Sara Schmidt
I absolutely love it that there are so many free resources and offerings around mind-body work these days. I also recognize that developing a practice can be overwhelming at times, especially as we delve deeper into the life work that often accompanies the journey.
Understanding my own personal evolution and exploration of the work, I know how much of a benefit it has been to have a person more experienced to help with the integration as life begins to show up differently. When I first started my own practice, it was nice to have a mentor to help me understand some of the shifts that started happening in my life [and body]. In fact, as my needs continue to evolve, I still occasionally bring in a partner on my adventure as a safe place for my growth.
My background in nursing, along with a passion for holistic and lifestyle medicine, has provided an opportunity to work with various individuals. My clients tend to be individuals with specialized health needs or caregivers and/or in a place of transition due to significant life changes.
Most of my clients have never been in a formal class and often times feel out of place or not connected to the commercialization and glamorization of these teachings here in the west. My message to all of them is clear, “there is no magic wand.” The practices will take us on a journey, there will be challenging parts and, if you show up for the work, you will get through them. This is where a good mentor comes in! The support received and the encouragement provided is an empowering touchstone for your journey.
I’ve personally had a significant transformation with all aspects of my life and continue to do so after nearly ten years of study. I’m a 200 hour registered yoga instructor with specialized training in yin yoga. My background in nursing brings another level of security and compassion for those who choose to work with me.
If you’re considering taking the next steps in your own journey and are interested in learning more about my mentorship offerings- I encourage you to set up a 30-minute complimentary call.
