Storytelling for the Soul is my life's work...
Compassionate and understanding
“You created, through your compassion and understanding, a safe platform for me to express myself which allowed me to find deeper healing, something that I had not anticipated would be an outcome of this writing journey. It has been such a pleasure working with you. I am now proud of "my story" and your encouragement, validation and support...” - Bharati
Profound
“I highly recommend Sarah for all her wisdom and knowledge around writing through trauma and any situation that arises. I recently had the opportunity to explore storytelling with Sarah. It was profound and is a very useful tool. Thank you once again Sarah.” - Leanne
Blown away is an understatement
“I've only had one session so far with Sarah and I chose to work on my sugar addiction with her. To say I'm blown away is an understatement. One session and a very intense body response afterwards and the need for sugar has already halved this week. I can't wait to keep digging deep on this one.” - Kathie
Expressive writing from a trauma-informed perspective makes all the difference
“More people need to learn more about your work; how you teach expressive writing from a trauma-informed perspective makes all the difference - definitely don't want to leave people in a triggered state when doing expressive writing; which differentiates you from other teachers of expressive writing.” Chichi
Validated my trauma
“I found great value in the one hour class on writing through trauma with Sarah and I hope I can continue to work with her. As a peer worker myself, I [found] the way Sarah addressed and validated my trauma very helpful and hopeful.” - Kristy
I walked away feeling lighter and clearer
“Whilst I already love writing, having time with Sarah has opened my eyes to how important the body/soul connection really is. Her gentle and quiet way of guiding me through her process made it feel easier for me to let go and dive into what I needed to feel and hear. I walked away feeling lighter and clearer on where I might need to do more work, and what my body really wants me to know. Thanks Sarah for a wonderful session!” - Birgit
A wonderful facilitator
“Sarah is a wonderful facilitator and helps you to activate
your body to bring you messages to understand and process.”
- Lisa
One of the most productive things I've ever done
“Working with Sarah was one of the most productive things I’ve ever done even though I believed I didn’t have time for writing. Through her guidance, Sarah showed me how to use writing to see what I really needed to in my life. This new-found awareness means I can now make decisions that are moving me closer to my short and long-term goals.”
- Mia
Hi, I'm Sarah Cannata, creator of Storytelling for the Soul. I'm not a doctor, therapist or any other healthcare provider. I'm someone with lived experience who has used embodied writing and other creative techniques to improve my life and well-being.
I've engaged in healing, study, exploration and personal development work. My lived experience allows me to guide you through an approach where you can reach a place where you are capable of feeling acceptance, self-love, self-awareness and self-trust.
I create a space where all parts of you are welcome (even the parts you pretend aren't there). My approach is trauma-informed and combines writing, embodied processing (a body-based approach to working with trauma), mindfulness and other techniques that allow you to explore what may be holding you back from living the life of your dreams.
