More About Sara Corckran
I believe in living a life where our body, thoughts and words are in alignment. To do that we need take time to relearn what our body feels like at ease and peace. It is from this place that we can be the most impactful, productive, inspired and creative. Part of this process is remembering our true nature and our worthiness. I help my clients to feel seen and heard exactly as they are. This validation allows them the space to process and make sense of their experience and move forward in finding purpose, growth and fulfillment. My gift is in helping people see new perspectives and the opportunity in their situation.
