healing the collective, includes healing ourselves.
“Coaching is a process of partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires people to maximize their personal/professional potential.”

I support people interested in collective care, wellbeing, mutual aid, and liberated communities. This includes every day people of all types—stay-at-home parents to executive leaders, human resources professionals to managers and staff, people in technical roles to therapists, grocery store clerks to small business owners.
This coaching is great if you believe healing the collective includes healing ourselves and you want to deepen your own skills and capabilities to support your own needs, boundaries, capabilities, and limits. In this type of heart-centered coaching, you will connect more deeply with your body, mind, and spirit and develop regular practices to center and ground yourself.

Somatic or soma refers to the body. Along with the thinking, pragmatic, and accountability components of traditional coaching, a somatic approach engages the body along the way. In our work, you’ll be supported to align your entire being– actions, speech, emotions, moods, and physical presence—with an intentional vision and commitment to the future. I will partner with you to explore common workplace (or life) challenges in communication, trust-building, boundaries, advocacy of self/others, and your own well-being.

Possible outcomes:
Increasing your capacity to feel centered in your daily life
Increasing connections between your body, mind, and spirit
Receiving education on your Conditioned Tendencies (CT), which is an automatic way of responding in times of stress and overwhelm
Building somatic awareness, which means an increased capacity to pay attention to your body’s cues as you move through your workday, and with this awareness, increased access to new responses, choices, and outcomes
Creating a somatic declaration about what matters to you and embodying your personal commitments and values daily
Deepening your intercultural awareness capabilities in navigating differences and commonalities with people
Progressing your healing and wellbeing goals

Sessions are 50 minutes taking place virtually or in-person. Sessions include goal setting, accountability, and engaging in embodiment/body-based practices to build self-awareness (i.e., centering, body-scan, making requests/declines, hand-on-chest). Through a blend of embodiment, intercultural awareness, transformative learning, and social justice principles, we will focus on what you need— whether that’s moving through grief, reconnecting with your inner child, increasing joy, processing patterns with overriding needs, or a mix.

One of my favorite moments is when someone has an ah-ha moment of connecting with themselves. Somatic coaching is so nourishing. We live in a world that insists on separating our minds, bodies and spirits, and overriding our needs for safety.
This coaching container lets you lean in softly to the areas you wish for healing and shifting, connect with the ways you hold with stress and tension, validate your experiences, become more of your own compass, and increase your self-accountablility.
In our time together, you’ll develop a habit of centering yourself, and have these beautiful, sweet little moments where you get to feel yourself more and practice allowing for it all (your heart, gut, tension, grief, anger, longings).
-
We need to put our mask on first. I don’t know about you, but the collective vision I have is one of embodied people who love, fight, and support each other — with a dignity for each other, an awareness of our limits and capacity, and a reverance and commitment to healing our historical, and on-going woundings. Remember, healing the collective, includes healing ourselves.

Hand-On-Heart Somatic Practice
“I wanted support to heal trauma and navigate experiences of micro-aggressions in the workplace. These problems wiped me out, I focused a lot on them and was not able to focus on my work, it was difficult to turn off my “work” brain. During coaching, we centered our time around healing practices and allowing space between trauma and healing. My time spent with Sarah is still one that I carry with me even after my transition from my current workspace. I appreciate your heart and soul Sarah.”
“Knowledge is only rumor until it lives in the bones. ”
“You have to take time to heal yourself, to take care of yourself. To do those things that replenish you. And then you are able to give out of the fullness of yourself, not out of your poverty.
I am an expression of the divine, just like a peach is, just like a fish is. I have a right to be this way...I can’t apologize for that, nor can I change it, nor do I want to... We will never have to be other than who we are in order to be successful...We realize that we are as ourselves unlimited and our experiences valid. It is for the rest of the world to recognize this, if they choose.”
