Writing for personal development and well-being
Writing is one of the most accessible tools available to us on a 24/7 basis. My approach combines writing and embodied processing techniques to help you explore self-doubt, procrastination and any other challenges you may be facing. If you’re looking to improve your overall well-being, you’re in the right place. Whether you're a seasoned writer or a novice, Storytelling for the Soul can equip you with practical tools that complement your personal growth.
All parts of you are welcome here (even the parts you pretend don't exist)
Learn practical tools you can draw on daily.
Process emotions and feelings from a place of safety.
Write on your own timeline and in a safe environment.
My approach combines writing and embodied processing techniques to create a unique process called Storytelling for the Soul.

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
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
