Sarah's body-based approach to therapy creates a connection to my thoughts and emotions in such a way that the therapy moves me towards not only be able to think differently but to feel in my body that I am thinking, and emoting, differently. The positive changes found through the process she offers are not only in my mental and emotional state - they are in my ability to breathe and be upright and open more fully in my body
