Post-Session Feedback I've Received from Clients

"I worked with Sage to navigate and begin to heal from past trauma. Her kind, supportive, and professional approach allowed me the space to be challenged and heal from past experiences. Sage is a wonderful and thoughtful person to work with, and I would recommend her to others."

"You were clearly put on this planet to be doing exactly this work. I know I say this at the end of each of our sessions, but I continue to be blown away by how much I get out of each one.  I've seen a bigger change in myself from 3 sessions with you than I have from many years of traditional talk therapy. Thank you for helping me discover and accept my asexuality!"

“Navigating the emotional balance between my own needs and a partner's has always felt like a minefield. I used to wish I could practice dating with the same focus and coaching I’d get learning a sport or a new skill—and that is exactly what I found in Sage.

​

Sage provides an incredibly safe, non-judgmental 'container' for growth. She blends deep somatic intuition with expert communication skills, acting as both a mentor and a guide. If you are looking to build genuine confidence and competence in your relationships, I cannot recommend her enough. She has been a vital part of my personal growth journey.”

"Knowing what safe healthy intimacy feels like in my body has completely changed every facet of my life. Thank you for showing me that I'm capable of feeling safety and pleasure. I am confident in myself in a way I didn't realize I could ever be."

"Even just a few sessions in, our surrogate partner therapy work together has grown my body intelligence so significantly. I now feel like I'm moving through my life in a much more confident and embodied way. I have a better understanding of my emotions and bodily sensations, and can move through everyday stressors with more clarity and levity. I was able to stay present for Thanksgiving dinner with my kids without freaking out when things didn't go according to plan in a way I didn't know how to before and it felt connected to our work together around communication and nervous system regulation.”

"I started seeing Sage because I hadn't had a proper erection in almost 5 years and was seriously considering surgery to get a penile implant. After a few months of working together on both stuff in my childhood and stuff in the here & now, it's now not unusual for me to wake up with an erection. Sage helped me realize that what I thought was merely a physical issue actually had roots in a lot of deep childhood trauma that had been following me around every day for the last 70 years. I feel so much lighter and capable of experiencing connection, joy, and pleasure in a way I hadn't ever before after our work together, and for that I am infinitely grateful."

"I had a really good time, and the experience itself was really healing. Going in I had mentioned that I had tightness in my back and after receiving your touch my body feels really good and that specific part that was in pain is no longer there. I appreciated your care and focus and taking the time to share with me what you found within my body, areas where I was tight and helping discover problem areas for me that have contributed to other underlying issues. I also want to recognize and appreciated the seriousness and dedication you have put into your craft in being a healer. I really felt that throughout and afterwards.

​

It meant a lot to feel connected and cared for, and afterwards it reopened my eyes to other things in life that I had compartmentalized away. I was surprised at how emotionally complex the experience was, it made me recognize and reaffirm some things about myself; the levels of emotional connection I need, being able to place my feelings and discover the mechanisms behind how I feel at certain times. I didn’t expect to have that discovery process, and I think I am more somatically oriented than I knew going in. The experience overall surpassed my expectations and brought a level of introspection that I was not expecting going in.

I would also say most importantly of all this, you made me feel seen. That really rejuvenated my spirit on a level that I didn’t know was possible."
