About me

Hello! I’m Sage.

I'm a therapeutic coach, compassionate guide, and fellow human, navigating the ups and downs of life alongside you and meeting you right where you are.

If you are familiar with the Enneagram and MBTI, I'm a 4w5 and an INFJ. I appreciate the glimpses these frameworks can offer into our natural tendencies while remembering that we are far greater than any label, theory or diagnosis. This is exactly where our work begins: exploring the vastness of who we are beneath and beyond the patterns shaped by our history, our circumstances, our beliefs, and our fears.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been on a quest for authenticity and integrity. I'm endlessly curious about what makes us who we are, what disconnects us from ourselves, and what allows us to find our way back. My own journey has been as fascinating as it's been painful, bringing me to places of both wonder and despair. It profoundly shaped the way I understand transformation, growth, and what it means to be human, and became the foundation of the compassion, curiosity, and purpose I now bring to my practice. Beyond my work, I’m also a visual artist, creative writer, intuitive dancer, world traveler, and nature lover.

If you're curious about why I feel so deeply called to this work, I invite you to keep reading.

My story

One self, four voices

I will be glad information on the use of

The body, a truth keeper

I was still a teenager when my body began communicating with me in the only language it knew: symptoms. Years of investigations brought few answers and even fewer solutions, so I learned to push through. Feeling unwell became normal, even expected, so I came to trust my determination more than my body. Then a cycling accident brought everything to a halt. The symptoms I had managed to override as best I could for years could no longer be ignored. What initially felt like a painful life interruption, with no clear way forward, slowly became an invitation. I came to realize that my body had been holding parts of my experience I had not yet known how to hear.

The body is a faithful truth keeper until we’re ready to listen.

The heart, a reliable compass

As my body spoke, my heart joined the conversation in its own dialect: emotions. I went from being an invisible, composed child, to oscillating between depression, anxiety and anger, all carefully bundled up inside, with little understanding of what they were asking of me. When my health collapsed further after the accident, so did the walls that had kept those emotions at a safe distance. Like a dam bursting under too much pressure, they began flowing with neither my permission nor control. This reliable compass had been orienting me toward what needed acknowledgment, compassion, and care all along, knowing transformation was through, not around, the pain.

The heart knows where healing begins.

The mind, a healing force

As my body and heart found their voice, my mind joined with its own tongue: questions. Why? How? What if? What’s wrong? Anxiety, worry, and analysis became attempts to explain the inexplicable. My mind was trying to protect me in the only way it knew how: by searching. The accident only amplified that search. I was convinced that somewhere there had to be an answer that would finally resolve it all. When guided by awareness, my mind became a remarkable ally, much quieter, but tremendously more potent. This wild intelligence, once harnessed, holds incredible healing force and clarity.

The mind has at worst the ability to keep us asleep,

and at best the potential to bring to light our true nature.

The soul, an unwavering beacon

While my body, heart, and mind had to become increasingly loud to gain my attention, my soul only needed to whisper. The quest for meaning and purpose, even amidst daily suffering, has always been my unwavering beacon. I initially perceived the accident as a temporary and painful interference with my path, until I realized that life wasn’t waiting on the other side of those circumstances, but unfolding within them. I would never have chosen the suffering I experienced, yet as I grieved what had been and sense what would raise from the ashes, a path emerged from it that led me back to myself and to where I am today: supporting others as they navigate their own thresholds and transformations.

The soul blossoms even amidst challenges, if we let it.

The journey, a return to self

Looking back, I now see my journey as one of learning to listen.

Listening to my body instead of overriding it.

Listening to my emotions instead of fearing them.

Listening to my mind without becoming trapped within it.

Listening to the quiet wisdom present beneath it all.

Each was pointing me back to the same place: myself.

This is the lens I now bring to my work: our challenges do not automatically transform us, but when met with curiosity, compassion, and support, they can become the doorways back to who we really are, back to feeling at home in ourselves.

Whatever threshold you’re standing at today,

you don’t have to cross it alone.

While my personal experiences led me toward this work, my professional training and experience taught me how to accompany others with care, skill, and responsibility. If you wish to learn more, I invite you to keep reading.

My professional background

Anchor 1

I began my path in suicide prevention and intervention, where I witnessed the spectrum of ways we suffer as humans as well as our capacity to move through these experiences. This work profoundly shaped the steadiness and compassion I bring to my practice today, while deepening my trust in our innate capacity for resilience and change.

I later completed the Therapeutic Coaching Certification, a comprehensive two-year, trauma-informed and integrative program that blends therapeutic approaches with the forward movement of coaching. It explores how past experiences shape our present patterns, beliefs, emotions, and responses, while using experiential and mind-body practices to deepen awareness, access inner resources, and create new ways of responding. Coaching then helps translate this inner work into meaningful choices and action. The methodology integrates principles from developmental psychology, parts work, somatic therapy, mindfulness, NLP, hypnotherapy, and life coaching, and is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

In my private practice, I work with individuals from around the world navigating periods of challenge, change, and uncertainty. My experience ranges from supporting people through a particular difficulty or transition to deeper work with long-standing patterns that affect how they experience themselves, their relationships, and their lives. You can explore my different areas of support here.

I also work remotely as a Psychology Practitioner at the Optimum Health Clinic, a London-based clinic supporting people navigating complex, often long-standing challenges related to chronic health conditions, anxiety, and the effects of trauma. In this role, I help people better understand their experiences, expand their inner resources, and make meaningful changes in their health and lives.

I continue to deepen my knowledge and refine my skills through ongoing training and education. Some of the additional trainings that most directly inform my work today include:

Internal Family Systems (IFS) — Treating Complex Trauma & Restoring Health (IFS Institute)
Polyvagal Theory — Polyvagal-Informed Therapy for Anxiety and Trauma
Somatic Therapy — Somatic Experiencing for Trauma, Attachment & Chronic Pain
Attachment Theory — Treating Attachment Trauma & Repairing Internal Attachment with IFS
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) — Levels I & II (EFT International-accredited training)
