What Motherlanders Are Saying

My reiki session with Sarah was so relaxing and I had some colour reactions which were fascinating. I came away from the treatment feeling calm but also energised. Sarah was relaxed yet professional and I wouldn’t hesitate using her again for future reiki treatments.

Clare, reiki client

“Sarah’s a brilliant coach, so helpful & enthusiastic. Really builds you up and gives you the courage to live the life you want. I’m a very busy working single mum, and she’s brilliant at coming up with tips to work around my life, helping me to make better choices. Sarah has helped me to understand that you can’t care for others without caring for yourself. She’s so warm and friendly, you can’t fail to feel supported and that she’s got your back.”

Louise, coaching client

“Sarah was so brilliant to work with! She gave me sensible guidance around improving both my physical and mental health that fitted with my life rather than trying a one size fits all approach. She has a calm and practical attitude mixed with natural empathy. Sarah is a breath of fresh air and she provides a non-judgemental space for you to self develop (but with her fab expertise on hand!) I thoroughly recommend working with Sarah.”
