Say yes to your boundaries, HEALING, and WHOLENESS
“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.”
Who do I work with? Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Anti-Oppression Practitioners, Executive Leaders, HR Professionals, and People committed to culture change. Clients include people who identify as leaders, executive directors, parents, change makers, disrupters, consultants, coaches, artists, and more.
What is the somatic approach? 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 raise awareness of the connections between your body and your mind, and what matters to you and what you’re doing on a daily basis to embody those ideas/principles. I will partner with you to explore common workplace challenges in communication, trust-building, boundaries, advocacy of self/others, and well-being through a body-centered, culturally grounded, and trauma-informed approach to your own healing and leadership.
What will we do? Sessions are approximately 50 minutes taking place virtually or in-person. Sessions include goal setting, accountability, and engaging in 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, I partner with people to encourage living and leading with our full selves, including parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to silence, hide, and override.
What do I offer?
In our sessions, I will provide you with education on Conditioned Tendencies, which is an automatic way that you respond in times of stress and overwhelm.
I will help you build somatic awareness, which means an increased capacity to pay attention to your body’s cues as you move through your workday, so you develop more awareness of exactly what is happening as a challenging situation or relationship dynamic occurs.
I will help you create a somatic declaration about what matters to you and why, such that you have a new set of personal commitments that will guide you in every internal and external challenge at work.
Guidance to continue deepening your intercultural awareness with a fresh and effective approach for recognizing cultural differences and commonalities, and how to work with them ever more skillfully.
What is the Financial Commitment?
I am committed to setting fair and equitable pricing for both client(s) and practitioner. Sliding scale is available on all services unless otherwise noted.
You know your situation best. If you want to discuss which rate may make sense for you, set up a payment plan, or want a pay-as-you-can option, please let me know.
Investment for a 12 Session Package (Please inquire about pay-as-you go options):
$3960 = Corporate/Larger Nonprofit Rate = the “higher” end of the scale for people/orgs with larger budgets and who easily meet their financial needs and wants. By paying at this rate, it supports my ability to offer sliding scale options.
$1800 = Smaller Nonprofit/Regular Rate - This is the full fee or true cost of the service and is for those who still easily meet their needs and likely can attain some, if not most, wants.
$600 = Community Accessible Rate = This rate aims to find balance between community accessibility and practitioner sustainability. Intended for people/orgs inconsistently able to meet your needs.
