Hear from Sarah

I love seeing my clients change over time. Participating in this profound healing work continually leaves me full of hope for the future. It amazes me how much growth people are capable of, even when someone starts off in a very dark place my years of experience have taught me to never give up hope for deep and lasting change to occur.

I think my clients appreciate my calmness and my ability to get to what is underneath the symptoms they are struggling with. I am not scared off by severe symptoms or complicated issues, as long as you are willing to show up and be as real as you can be with me, I am confident we can work well together.

If you and I work together you can expect that I will provide nudges when you need a nudge, and guidance when you need a guide. No matter what, I’m always going to be there alongside you. You can expect that I will meet you where you are, not forcing change before you are ready and also not giving up when you struggle. I know how hard it is to reach out and build trust with someone new. I see it as a privilege and an honor to be let into your life at this difficult time. Let’s get started.
