Come home to the intelligence of your body so you can rekindle self-trust, grow capacity and experience a renewed sense of possibility.

Trauma informed somatic coaching to help you weather life’s storms

Navigating life’s challenging moments can feel a bit like being lost at sea

When you’re being tossed around by the waves, it’s easy to feel disoriented - grasping for solutions, stuck looping through old patterns or forcing your way forward with gritted teeth.

The desire to be back on solid ground is all-consuming.

But what if the way through doesn’t come from the do more, push harder message that’s been drummed into us from birth?

Maybe navigating challenge isn’t about big sweeping changes or hacking and fixing your way to calmness so you can logic your way forward.

What if it felt like trusting the tides will carry you to shore?
A steady and incremental reconnection to the beat that makes you, you.

We’re made of cycles and rhythms

From the waves of our nervous system to the ebb and flow of our capacity.

Learning to ride the waves isn’t about control and coercion - it’s about building connection and trust with your body as part of the conversation. 

By meeting all parts of yourself with compassion and curiosity, you can stay anchored even when the current pulls - steady and connected to your aliveness as the storm dances outside.

This is what it is to be in a body.

This is the work of turning toward and tending to.

If you’re ready to explore what it means to stay with yourself—through the waves, the stillness, and everything in between—I’d love to walk (or swim) alongside you.

  • Sara's work has been truly life changing. She has supported me to shift my relationship with my body and to learn to live with a life altering injury in a way that feels both sustainable and empowering. I can't recommend her work highly enough.

  • "If there’s one thing our personal and collective healing requires, I’d say it’s expanding our capacity to feel. With the heartbreak of world events, and a huge life transition on the horizon, I knew I’d need help with this! Leaning into pain is like facing a towering wave just before it breaks. The instinct is to turn around and leg-it back to shore. To not look, not feel, not speak up. Through our sessions, Sara swam out into the water with me. In the gentlest of ways, she showed me how to stay in the water, how to be with the intensity, how to ride the wave. Sara expanded my capacity to feel, and in doing so, expanded my humanity."

  • For a long time I felt mired, stuck... something needed to change but no amount of pushing or prodding was working. Coaching with Sara changed everything... but not in the way I expected. It was in fact gentleness, the opposite of pushing, that started to shift things. The whole process felt like being deeply held. We don't get this much in our modern, fast-paced world but I think we all need it. The future now looks filled with possibility and I trust myself to handle what comes.

  • I came to somatic coaching after 3yrs of psychotherapy to try and navigate a confusing time of transition combined with burn out. I wanted to be able to tune into my body and it's wisdom better. I had a lot of unprocessed trauma and was overworking myself to avoid it. Sara really helped me to get clear on how to slow down, scale back and also what I wanted to do going forward. I feel so much better compared to where I was earlier in the year.

Hi, I’m Sara

I’m a Somatic, Organic Intelligence coach™, mother and part-time overthinker and I’m a little bit obsessed with how we create a loving relationship with the many facets of ourselves through the medium of the body.

My coaching work centres around gentleness, ease and enjoyment as the cornerstones to change. An antidote to the ‘harder, faster, more’ message that’s drummed into us from birth and is so hard to ignore.

Somatic coaching supports your healing from the nervous system up by interrupting harmful patterns related to stress and survival physiology. This is a gentle and titrated approach to working with trauma, chronic illness, stress and overwhelm.

While regular talk therapy sessions focus on cognitively understanding and reframing thoughts and narrative, we use dialogue as an opportunity to direct attention towards your body and your unconscious responses.

Together, we practice tracking your body’s unique language and get to know your system’s needs and desires to powerfully attune to all parts of you. Creating change from the body up.

How to work with me

“Every one of us has encountered times when we felt as though we were in the middle of an immense storm. The winds were fierce, and the downpour felt biblical. In these times, we can easily be tossed about, rolling in the waves that crash on the shore. Practice helps us to root us, to anchor our internal presence onto something solid.”
