The first program of its kind to heal symptoms, yes, but with the focus firmly on creating a more embodied life. Through live somatic practice and an immense core curriculum, you’ll feel safe to be authentic, messy, mistake ridden, confused, broken open in grief, and still held and safe. Turning your healing from something you need to figure out or fix into a deeply spiritual reconnection with your innermost self. Why? To give yourself the permission to believe in your healing capabilities. To rewild and reparent the parts of you still sitting on the sidelines of life. To get to the deep underbelly of the wounding and patterns you’re playing out in your life, FREEING yourself from all that goddamn guilt and shame. Hear your symptoms, embody their wisdom, free your body.
Shiiiit, this is brave work.

"Sarah has helped me transform my entire life, from managing the symptoms to healing them.
I have healed insomnia, restless leg syndrome, chronic fatigue, clinical depression, and anxiety within 4 months of working with Sarah. I now understand why the symptoms are present, how I manifested them and what to learn from them in order to heal."
"Before joining Embodied Symptom Wisdom, I was dealing with Chronic pain, Chronic fatigue, I had no clarity on purpose and feeling completely stuck.
Since working with Sarah inside ESW, I’m moving more, the pain has decreased, I have a morning routine that I absolutely LOVE, I've started studying yoga and learning about myself and my body which is resulting in me feeling empowered, I have made changes in my job and my life that feel manageable and aligned.

As we plod along the healing journey, we might find that we...
Switch between independent self-healer pushing through life, focused on light, love and high vibrations… with getting up instantly drained, tired, debilitated by symptoms & burdened by dreary life obligations and caretaking others
Revolve our life around therapies, strict protocols and short-cuts that only relieve symptoms temporarily, until they come back even louder
Carry so much inner turmoil believing our body is against us, punishing us, attacking us, how can we trust a body that seems to need so much fixing?
Are so bored of a baseline of bed & “rest”, and either hiding how we truly feel or walking around every day completely frustrated, confused, victimized, powerless, overwhelmed, and even feeling abandoned, lonely and fearful
Have a huge lack of attunement with ourselves, our body, and another person, in the way that we deeply need (and have needed since childhood).
Get stuck in cycles of self-abandonment, good-girling, fawning (or battling our way through life), codependency, or total isolation… so caught up in how others perceive us we tie our self-worth to how much we can “do”... what happens when our body no longer allows us to “do”?
Are unsure what it really means to “do the work”, maybe we’ve become so disconnected from our emotional body all we mostly feel is… numb, and stuck, so we avoid life “out there”, staying at home riddled with symptoms that don’t seem to make any sense
Have some awareness of the mind-body connection, knowing the power of the mind is strong but not knowing what that means, how to not only decode what a symptom means, but actually integrate the body’s messages and embody the healing
Spiral in self-doubt, shame and guilt, over the symptoms, either it’s all of our own fault or it was it something we ate? Did? Did too much of? Not enough of? Do we need to take another test? See a different specialist? Supplement?
it's exhausting.

questions to ask yourself to see if esw is next step:
YES! GET ESW HERE
Do you want to hear what your body is telling you, even in its subtlest ways? How to really listen and how to know what a symptom means so you can take the necessary action before it screams at you?
01
02
Have symptoms been kind of protecting you from independently living and taking up space in the world? And at the same time, has life been pretty much revolving around symptoms and managing them?
03
Are you finding yourself grieving for your old life, but you recognise you don’t want to - and can’t - go back to it, since you want to own your worth, bringing in new dynamics, situations and relationships where you feel safe to use your voice, to express your needs, and no longer feel guilty for (or forcing yourself) to do things that aren’t aligned?
04
Are you looking for a practice playground where you can be vulnerable as fuck, and still be loved for it? Where you can have the parts of you that carry the most shame, met with radical acceptance? Where you get to feel safe in yourself, validated and seen?
05
Are you struggling with “health anxiety”, and want to become fully resourced in trusting your body and feeling totally capable on how to hold yourself and what to realign, if a symptom does come up?
your
questions to ASK YOURSELF TO SEE IF ESW IS NEXT STEP:
Do you yearn for that normal amount of ‘tired’ after tending to yourself, your home, your connections, and being out in the world, no longer resigned to bed for a week after taking up any kind of space?
06
Are you looking for a body of work that doesn’t pressure you with a strict prescription of “do this, do that, in order to heal”? What if the wisdom and knowledge you excavate becomes a part of you, and the healing's just happening in the background?
07
a reminder:
You are the
Goddess
Warrior Queen
Witchy Healer
...that your inner little girl was programmed to forget.
Look, the work involved in healing ourselves out of chronic, is a similar dharma to what our ancestors were burnt at the stake for, what our tribe leaders were massacred for, what our medicine women were robbed of, and thrown in jail, or beheaded, or discarded as hysterical and thrown into mental asylums…
Only now, we aren’t literally killed or carted off anymore..
On the other hand, we now allow ourselves to become so invisible, we pretzel our shape and our expression into what we think or hope is acceptable, we reject ourselves first just in case she is too much, not enough, misunderstood, makes someone mad, makes someone uncomfortable, fails at life, with her dreams crushed, not daring to be so bold as to say “I can and will heal myself” just in case we’re wrong and end up back home with our tail between our legs, so we stay much longer than we should, at home, in partnerships, in jobs we hate, and we dry dry dry dry up, every inch of our radiant, bubbling womanself fades away and we experience a kind of soul famine, where every day is a day to tolerate. And in it’s eerie predictability, the suffering in which we endure becomes a life sentence. The saddest part is that we’re sitting in the jail, holding the key, and can walk out any time.
Are you willing to air out the self-destructing beliefsets, the narrow world views, and other people’s suffering that little you soaked up like a sponge, and liberate yourself into the fullness of your being?
YES! GET ESW HERE

the
Six Bi-Weekly 2-Hour Group Practice Calls
Reinstate a felt sense of internal safety within your body and gain life-altering tools for reparenting all of you during our six bi-weekly group practice calls.
Each call will be filled with practices, teachings, assignments, embodiment modalities and radical accountability. These calls are adaptable to where you’re at right now and will shapeshift to meet the energetics of the group.
ESW: Self-Study Comprehensive Curriculum
Sarah’s signature 3-Pillar Process is the step-by-step framework to hear your symptoms and free your body, alchemised into an easy to follow, easy to implement, series of 200+ teachings that make up the backbone of the program.
With a combination of audio lessons, video trainings, and downloadable workbooks, if I may (and I will) be so bold as to announce this the most comprehensive training on symptom wisdom and the bodymind that exists.
A Private Group (Council) - No Social Media
Got a question or a breakthrough as you work your way through the curriculum? Something huge shifting that you want to seek council on? The Student Council is your home for ongoing communication, sharing, support, feedback, and peer-to-peer coaching. You’ll get ongoing access to the Student Council, even after your mastermind cohort ends, so you can take the support of your council with you.
Embodied Wisdom Exercises & Practices
Peel back the conditioning of chronic and begin getting comfortable in aaaaaall the ways that have previously felt locked down or totally not you. You get to be IT ALL. Explore your full range, no longer having to fawn or pretzel or hide or clench yourself to fit into someone else’s world, you are the expression of your world.
Each set of embodied symptom exercises will allow you to trust your body to communicate your deepest needs, and trust yourself to listen and act on them.
A Highly Curated Group of Women
Wow, it is hard to face ourselves sometimes, let alone be faced by other women. The application process to join ESW: The Mastermind is carefully selective as it's an advanced training. The program is not a replacement for initial trauma therapy so there’s a safe sense of resourcefulness and high level self-awareness, accountability and responsibility, even as we integrate the inner child and finish childhood.
Six Bi-Weekly Group Q&A Calls
Dedicated time where Sarah will answer your questions with 1:1 hot seat coaching, offering practical decoding of your symptom or dynamic, channeled transmissions on what within you is yearning to be revealed and reconnected to, and tangible life realignment quests beckoning you to say yes to.
Choose ESW: Self-Study for the core curriculum, choose ESW: The Mastermind for everything else.
Practice Assignments
You will practice being seen, using your voice, and expressing yourself authentically. These bi-weekly assignments due inside of your Student Council will help you integrate the newly-formed neural pathways from our practice and Q&A calls. This allows them to settle within your cellular, physical body and become your new familiar state of being: i.e. embodied healing.

the five sheaths of embodied wisdom
01
Embodied Range
You will de-layer and shed the old shell of who you were in Embodied Symptom Wisdom. This space is designed to free yourself out of chronic, explore the textures and flavors of yourself that were previously rejected and celebrate the fuck out of them. Who you are, who you get to be, the life you get to design, and the range in which you get to express yourself, is going to grow exponentially as you practice being able to hold the unlimited, beautiful, facets of you. It’s along this path that you’ll naturally magnetize soul sisters and soul family who celebrate the fuck out of you as much as you do.
02
Embodied Voice
You will unmute that shy, invisible girl and refine your communication in Embodied Symptom Wisdom. Helping 100’s of women heal chronic symptoms and watching how my own story unfold(s), it’s clear to me that women in chronic states of anything are women cut off from their voice. Women like us were often told we are too opinionated, our needs inconvenient, and our desires sinful. You will heal the part of you who good-girls, who gets passive-aggressive and shut down, who says she’s fine when she isn’t, who replies to “how are you?” in symptom-speak, who erupts into a 30-minute monologue, and who even resorts to symptoms, blame, and manipulation, because there is a part of you who never learnt how to be safe in her voice. You get to make it safe for her now.
03
Embodied Backbone
You will get comfortable taking up space in Embodied Symptom Wisdom. At one point you were a bubbly, twirling little girl, who not only required to be seen, she made herself seen. And then…. She got taught something about that. Being seen, having any kind of right to be here, advocating for oneself, walking forwards, standing up for your values, will all be areas of growth that you’ll savor in. There can be a part of us who fears life on the other side of chronic, and our Bodymind morphs around that. It’s like we get physically smaller and take up less and less space, until we’re invisible altogether. Suffering, being a doormat, and disrespect become almost comfortable in their predictability. But living alive is your birthright, and as your spine straightens and your chest opens and your shoulders confidently relax back, you won’t forget it.
04
Embodied Purpose
You will not have symptoms to use as excuses for why you need to stay in your dull ass job in Embodied Symptom Wisdom. Deeper than getting ducks-in-a-row or doing what is rational or expected, is a part of you who has a very specific purpose and dharma to embody here in this lifetime. It’s so specific, that your soul chose these life circumstances, those parents, and everything else you magnetized, as the training ground to initiate yourself into your purpose. Yes, that also means you get to rewrite everything you learnt about money, too.
05
Embodied Pleasure
You will learn how to give yourself permission to drip with bliss and pleasure in Embodied Symptom Wisdom. A huge area of taboo, hangups, tension and shame, you will tease with your edges, ditch trauma-bonds for counterparts, open up to the idea of a fully-surrendered letting go, cultivating the trust that comes with a woman who knows her self-worth, that you’ll be deeply met, deeply held, and deeply worshiped. (And not because you’re chronically ill or tied to a person who gets off on trying to save, fix or mother you).
FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
Join ESW: Self-Study for instant access to the core curriculum of this work and apply the teachings to your bodymind and symptom wisdom at your own pace. Hundreds of women have alchemised their symptoms through this comprehensive course.
ESW: The Mastermind is an advanced training playground with direct mentorship with Sarah and tailored-to-you group coaching, embodiment practice and a private community to ask anything. While ESW: Self-Study is open year-round, ESW: The Mastermind is a 3-month intensive that runs once or twice a year.
ESW: Self-Study is a body of work that most students navigate over 3-6 months with 3-4 hours of course content and integration each week.
ESW: The Mastermind consists of weekly 2-hour group workshop sessions over a 3 month period.
That said, most of this work is about attuning to your body as a practice in itself. How you are with yourself, how you move on your mat, how you speak to yourself in the mirror, how you express your feelings, ask for what you need, and the life you allow yourself to create are all a part of your embodied healing.
No - not least because it can be so painstakingly slow to even get one in the first place. Women who join ESW bring with them all kinds of bodymind symptoms (acute infections, widespread pain, burnt out fatigue, allergies, pain with sex, a decade of CFS and hundreds of others). The work we’ll be doing together is about repairing the connection with your little inner girl and your intuitive wisdom that shows up in this symptom. You can apply what you’re learning to everything you’re experiencing, the work will mold to what you need.
When joining ESW: The Mastermind, I ask that you treat it and our calls as part of your spiritual practice in showing up in integrity and in parenting yourself so that you dictate where your attention goes, even if (and especially when) you don't feel like it. If you're not prepared to commit to the intensive by participating fully in the group, ESW: Self-Study is a better fit for you.
Both ESW: Self-Study and ESW: The Mastermind include practices throughout the course that will require you to make noise and take up space out there in your life. No passive consumption over here!
By applying, you are making the agreement that “I can’t make noise” or “I can’t be bothered” will never be an excuse. That being said, this is a trauma-attuned space and we will only ever go as fast as the slowest part of you wants to go.
For ESW: The Mastermind, all calls will all be hosted on Zoom. I’d prefer your camera to be on, so that we feel safe and comfortable together, unless there is a short bathroom break or you are directed otherwise.
We no longer promise lifetime access to the ESW program or Mastermind call recordings because I'm not sure I'll still be running these programs in 10, 20, 30 years! What we can say is that you’ll have a VERY long time to access the teachings and there will be ample heads up should we ever decide to close the program. ESW: The Mastermind students retain ongoing access to the ESW Student Council to share, ask questions, and receive support, even after their mastermind cohort ends.
Our work together involves integrating the inner little girl within, womb wisdom and the feminine archetypes/ shadows such as mother, princess, good girl etc, throughout my teachings. While ESW: Self-Study can be adapted for men and non-binary folks, ESW: The Mastermind is exclusively for women.
As this course is not a replacement for initial trauma therapy, it’s important to have the emotional, physical and mental space for what you may excavate throughout this program. If you don't have the space or capacity for ESW or are entirely new to inner work, bodymind philosophy or the metaphysical arts, my intro course The Fundamentals of Symptom Wisdom, will be a better fit for you.
YES, in fact, it’s designed with you in mind. Around a third of ESW students are also practitioners in the healing arts - coaches, artists, healers, teachers, astrologists, yoga teachers, psychotherapists and more.
In the Q&A Coaching calls you will get the opportunity to receive direct 1:1 coaching with Sarah while being seen and supported by the group. I have found this to be the most profound experience for students. Plus, the Embodiment Practice calls are tailored to you. There's a special kind of healing available in high level group work. You can also bring your questions to the Student Council (our private community) to receive direct feedback from me.

No refunds upon entry into the program, and you will have time to review the full terms & conditions at checkout. If you are on a payment plan, you are committed to paying for the program in full.
