About Sarah:
Sarah is a coach, bodyworker, and founder of Ready For Radiance LLC. She has learned the art and science of support, empowerment, and growth through her own journey out of an abusive relationship and into purposeful living. The journey has included extensive training as a coach with highly skilled teachers, and profound transformation through bodywork and development as a massage therapist. Sarah primarily works with women who feel stuck in patterns that they know are getting in the way of shining as bright, standing as tall, and living as powerfully as they know deep down they were meant to. Her work supports integration of your unique picture of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual life to deepen your experience of personal radiance.
She can be reached at sarah@readyforradiance.com, or in her free Facebook community, currently just for women, called Women in Wisdom.
