"I reached out to Sarah during my first pregnancy, when I was having fear of childbirth. We had a 90-minute session that incorporated heart centered hypnosis, where I was able to meaningfully explore a traumatic medical incident from my childhood. Sarah was gentle, encouraging and empathetic. Our session was unlike anything I'd ever experienced, and I felt comfortable to push myself and deeply examine the fears that have been building over the years. It was an emotional and impactful session, and I felt not only a connection to Sarah (even through Zoom), but I also felt like I confronted my fears and emerged with a strong grip on how to deal with them. I think about the experience often, and I tapped into some of her wisdom during childbirth, which brought me great comfort. I got so much from our conversation, and I would welcome a chance to work with her again."

Hi friend!

In 2022, I married my soul mate, and in December, our daughter arrived. My world is at once deeper, richer, more textured, and narrower as I learn to focus on the needs of my family without losing myself along the way.

The work of pre and perinatal psychology has helped my husband and me to orient our daughter, to welcome her, to hold her in ways I never knew possible. This work has also allowed me to touch a deep need to hold, love, support, and nurture the “new” momma that emerges in each one of us when our babes are born. I don’t feel like we do a good enough job in our society supporting and witnessing this new ferocious archetype.

My heart is even more tender for mommas—for the fires of transformation that swallow us up, for the grief that liters itself at our feet like a shaken puzzle, for the tender ways our hearts feel as if they may burst, for the exhaustion that makes us weary to the bones, for the love that indescribably alters us.

In this new season, I am busily loving up on our girl to make sure that she feels:

seen
welcomed
heard
supported
wanted
loved

…and a myriad of other invitations that help to orient her nervous system. Momma, these invitations are for you as well.

As I embrace this new season of life, I am scaling back my schedule to experience this shift. I will still support a handful of existing clients and several new ones via Zoom for either 60- or 90-minute sessions. This will help me to tend to the light of this season as I explore new ways of being in the world.

I am grateful for your companionship on this journey and encourage you to be present to yourself in your current season.

Sending love and compassion for your unique journey,

Love,

Sarah
