Testimonials from participants of The Abounding Woman Program
“As someone who has just recently learned how to really take care of herself, this program as a landing zone for my energy every Friday evening felt grounding. I walked away from each module feeling like I had learned so much about myself and the way my emotions are regulated. I also learned so much from other's experiences as well and loved the communal aspect of seeing the same beautiful faces every week! The program made me feel like I was part of something, and it was so empowering to be around other women who were also actively doing something for their mental health. Sarah's leadership, kindness, empathy, and skills as an educator are unmatched. Every aspect of the program flowed as if she's been running it for years.”
“I've only ever done an in-person women's group, and I loved the virtual aspect and being able to connect with like-minded women from all over. I learned that if I commit to a group like this and feel part of something--I'm more prone to show up, be attentive, and learn. The interactive / sharing parts were great as opposed to, for example, a course or lecture that was entirely listening. I loved that this program intertwined both.”
“As someone who is almost 1.5 newly sober and has gone through a lot of life changes, having a routine is really important to me. And I’m used to my weekends being filled with things that aren’t good for me…and this program gave me something every Friday to look forward to at the end of my work week where I knew I was doing something wonderful for myself… The more I learned about my body and my mental health and the science behind the way things work, the more it clicked for me. And it felt so powerful to connect with women from different places all over the world, which I also loved because it gave me just one more piece of community. There was so much information delivered in a way that felt nourishing to get what we needed to hear each week. Each module offered a little something different, whether it was learning and educating myself, relaxing and nourishing my body, feeling supported by community… I think there is always going to be a time when women need community in their lives, even if they don’t know it, and I think Sarah just created this amazing safe space where all of us were able to get together and enjoy being alive at the end of the day. I could not recommend this program more… You are going to get so much out of it, more than you ever could have expected and you’re going to be joined by a group of like-minded women, and it’s impossible not to leave without feeling wonderful about yourself. And that is Sarah’s gift to the world and to women - making them feel loved and seen.”
"Sarah has this magic ability to create and hold space for people. She’s always been that person who listens with compassion and empathy. It was so cool to feel connected with other women who were not even in my time zone … because innately we are all the same and our struggles are the same. By the end of the program, we were all so empowered by each other and Sarah held such an amazing space for us to feel safe. She was able to weave together so much information and make it so we didn’t feel overwhelmed but at the same time people who have worked on themselves a lot still could get information and reminders from what was presented to us. Sarah did a magical job of creating a community in a time when I really needed it. I highly recommend her program."
“I loved that this program was a combo of learning and action (with a variety of tools) and you encouraged us to try the different things on, like the different breathing exercises for example to find the ones that resonate. And the incredible vulnerable shares people shared is a testament to the safety we felt in the space you created.”
“The Abounding Woman program was both an eye and heart opener! Sarah has a magical; yet totally down-to-earth and practical way of leading groups for women of all ages. She embodies warmth, compassion, and empathy infused with her life experience and that of a therapist. The course allowed me to connect with women all over the country who are in different stages/phases of life issues. Sarah created a safe space for us to share, learn, and grow. The course was clearly designed with intention and each week's lesson was carefully planned and taught, yet there was also plenty of wiggle room to adjust for questions and sharing. Sarah has amazing organization and follow through which adds to her credibility and allows women to build trust so easily. There are several take-aways from the program and has given me more tools for coping with life in general. I highly recommend this program.”
