Reserve Spot Now"Warm + Welcoming + Knowledgeable."
I attended a breathwork and somatic workshop put on by Sarah and Heidi a few months ago. I have very little experience with either practice, but I am so glad I went. They are both so incredibly warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable and I felt as though they did a good job guiding everyone's different levels of experience. I left feeling supported, more grounded, open and curious to explore more. I highly recommend these two for anyone looking to connect more deeply with themselves!

Sarah explained the process thorough and had my well-being and safety first and foremost. It was an excellent experience, especially by the second session. I felt more at ease withe process and understood how my intention would ultimately create the results.
-Sharon Comer
"Renewed Curiosity."
As I Continue to seek out ways to connect deeper with myself in order heal, Sarah has provided extraordinary encouragement and guidance through breathwork, reiki, intuitive dance, watsu, and other holistic modalities to help me feel grounded and supported in order to explore the deeper layers. As I seek to understand my nervous system and work with the daily patterns of dysregulation and regulation, working with Heidi through somatic therapy and daily movement has provided me with a sacred space to feel my emotions, notice my ability to find balance and most of all...learn how to show up for myself.
-Emily G.
"Natural Guidance."
I attended a holiday resourcing workshop put on by Sarah and Heidi during a time of year that can very difficult for many people. I was nurturing and peaceful evening where we explored different modalities, including somatics and breathwork. Both Sarah and Heidi are truly gifted at creating a supportive and calming space where you feel safe to explore and connect with yourself. They have the kind of presence that draws you in- you naturally want to be guided by their wisdom and knowledge of how these tools can make life easier and more peaceful. I would highly recommend both of them for any healing, growth, guidance, and support what you need on your journey.
