As a certified Life Coach and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, Sarah supports people who feel overwhelmed with the demands of life and know that stress is damaging their health, relationships and how they express themselves in the world in all 5 dimensions of who we are: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and relational.

Her work is inspired by her own journey of overcoming. Struck with a debilitating, undiagnosed disease at the age of 20, her life was turned upside down and her bright future dimmed. Learning to embrace challenge as an opportunity, instead of becoming a victim of her circumstance, set her on a course to help others recover their health so they have energy to clarify, activate, pursue and fulfill their purpose.


Quotes from the episode:
'trauma is anything that overwhelms our nervous system...'
'trauma is stored in the body...'

What are the signs and symptoms of trauma?
  • don't try to figure out 'do I have trauma - yes or no?' But notice the affects of overwhelming stress on your nervous system.
  • affects of trauma - lack of purpose, procrastination, self-sabotage, depression and anxiety, perfectionism, imposter syndrome.
  • when we are triggered by trauma, we will go into deep seated patterns to get rid of guilt and shame - and is hell bent on keeping you staying inside your comfort zone.

'What is the story I'm making up about this?'
'Where is the trauma connected to a past occasion when your overwhelm was triggered?'
'Am I truly in danger? Or is this just unfamiliar?'
'When we have had boundary-breech, we find it hard to receive warning messages.'
