Change is possible when we recognise mind, body and soul as integral components of the whole.

Hi, I’m Sarah. I’m a Somatic Psychotherapist, trauma specialist, and movement educator with nearly two decades of experience facilitating personal transformation. I work at the intersection of nervous system science and somatic practice, using modalities like Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and EMDR to help real change take root — not just in the mind, but where it’s really held: in the body.

Our Work Together

Somatic Psychotherapy

Working with the brainstem, nervous system and your capacity for positive neuroplasticity, we explore change at the deepest levels of yourself and what becomes possible from there. My approach draws from Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Soul Centered Psychotherapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Body-Mind Centering®.

Yawning Workshops

Yawning is an ordinary reflex with surprising possibilities. Amplified through touch, movement, sound and attention, it becomes a springboard for whole-body exploration; an invitation to soften, sense, repattern and discover something new. These workshops follow the intelligence of the yawn into gravity, movement, breath, impulse and expression, opening new possibilities for how we inhabit ourselves and meet the world.

Experience Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)

Deep Brain Reorienting works beneath story and emotion, to resolve traumatic and attachment shock. Rather than simply helping us manage symptoms, DBR works with the underlying processes from which they emerged, creating the possibility for change by restoring the brain’s natural communication pathways.

My Approach

My work integrates contemporary trauma-healing modalities, nervous system science, movement, embodiment and relational presence to create the conditions for real, noticeable, change. Unlike therapy that keeps you retelling the same stories, my approach works directly with the body and nervous system, helping you somatically integrate new patterned responses into your lived experience. Again and again, I find that when people are met this way, new possibilities and ways of being naturally unfold.

  • "Sarah holds such deep wisdom of the body and the nervous system. I personally found Sarah’s application of DBR & somatic practices help the body hold experiences and process them in a way CBT never did. After sessions, I felt present, regulated, resilient and that these past experiences had less emotional charge. I felt nurtured and supported throughout the whole process. I have learnt so many valuable tools from Sarah moving forward to support myself during the inevitable ebbs and flow of life. I am incredibly grateful for all of her support."

  • "After visiting other psychologists through mental health plans, I was never satisfied with the treatment I received as a felt like I was a number. Sarah makes you feel valued and important while helping you get in touch whether your inner-being. Sarah has taught me how my previous experiences influence my behaviour and how I view the world. Equipped with this knowledge I have been able to move into a more positive place in my life and I tribute a large portion of this to the work I did with Sarah. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone who is seeking meaning or a better understanding of themselves."

  • "Sarah’s gift and skills as a somatic psychotherapist is so rare. She has the ability to make me feel completely heard, supported, empowered and inspired. My sessions with Sarah have truly changed the way I experience and move about the world. She has helped me tremendously in all aspects of my life and it continues to me a wonderful investment in my life."

  • "Sarah is wonderful to work with and her approach makes you feel relaxed and at ease. I was (pleasantly) surprised that not only did Sarah arm me with the tools I needed to understand and deal with the issues I came with, but her gentle care helped me uncover things I never knew existed. She really is like the best big sister you could have, and always in your corner. Highly recommend her trance work too, very focused and very soothing."
