I am a nurturer. My name is Sarah. I do what I am guided to: encouraging others toward feeling into and living their best life. All through yoga, reiki, breath-work, therapeutic body work, life-situation coaching and pregnancy/labor/delivery/postpartum/lactation services. Family history guided me on this path. My maternal grandmother and her sister were healers through their hands. Compassionate and gentle, shepherds to those around them. My paternal grandmother birthed her children, all 11, in the hills of KY with only a midwife by her side. She was a strong willed woman, who listened to her body and followed its guidance. Growing with such influences I learned young how to listen, really listen to the world around me and the world within me. How important caring for our bodies is. A value system around nurturing through the food we eat, the way we move, the way we love the land and environment around us; within us. These values were challenged when I moved to Manhattan; took years to adjust. Through mentors and teachers, books and speakers, and lots of patience with the fast-paced urban setting, learning who Sarah is while growing and developing into the person and practitioner I am today. I do my best to remain inspired and believe that when we are ourselves inspired, we inspire others. Ripple effect. One of my prime inspirations is being alongside another as they learn more about themselves and become healthier; influencing their own personal growth and happiness. Then others in their life are affected. Ripple effect.
