Some words from Sabrina Washington,
Forward Emotion’s Reiki & Life Coach Provider
I am a student of life. You can catch me stopping to smell the roses, and share a smile with a person passing by. Since a child, I’ve been drawn towards trying to listen to people, really understand them and their situations, and see how I can help them through hard times.
All too often, people don’t know the power they already have within them. I believe everyone is a beautiful light, valuable and wise, capable of amazing things. Sometimes we just need help to see it.
There is nothing better than when people finally do see, just how valuable they really are. Those moments when time stops, something clicks, and a person finds the clarity, reassurance, peace, (and sometimes excitement) they need to move on. It fuels my soul to help people move into their power; their power to heal, their power to create and to live a life that TRULY brings them peace and joy.
I, myself, have come a long way. When I was young, I tried to stay small, and quiet. I tried to navigate how painful, confusing, and stressful life can be from this quiet place. Luckily my family made sure my siblings and I had support, and safe places to be heard. Therapy became my support, and then my passion as I set out to become a dance/movement psychotherapist. I wanted to help families who were going through really hard times, like mine did. I wanted to help people find healing. Once I followed my heart’s call to explore holistic healing methods to help me heal and cope with life’s stressors, my whole world opened up, I was changed.
My passion to help people navigate life’s challenges has only strengthened since then. Integrating traditional methods with holistic – all natural – ways of healing, is what I feel I came here to do. Holistic Life Coaching allows me to offer my nurturing light, while also helping people find their light, shed the shadows of the past, and move forward in their wholeness.
I believe that when we each are empowered with our ability to heal ourselves, our light can shine brighter, spreading this light and love to help heal the world around us. Life, with self-love, goes a long way (and feels a lot better). I am truly inspired by working with those who are ready to take their healing into their own (loving) hands.
Education
I am a Certified Holistic Life Coach, Energetic Healer, and Integrated Body-Mind Wellness Specialist. My certification is with the Global Association for Holistic Psychotherapy and Coaching. I have a Master’s Degree and 7 years of experience in professional counseling and dance/movement therapy. I am fascinated with the natural wisdom of the body, and so, also have graduate certificates in Laban Movement Analysis and Movement Pattern Analysis & Business Consulting. I completed my year-long certificate program in The Art of Energetic Healing in New York City.
Being able to draw from these unique and powerful sources of wisdom and knowledge allows me to take a comprehensive look at physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual concerns, and find the best integrative approach for each of the individuals I work with.
