SELENA
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.

About Me
Hi, I’m Sarah, the creator of Storytelling for the Soul. I’m not a doctor or therapist. I’m someone who’s walked this path personally, using journaling and body-based practices to reconnect with myself and gently shift the way I live and feel.
My work is rooted in lived experience, deep exploration, and a commitment to safe, trauma-informed support. I create a nurturing space where you feel seen, heard, and held.
Through writing, embodied processing, mindfulness and somatic techniques, I support women in midlife to gently explore what may be holding them back, so they can reconnect with themselves and begin creating a life that feels calm, meaningful and true to them.

What It's Like to Work with Me
KRISTY
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.
birgit
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!
CHICHI
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.
