Sara Believes...

Sara believes that everyone has a fighting chance towards healing, finding a life purpose and true happiness in their lives. The challenge is looking inward and believing that this can be possible despite life challenges, traumas, and past mistakes. As Jon Kabat-Zinn states, “No matter what diagnosis you come with or what’s wrong with you, there is more right with you than wrong with you no matter what is wrong with you.”  Therefore, no matter what one believes is “wrong,” our focus is on discovering what is right, allowing us to break free from suffering and despair.
