About Sarah
I am passionate about the teaching and healing work I do, assisting people to live more fulfilling lives from practicing stillness, developing greater compassion and allowing self-discovery. I teach people how to connect with greater calm, presence, and trust in themselves and in the Universe. Access the healing that comes from within…Everything begins within.
Sarah's Story
After years of doing healing work with Shiatsu Massage, Acupuncture and Reiki, I began to feel that I needed to go deeper to help people make lasting change. I witnessed people suffering from stress and emotional states that often disabled their healing process, and having suffered from anxiety and depression myself, I came to feel there had to be more. I knew I had to DO more...and so I went within. And in my first month of committing to meditation as the pathway to my own well-being...I felt a brilliant light go on! THIS is what we need to bring healing to our world!
In 2015 I completed the Masters of Wisdom Meditation Teacher Training program with internationally known meditation and stress management teacher, davidji. I have such intense gratitude for my amazing teacher, who guides us all gently to find our wisdom within. This training was a life changing experience! Meditation was the missing link that brought me deep inner calm, greater confidence, creativity, lower blood pressure, better sleep and improved vitality. Every day meditation helps me to connect more deeply, make positive meaning, find self-acceptance, and bring healing both to myself and others. Upon completing my Advanced Deeper Still Teacher Training with davidji in the fall of 2018, I am even more dedicated to the wondrous effects that meditation brings to my life, and the lives of those that I teach.
I have Metis heritage (Indigenous Canadian), and have always felt a deep connection to the medicine of our earth and the natural elements. I was attracted to seek out healing experiences and teachings from several practitioners who shared healing work from a shaman’s perspective. I have developed a deep connection to the wonders of the medicines of the Shamans of the Andes and Amazon that empower us to make our own realizations, and to find our innate healing within a context of our relationship to the natural world.
I have been blessed to have a long and successful massage therapy practice, and am still so grateful to be able to provide care after all of these years. People often become healing practitioners because they began by seeking care for themselves, as I did when I first encountered Shiatsu in Japan almost 30 years ago…every thing that I have done, every modality I have learned, and everything that I do my best to share…has come from a true desire to help others, with good intent, to bring healing to the world around me, and hopefully leave it better than I found it, as the indigenous people often say, ‘to walk in a good way’.
