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
I appreciate how you've shown anyone can write if they have prompts
“As a former teacher, I know that writing can be tedious for some people. I appreciate how you've shown anyone can write if they have prompts. And that it can be a tool that helps with self-awareness and personal growth.”
- Midlife Madness Summit attendee
Writing can be overwhelming but you shared so many helpful tips
“Thank you Sarah for such an amazingly helpful presentation! Writing can be overwhelming but you shared so many helpful tips and prompts that felt doable and were inspiring.”
- Midlife Madness Summit attendee
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
Her prompts are the perfect guidance to get you started
“Sitting down and just writing is scary to me because I have no idea what to write about. Sarah is encouraging and allowed me to realise that there is no right or wrong way to write, especially when using writing as a self-care tool. Her prompts are the perfect guidance to get you started.”
- Selena
Hi, I'm Sarah Cannata, creator of Storytelling for the Soul. I'm not a doctor, therapist or any other health professional. I'm someone who has used embodied writing and other body-based techniques to improve my life.
I've engaged in healing, study, exploration and personal development work. My approach uses writing as a well-being tool together with other body-based approaches.
I create a safe space for you where you are seen and heard. 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 creating the life of your dreams.
