With her passion of understanding the world thru the lenses of the 5 Elements of Nature and her admiration of the human complexity, combined with her caring and playful personality, Marcela creates the perfect environment for her students to go inwards and explore their true nature as well as learn the tools to assist others in their own unique journeys.

Sara offers hypnotherapy sessions globally via zoom and in person in Brighton and London. Her sessions most benefit those who are ready to change unwanted behavioural patterns, want to change aspects of their life for the better and are ready to let go of the past so they can move forward and become who they truly want to be. Sara has worked in the creative and corporate industries for a decade, yet have always had one foot in the ethereal realms - learning the ways of yogis and training in Reiki and Shamanic practises amongst others. Hypnotherapy is a gentle blend of these learnings, combined with certified training she has undertaken by one of the most aspiring figures in the industry, Andrew Parr. Having worked with subtle energies, it is Sara's understanding that we have a great pool of wisdom within each of us, and rebuilding our connection to ourselves is sometimes all that is needed to reveal what we need to know for healing and change to take place. This is what she aims to achieve in every session; to facilitate personal exploration whilst guiding a client to their inner-being with the greatest care and compassion, and holding the space for personal transformation to take place.
