When Survival Becomes a Way of LifeWhen your body has been living in survival mode for too long, even peace can feel unfamiliar. Many people experiencing chronic stress, anxiety, or dysregulation aren’t just “overwhelmed”—your nervous system has adapted to keep you safe, often by staying in a heightened state of readiness. (Porges, 2017; Dana, 2018.)
Transcending Trauma is a 9-week experiential program designed to gently guide you through the process of reconnecting with your body’s innate intelligence and capacity for regulation. Through neurosensory practices, guided self-inquiry, reflective journaling, and compassionate group witnessing, you’ll have space to notice, feel, and safely release long-held patterns of survival stress—at your own pace and in your own way.
As your system begins to remember safety, you may notice a gradual return of presence and vitality:
Breathing and rest come more easily
Emotions flow without overwhelm or shutdown
Relationships feel more balanced and authentic
Energy, creativity, and self-worth begin to reemerge
Chronic stress-related symptoms begin to lessen—or, for some, resolve completely
This program is grounded in a research-backed, body-centered modality refined over more than 30 years.
“Each participant noted greater insight into mind-body connection. They noticed the effect of cognition and emotion on the body, observed how the body can be used to improve coping through movement and breathing, and experienced different thoughts and emotions associated with different areas of their bodies.”— Sneed, J., & Hammer, T. (2018). Phenomenological Inquiry into Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy. International Journal of Yoga Therapy.
Over the course of nine progressive themes, Transcending Trauma offers a framework for reconnecting with the wisdom already within you—supporting your nervous system to regulate naturally, so you can move forward with more steadiness, clarity, and embodied trust in your own medicine.

"Although it's been several months since I attended SoulFly, what stands out to me most is Sarah's compassion. As each one of us were experiencing different types of trauma, going through multiple emotions & feelings, she was very aware of our individual situations, responses & perspectives. I truly felt, although there were several of us, Sarah held each of us in high regard as individuals." ~KL
