About
I am a trauma sensitive, and Energy Medicine trained yoga instructor. I am also a certified health coach who infuses mindfulness practices into my practice. I believe that individuals can manage their health and well-being more effectively when they engage the mind and body connection. When working with clients, I like to utilize all of my skills synergistically to help people discover ways to access the tools they have within themselves to heal.
I specialize in working with individuals who are suffering from anxiety and stress, and those who have physical limitations and concerns.
My approach to wellness is multi-faceted. Together we will look at many different factors that may contribute to anxiety, dis-ease, and stress. Then we will discuss and practice strategies that may increase your overall sense of well being, such as mindfulness, yogic practices, physical activity, and food choices.
My experience and training affords me the opportunity to offer clients yoga and breathing techniques within our coaching sessions, or separately to groups. The trauma sensitive yoga classes that I teach are meant to resonate with everyday people. They mainly focus on gentle poses and breath work. This practice can help people with anxiety, depression, and those whose lives have been impacted by trauma.
I am also certified in chair yoga. This gentle yoga is practiced in a chair, or using a chair as a prop to help students move through the poses. This is beneficial for people who are new to yoga, concerned about balance issues, or confined to a wheelchair.
I love coaching people to find ways to make impactful choices for improving their overall health and seeing them get excited about the small shifts that may encourage them to continue the great work that they have started. I guide people to make baby steps and be patient with themselves in the process.
**I also offer a 10% discount when clients purchase a 6 session package.**

We hired Sarah to speak to during a company-wide wellness event focused on mindfulness and stress resilience, and I cannot say enough good things about how wonderful she was. She's a naturally engaging speaker, and she effortlessly led our group through some quick meditation practices. We've gotten wonderful feedback from attendees who said they found her tips and recommendations meaningful and accessible. We're already planning to have her back at the end of the year!

I contacted Sarah to help me to inculcate mindfulness in my lifestyle. She was very quick to grasp my objectives and came up with a working plan. I found Sarah to be a patient, involved and caring person. She continues to motivate me to step out of my comfort zone and try new ways of transforming my life. I enjoy our sessions together. Specifically, she has helped me to take care of myself. I strongly recommend her.

Sarah is wonderful. I spent years struggling to grasp the basics of yoga, and I learned them after only a few sessions with her. She explained all the poses in clear and simple language, and she was happy to adapt her approach to my learning style. Not to mention she's just an overall lovely person. I'm honestly not sure what made me feel more relaxed, the yoga stretches or her kind and compassionate presence.
