Are you a mother whose felt overwhelmed by the emotional and energetic demands of motherhood?

Or someone whose felt disconnected from your body due to illness, discomfort, or other struggles?

Or possibly someone who’s struggled to find the way your many interests align?

Whichever one speaks to you -today’s guest is someone whose journey is one you'll connect to.

Sarah's personal journey toward wellness led her to draw from past experience as well as build upon the things that she found value in and utilize a lot of grit.

Join today's conversation and learn more about the importance of feeling emotions in one's body and working through them, rather than relying solely on cognitive processes. Listen in as Sarah discusses the importance of connecting with our bodies and how Ayurveda can serve as a tool to achieve this. The use of Ayurveda allows for tackling multiple issues with one recommendation, and Sarah's approach digs deep to bring an individual's body back to balance. It requires determination and effort (there's that grit!) to choose holistic methods for wellness because society emphasizes quicker, easier solutions which only serve as band-aids. Sarah offers examples throughout our conversation of tools she offers clients to truly get to the root of their challenges.

Sarah L. Frederiksen is a Health + Wellness Counselor and Educator using eastern and western sciences to help others step out of toxic inter-generational behaviors, choose health, happiness, and healing, and elevate to their higher potential. After years of exploring seemingly disparate careers in Italian, Buddhism, and early childhood, it was not until becoming a mother that Sarah was forced to reexamine her life path and experience of wellness.

Unexpectedly overwhelmed by the emotional, energetic, and physiological demands of motherhood, Sarah returned to and more deeply immersed herself in the wellness practices of her past. Her hunger for knowledge has resulted in a Master’s degree in child and family development, multiple certificates, training in Yoga and Yoga Therapy as well as Ayurveda. She is currently working on her certification as an Ayurveda Practitioner. She currently connects with others through her business Elevate You Well, where she offers consultations, classes, and workshops to individuals, families, and groups.
