Mindfulness Basics

Hi, my name is Sarah. I am a naturopathic doctor, reiki master, and intuitive empowerment coach.

Through my naturopathic medicine internship, I began to realize that the body has a lot more to say than what I was conventionally trained to look for. I've found that the body stores many emotions, memories, and unhealed past events which all contribute to physical disease.
During this time I was also on my own healing journey. It was on this journey that I began to realize how powerful awareness is.

I concluded that in gaining awareness, our perspective will shift, and in perspective shifts, our entire lives will shift and we will begin to live life authentically, with meaning.
I hold space for people to explore these unknown aspects within themselves, spaces they otherwise wouldn’t explore. Through this exploration, we come to awarenesses that will ultimately set them free and allow them to heal.

The way I see it is that I’m just a human, supporting another human with an open heart and nonjudgmental mind.

My passion is helping women go from being overwhelmed, irritated, stressed out, controlled by their emotions, and reacting to their environment to being calm, confident, patient, responding to life from a place of power, connected to her purpose & living a life she loves.

I help women become the person they know they want to be but have no idea how to get there.

If you’ve been reading self help books, doing your best to implement what you’re learning but still find there is something missing - working with me may greatly benefit you!

I mix a combination of modalities to create a powerful healing environment including holistic counseling, psychoanalytic & life coaching techniques, inner child healing, guided imagery & meditation, energy work - both reiki & shamanic practices, intuitive tarot & astrology. As well as, naturopathic & homeopathic medicine when warranted.

I received my Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences from Western Michigan University in December of 2013, my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from National University of Health Sciences in April of 2018, my Reiki Master Certification in January of 2019, and I am currently in a Masters of Acupuncture program at National University of Health Sciences, will graduate in December of 2020.

I live in the suburbs of Chicago with one of my best friends and my dog, Reece. I love exploring the nearby forest preserves and occasionally venturing down to Starved Rock and Matthiessen State Parks. Being outside, specifically in a forest, is where I find myself happiest. I also enjoy reading, writing, and talking universal concepts with my friends. They always joke that no conversation with Sarah can happen without it turning existential. Good way to be if you ask me :)
