The Mālama Method is a more integrative path for those seeking support that blends neuroscience, psychology, yoga, and embodied healing.

Created by Sarah as her signature approach to embodiment coaching and yoga, this work expands beyond traditional therapy to help you cultivate embodied health, inner balance, and a deeper sense of home within yourself.

For those who want support that feels active, experiential, and growth-oriented, The Mālama Method offers a more holistic space for healing - one that honors both the mind and the body, and makes room for deeper, lasting change.

Upcoming Offerings

  • A more integrative path for those who want support that blends neuroscience, psychology, yoga, and embodied healing.

    This work expands beyond traditional therapy by using yoga and integrative practices to support embodied health, balance, and a stronger internal sense of home.

  • This innovative approach combines embodiment coaching, yoga, and body-mind-soul practices in a way that feels active, experiential, and growth-oriented. It can be especially meaningful when healing calls for more innovative, educational, or holistic support not typically covered by insurance.

    PILLAR 1: Create Your Own Personal Paradise - Learn nervous system regulation tools that help you shift out of stress and reactivity into grounded clarity, emotional balance, and sustained energy -so your everyday life as a parent, partner, and professional feels like your own personal paradise within.

    PILLAR 2: Conscious Reframing - Learn my science-backed system, rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), to shift out of anxious overthinking, people-pleasing, and perfectionism into self-trust and emotional clarity - so you can set and hold healthy boundaries without guilt and move through life with greater ease and freedom.

    PILLAR 3: Embody the Elite Within - Learn embodiment practices that reconnect you to your body’s wisdom and inner intelligence - so you can cultivate deeper presence, joy, and purpose while living in alignment with your most authentic self.

  • “Brainspotting with Sarah was unlike any coaching or therapy session I'd had before. I was able to witness and feel myself move through a healing cycle with each trauma we addressed. Sarah holds a certain stillness that makes the session unfold with ease. Her compassionate and tenderhearted nature makes it easy to, not only let go, but to find the same compassion and tenderheartedness for yourself as you process. It is a deeply moving and transformative experience.”

  • “I felt very heard, held, and seen during our session. Sarah helped me to reconnect to the practical self-soothing tools I have come to know and love. Her vast knowledge on the science behind it all helped me to ground into the experience even more so. This session was the support and guidance I desired exactly when I needed it most.”

    -Coaching client

  • “Sarah, I just needed to come in and say thank you. After just two sessions with you and your brain spotting, which is in my words magical, you have helped me so much. I am able to now work much better with the cadence of my own brain in the way that it's designed. You were also able to help me get out of my own way to create new habits and patterns related to my family so that I can better relate to myself. And I'm no longer stuck in that mode of pure frustration. You have helped me to reprogram my brain and I appreciate you so very much. Anyone who is looking for help and feels at all called, please don't hesitate. Sarah is the real deal.”

    -Mālama Circle client

  • “During the holidays, I chose to join the Malama Circle with Sarah. I had been through a lot in 2023 and I was really struggling with my relationship with myself, my husband and my kids. We are through the first quarter of 2024 and I feel like a new me. This program has helped me to work through a rebirth that was so necessary for me at this time in my life and the Malama Circle has been a big part of that! Within 3 months, my mental health has improved from 4/10 to 8/10 thanks to taking time to go on retreat for myself, the work I am doing in this group, and the weekly check-ins with Sarah.”
