Sarah's Journey

The Full Story

Mine is a story of survival—and eventually, of remembering.

For a long time, I thought I had to prove I belonged in this world. I grew up in chaos: homelessness, addiction, absence, fear. Like many children of trauma, I learned to armor myself with perfection, performance, and control. I learned to survive by anticipating what others needed and silencing my own.

And somehow, I made it. I became the first in my family to graduate college, worked my way into the highest levels of political influence, and led a multi-million-dollar national campaign by my mid-twenties. On the outside, I was thriving. On the inside, I was unraveling. My body began to shut down. The stress, the suppression, the disconnect—I couldn’t outrun it anymore.

So I stopped. I quit the job. I gave myself space for the first time in my life. And in that stillness, I met myself.

I wandered, I wept, I forgave. I grieved what I’d carried and began to fall in love with the woman beneath the armor. Slowly, I began to live—not for approval or survival, but for truth. And yet, life continued to invite me deeper.

There was the business I built—and then let go of. The friendship I thought I’d lost—and then found again. The tumor I didn’t see coming—and the surgeries that followed. The physical scars. The spiritual reckoning. The call to step fully into my path as a healer and guide.

Each time I thought I’d made it, I was brought back to the truth: healing is not a destination. It’s a spiral. A return. A homecoming.

But nothing brought me deeper into the heart of trust and presence than becoming a mother.

Pregnancy softened the edges of who I thought I was. Homebirth cracked me open—in awe, in surrender, in power. I learned to trust my body not as something to fix or fight, but as something holy. I learned to trust life. I learned to be present in a way I never had before. To follow the rhythms. To listen deeply. To let things unfold.

Now, I walk with others on the path of remembrance. I offer Reiki, breathwork, and coaching not as tools to “fix,” but as ways to return—to wholeness, to presence, to the sacredness of life itself. I hold space for people in the midst of their unraveling, and in the beauty of their becoming.

This work isn’t about escaping the darkness. It’s about honoring the fullness of what it means to be alive. It’s about remembering what we’ve always known…and I am deeply honored to walk that path with you.
