Testimonials

“A short but impactful practice I didn't know I needed. It created space for me to breathe, nurture myself, and intentionally plan for future times when I'm feeling bad and need help. It led me back to my vision for how I want to experience my life and made me outline how I can continue to move toward that space. Thank you, Sarah!! (Don't skip the art parts - I'm telling you, they're revelatory.)”
