Offering It Back:
Shaping my Journey as a Somatic Liberation Coach
Dear Friends and Community,
Last weekend marked 14 years since my release from Iranian prison, and I’m writing to you today overflowing with excitement and gratitude. In addition to directing a documentary on reimagining justice, this year I launched my practice as a Somatic Liberation and Executive Coach. This new chapter is a culmination of years of work and study in somatic body-centered therapy that I began during the pandemic.
I’m reaching out because you know me, you’ve witnessed my journey, and you continue to help shape it. You’ve seen my deep dedication and my ability to repeatedly transform my personal nightmare into impactful change. As my friend and fellow healer Aninha Livingstone, PhD, says:
“Sarah has done the needed alchemy to make her life an offering, to use the challenges she has faced to make beauty in the world. I trust her capacity as a somatic practitioner and guide, knowing that she has done the work of transformation, both personal and cultural.”
Though my years in talk therapy were instrumental in helping me understand myself, true behavioral change began for me when I began somatic body-centered therapy.
Now, I’m offering it back.

Opening a practice is no joke! I’m reaching our to you because I’d much rather focus my time on helping my clients reach their goals than on constant online marketing. Here’s what you can do:
I’m looking for 4–5 new clients to join my practice this fall, and I’d love to work with you! As a Somatic Liberation Coach, I offer Body-Centered Therapy; as an Executive Coach, I specialize in embodied leadership skills. If you think you might be interested or have questions, sign up for a free, 30-minute discovery call.

Last, this work is highly effective online, allowing for a safe environment for doing the delicate work of guiding your nervous system out of a reactive state. Online accessibility also means that my services are available to anyone, anywhere!
The work I’m doing now is nothing less than my soul’s work. Thank you in advance for your help in extending my prayer for our individual and collective liberation.
