This short episode is a solo episode talking about HEALING. The healing we've done. The healing we've yet to do. And the healing that is between where we are and where we want to be.

More About Sarah:
After establishing her first Massage Therapy & Wellness Clinic at the age of 28, Sarah went on to grow her clinic to multiple 7 figures and a team of 30+ experts, and now works clinically only 4 hours per week because she chooses to. Sarah continues to practice massage and energetic healing modalities included in andean shamanism, breath work (pranyama) and therapeutic movement in Vernon, BC and online courses.
In her 20 year practitioner career she has always been guided to collaborate with multiple disciplines and curates care based on a body, mind and soul approach in retreat events and private consultation.
Now Sarah dedicates her passion, knowledge and experience to helping other health professionals and practice owners to realize their own goals and aspirations. Sarah coaches leadership through understanding team dynamics, weaving together her spa and clinical management experience as well as her private coaching and retreat event management background. She uses her industry expertise in business development and health plan programming in combination with her Human Design and Genekeys teaching career.
Karma Well Health was born from Sarah's passion that health and wellness industry leaders and multidisciplinary practitioners are stronger when in collective collaboration. Her experience with her membership based massage business taught her the value of creating a container of expectation for care but it also demonstrated how a business could provide the practitioner a place for them to thrive with predictable and reliable membership revenue. “I want to build a health care system within our healthcare system, based on a new ecology - a marketplace that teaches patients how to heal deliberately and consistently as a way of life. A system that is built by practitioners, for practitioners”.
