“Show me a way of healing from joy. Show me that “slow” can be safe and “fast” can be healty. Show me that it is possible to take great care of myself and have abundance and healty relationships in my life. Show me, surprise me, delight me with a life in which I’m true to myself and I am serving the poppulation that I wanna serve and in which the work I care about continues to ripple out.”

Sarah Tacy

I consider my discovery of Sarah Tacy to be a fortunate coincidence, much like other significant revelations in my life.

A serendipity!

Why?

As I recognize how intricately my past experiences have converged to lead me to my encounter with Sarah. Much like the wonders of Nature, the forces that brought us together in this realm of possibilities began their journey long before I was aware of it.

Allow me to explain!

In 2023, I participated in a course led by Kate Northrup, anticipating that I would gain insights into effective money management. This year marked the beginning of my quest for a deeper comprehension of how to navigate the intense emotions of my four-year-old daughter.

Now let me take you back in time even more.

Many years ago, while residing in New Zealand and caring for children, I had the chance to connect with a group of mothers. These women, after spending time at home with their children, were contemplating their next steps toward re-entering the professional world. Many of them realized that they did not wish to resume their careers from the point where they had left off due to childbirth.

Many of them were experiencing a dilemma and feeling a sense of chaos.

During that period, I found myself in a state of bliss, truly enjoying life on a stunning island in the Pacific Ocean. I was not only realizing one of my dreams by learning English but also relishing daily walks along the beach. Moreover, I was living this dream alongside the man I loved deeply.

Reflecting on this period of time, I recognize the significance of the lasting impressions from those years.

At that stage in my life, I was confident that I would be adequately prepared for the time when I would become a mother. Little did I know how far I was from the reality of motherhood, which brought both privilege and initiation.

I soon found myself navigating a form of chaos that marked the beginning of my awakening.

This experience prompted me to explore new modalities and solutions, much like the other mothers on Waiheke Island did in 2008.

Now back in 2023!

I was uncertain about what I would discover in Kate’s course. However, I quickly learned as a mother that it was essential to trust my instincts rather than solely rely on my intellect if I wanted to foster meaningful change in our family’s life. Thus, I began a journey that ultimately led me to Sarah.

While Kate provided me with valuable insights on managing finances, she also offered a fresh perspective on approaching my daily experiences through a profound understanding of the Nervous System.

I get to know Sarah through the Nervous System support calls she conducted for our group in Relaxed Money. The first moment on I was deeply inspired by the material she presented. Subsequently, I discovered that she hosts a podcast and subscribed to her email list, where I learned about her complimentary offering of the 21-day Nervous System Support program.

Once again, I was impressed by the depth and quality of the content she provided. The Nervous System Healing Calls with Sarah instilled in me a sense of hope and renewal.

She motivated me to pursue a journey of expanding my understanding of the Nervous System, trauma healing, and the practices of somatic experiencing.

As someone who identifies as an artist, I found that listening to Sarah’s teachings and insights consistently encouraged me to connect with my authentic self. Consequently, I was immediately drawn to her course titled Resourced, as it felt like an opportunity to reconnect with her in real time and delve into the essence of her wisdom through the program she created.

Having recently completed the 12+ week course, I feel revitalized and equipped with a wealth of resources for Nervous System support.

AFTER RESOURCED

I have developed a stronger ability to ground myself when necessary, and I possess a deeper awareness of the inner world within me. As a yoga practitioner, enthusiast and teacher, I have learned to push beyond my limits; now, I can establish boundaries rather than merely erecting barriers.

I am beginning to recognize opportunities where I once perceived only obstacles.

With the blossoming of spring flowers, I truly sense that I am moving toward a more joyful and tranquil existence.

I feel that my purpose is becoming clearer with this newfound inner stability, as I recognize the significant need for support that has been lacking for many.

The initial step toward change begins with the acknowledgment of our ability to choose.

Only then can transformation occur. When you can identify the possibilities, you can make more thoughtful decisions about your circumstances.

After all, we are women, each of us embodying a profound strength: the power to be a sanctuary for the spark of creation.

Sarah will lead a FREE, 3-day nervous system workshop called Opting Out of Urgency in 2025. September 16, 17, 19. 12:00-1:30pm EST which is designed to help women recognize the cycles of overdoing, override, and depletion—and begin to reclaim a more grounded, steady, and life-giving pace. I’ll be there, I hope you will be too! Here is the link to join: Opting Out of Urgency
