#metoo

Like many women, the #MeToo movement brought about a period of depression and denial as I relived my own traumatic experience that had been repressed for more than a decade. As I watched the testimony of Christine Blasey-Ford against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, I slipped into emotional paralysis and overwhelm. I realized the weight of my emotional baggage and that I needed help moving forward. While I had worked with therapists over the years and dedicated much of my personal life to the practice of yoga, I simply could not find healing, peace, or resolution. I decided to to try a healing session with Sarah. I went in with an open mind and an open heart. I had no idea what would happen but I knew I had nothing to lose. I asked Sarah to take the lead. I shared my story with her and entered our session nervous, embarrassed, apprehensive, and hopeful. After so many years of silence, it was very difficult to share my story aloud. The session was transformational. I emerged with a new sense of lightness and freedom. I had the courage to call my parents and tell them what had happened. I finally felt I could move on without shame or fear. It has been almost two years since our session and I still feel the courage and strength she inspired. Sarah is a healer. I am forever grateful for her role in the story of my life.
