Somatic Psychotherapy:

Resolution and Transformation of Trauma

Listening to the Wisdom of our Bodies

Reclaiming Well-being, Vitality and Joy

It takes courage to explore one’s inner world. Therapy can be a supportive process, offering structure and guidance in letting go of cognitive, emotional, or behavioural patterns that are no longer wanted or useful.  Sarah has been working in the field of somatic and trauma therapy for the past twenty years and brings a holistic approach of heart, mind, body, and spirit into the therapeutic work.  

It is only through a caring and and compassionate relationship that we mend and tend the challenges inherent in daily living, especially the overwhelm of traumatic experiences - when we have been left alone with our fear in times of too much, too fast, too soon, and too little. Therefore, a good fit between both client and therapist is essential to the psychological and emotional work that takes place.

It is Sarah's passion and joy to walk alongside clients along this path of authenticity, learning, and growth, offering herself as a witness and guide in doing this sacred work together.

Sarah primarily offers a Somatic Psychotherapy process in working with: 

• anxiety, depression
• injury, accidents, abuse
• fear, isolation, loneliness, grief, 
• self-harm
• self-criticism
• perfectionism and avoidance
• obsessive thoughts and behaviours
• developmental and relational challenges
• post-traumatic, acute and chronic stress
• patterns of pleasing, boundaries
• emotional reactivity
• end of life distress
• terminal illness
• spiritually transformative experiences
• psychedelic integration

Sarah brings an interest in embodiment - paying mindful attention to the wisdom of the body - and a focus of attunement to the energetic and emotional patterns in our bodies as a way to tap into the inner healing intelligence within each of us. 

In Somatic Therapy, change and healing emerge from bottom-up, right-brain ways of knowing. We listen to the truth of our lives as expressed by our bodies. The body is the primary source of information that reveals the implicit and unconscious material in need of our attention.  Through skills of perceiving and attending to sensation, feelings, images, dreams, gestures, and innate rhythms, we tap into the natural wisdom and healing elements present within each individual. As we free up constricted emotional and psychological patterns that are stored in the body, one’s authentic self emerges more fully. This is the healing medicine for our lives.

Sarah gratefully does this work living in the Traditional Unceded territory of the Quw’utsun’ Peoples where she lives with her family and attempts to grow food, and not just for deer!
