My goal is to create a safe and supportive space for women 35+ experiencing life differently—whether by choice or circumstance—so they feel seen, understood and connected. I help these women to embrace their unique paths with confidence and clarity.

About Sarah

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.

What people say about my work


"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'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

"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 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."

"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!"

“Using prompts is new to me and it's opened up a whole new way to write from my own experiences and starting to include the body in the process... One major shift for me was that I wasn't expecting the prompts and writing to bypass my mind so much and be so revealing, reaching a depth I wasn't expecting. I love that I have discovered this as I perceived writing as a purely conscious cognitive process. I am finding more and more love for writing.”

"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."

“In less than a year, the value of Sarah's journaling and the learning of embodied processing has not only lifted me from full-body pain but has also cleared me from multiple mental struggles. Following Sarah's guided writing prompts and supportive encouragement, infused with embodied processing, is a must for compassionate, effective self-care.
What a great combination.”
