farm, the household, and between us being on the Kindergarten and School committees. I also volunteer as our school lunch lady, helping to bring healthier, freshly-cooked food into our school each week.

Having experienced what positive healthy changes did for me, I wanted to share that passion for fitness and nutrition and inspire other women to get active, to eat well and to become stronger versions of themselves; to see that moving their body a little bit more each day can bring huge health benefits to themselves and to those around them. I knew I could help change their lives too, so I decided to go back to study! Nearly 3 years ago I qualified as a Personal Trainer, I have since studied further in women’s post natal health & fitness, and I’m currently studying sports nutrition with Precision Nutrition. I run group fitness classes and one on one personal training sessions through Strong Woman Fitness for my local Reporoa community. I also have an online fitness membership site called Stronger You that ladies all around New Zealand can be a part of - check out the details of this on my website www.strongwoman.co.nz

I know that if you are determined and believe in yourself you can achieve your goals with the right support. I am proof that although making big changes in life may be hard, it is possible and I am here to support you! Life is short and none of us know what's around the corner, so don’t put things off and wait until tomorrow. We all have to start somewhere... in a months time you will thank yourself for making the decision to start changing your life. Contact me, I would love to help you become the strongest version of you! Sarah X
