RESTORE
A monthly membership to help you release stored trauma,
rewire your brain, and step into soulful rest
Release Stored Trauma
Understand how trauma impacts the body and psyche, attune to your nervous system in its different protective states, learn to release stored trauma at a bodily level with gentle somatic practice, and find safety in your body.
Rewire Your Brain
Re-pattern your nervous system to create a baseline of regulation by implementing focused, consistent rhythms of nervous system care throughout the day.
Step into Soulful Rest
Engage spiritual practices to form the soul and rewire the brain; connect with like-minded healing support; and cultivate sturdy hope for the future.
"Sarah’s understanding of the many different layers of nervous system healing — along with her thoughtfulness and creativity in how to blend them — is truly unparalleled. Restore has not only been an invaluable, impactful, and easy to incorporate program to be a part of, but feels like steady support on the winding journey."

Restore Testimonial
I’ve been on a long journey to find healing in both childhood and adult trauma. As a result my weight has fluctuated greatly throughout my life. I’m now a dietitian, but my weight increased steadily over the last 8 years from a healthy to an unhealthy range. I’ve tried all the healthy ways to lose weight with no results. A wonderful friend led me to Restore and the very first time I did the somatic practice class I lost 3 pounds in one week and felt competent for the first time in my life! I now have the monthly pass [through Restore] and my goal this year is to be consistent with my somatic practice and study the connection between trauma/ emotional health and weight. I can’t thank you enough for the resources you have given!

I am so grateful to have discovered Restore. It has helped me to slowly become more attuned to my body, more curious about what my body is saying to me, and more knowledgeable about how to help my body feel safe and loved. If anyone is wondering if it is worth the investment, it 1000% is! Over the many years of my life I had learned to push through any difficult, terrifying, stressful, and even traumatic situations while completely ignoring my body when it said " I'm frightened," "I need rest," "I need safety," "I need a break." Panick attacks, anxiety, hair loss, weight gain, digestion issues, etc. were the result. Being a part of Restore and taking Sarah's classes have helped me to start paying attention to what my body wants and needs and being gentle and patient with it in the process. With the help of Sarah and Restore and all the tools provided to me, my journey to healing has been helped beyond my expectations. Thank you, Sarah!

Restore Testimonial
Restore has benefited me in that I felt like there was still a missing piece, despite having used DNRS numerous times over the past few years.
The link with the Vagus Nerve and somatic processing have been insightful in regards to helping my body feel safe as I process emotions really hadn’t been dealt with alone through DNRS.
In the past 2 months I’ve found my window of tolerance increased and when triggered have had more resources to use to move me through.
Sarah has offered a safe place to explore deep questions and emotions that have been neglected for years and I feel like through slow and deliberate practice there will be deeper healing.

What's in the Restore Video Library?
Here's an overview of the content folders in the video library. *Folders are growing regularly as new content is added*
I. SYMPATHETIC ACTIVATION
Somatic practices to help you regulate your nervous system by releasing the survival energy generated by the body in a mobilizing state of sympathetic activation, also called fight-or-flight.
II. DORSAL VAGAL SHUTDOWN AND FREEZE
Somatic practices to help you gently wake up and mobilize the nervous system in either of the two states of immobilization: freeze or dorsal vagal shutdown.
III. FROM HEAD TO TOE
Somatic practice to help you break up tension patterns in the body, interrupt pain patterns, reset the vagus nerve, and release stored trauma.
IV. MONTHLY CLASS RECORDINGS
Each month, I upload our class recordings to the Restore library so you have daily access to them.
V. TRAUMA EDUCATION
A. ATTUNEMENT
Nervous system work requires a relational container of love and safety; and yet, when we engage this work, we often do so from a place of desperation, disconnection from the self, and frustration with the body. Self-attunement is the practice by which we create a container of love for the body, learn to identify its survival states, and learn to use healing resources from a place of compassion instead of fear and desperation.
B. SENSORY SKILLS
Cultivate essential sensory skills to help you continue the process of attunement and ultimately manage, and eliminate, symptoms.
C. GRIEF, CORE BELIEFS, AND RESISTANCE
Begin to process grief and anger while staying in your Window of Tolerance, and identify and tend to the wounds and accompanying core beliefs that perpetuate limbic system impairment and create resistance to healing.
D. BOUNDARIES & RELATIONSHIPS
Continue to create environmental safety for your nervous system by exploring a practice of setting boundaries, starting with an embodied foundation of trust between the thinking and survival brain.
VI. LIMBIC SYSTEM RETRAINING SUPPORT
A. FOUNDATIONS
Begin exploring the integration of top-down and bottom-up resources, improve and understand your visualizations, create more effective daily rhythms of rewiring, and generate visualization ideas when you’re feeling stuck.
B. GUIDED MEDITATIONS
Come along with me on my memory and future visualizations.
VII. SPIRITUAL FORMATION
Engage imaginative Christian spiritual practices, like Lectio Divina and Ignatian Prayer, that form the soul and rewire the brain.
VIII. Q&A
Submit your questions for me under the "Questions for Sarah" thread in the forum, and I'll choose some throughout the month and upload my answers in video form.
*Some folders are incomplete as subscription content is still being uploaded from month to month.
"I can’t begin to tell you how important these tools have been in my healing. After experiencing a long plateau, they were the missing piece of the puzzle. They helped me turn the corner to begin functioning again. Thank you for sharing your work with us!"

Be Your Own Medicine
The research is in, and now we know that nervous system dysfunction can play a significant role in chronic systemic illnesses like Lyme, CFS/ME, POTS, MCAS, and MCS, as well as mental health challenges like anxiety disorders and depression.
Releasing stored trauma and re-patterning the nervous system brings the body back into homeostasis where anxiety and depression can abate and the body can fight infection, heal the gut, balance hormones, and repair at a cellular level.
Restore offers a blend of somatic, cognitive, and spiritual practices and education to help you create a robust, holistic approach to regulating your nervous system:
SOMATIC
Engage gentle healing movements; break up tension patterns; reset your vagus nerve; and learn to signal safety to your limbic system via its language of sensation, so your body can release stored trauma
COGNITIVE
Engage new ways of thinking about yourself, your body, your relationships and your life.
Practice imaginative visualizations to signal safety to your survival brain, so your body can release stored trauma.
Process grief and anger productively, in small doses that keep you inside your Window of Tolerance.
Tend to shame, bringing the story of your inherent value into your body.
SPIRITUAL
Engage imaginative spiritual practices, like Ignatian Prayer and Lectio Divina, to open yourself to the healing power of God and train your nervous system to rest.
This piece is for those who want to more explicitly involve their faith in their retraining. The folder entitled "Spiritual Formation” is devoted to spiritual practices
How do I know if Restore is for me?
Restore is for you if any of the following are true:
- You want to gently tend to stress or trauma at a bodily level
- You want to re-pattern your nervous system, bringing it out of survival mode to create a baseline of regulation
- You are doing a limbic system retraining program and want to fill in the gaps of your program to take a more holistic approach
- You are new to nervous system work, feel overwhelmed by all available options, and want a single hub to explore and integrate holistic modalities for healing the nervous system
"Restore has been a lifeline during the healing process, and doing somatic therapy has been something I look forward to every day. It is the calmest, most grounded part of my day. Before joining the membership, my body wasn’t responding to the neural retraining program I was in. I needed a bridge to signal safety to my nervous system, and now neural retraining is so much easier. Now I use them both, and it’s a game changer. Well worth every penny to feel myself again."

About Me
Like many of you, I spent years in bed, ravaged by chronic invisible illness and trauma, searching for elusive diagnoses and exhausting treatment options. But nothing helped in the long term, with many of my treatments making me much sicker; and with time, my hope of healing grew threadbare.
Just when I was close to giving up hope, I began to find answers.
I learned that an unhealthy nervous system is often at the root of chronic invisible illness, and I began a journey of healing my nervous system using a limbic system retraining program called The Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS). I started to get my life back.
But I quickly noted the deficits of even a good limbic system retraining program like DNRS, so I spent years building healing practices that were more holistic. I took courses and got certificates; I used my research acumen to do deep dives that the courses weren’t providing; I drew on my PhD program research in spiritual formation. I integrated somatic, psychological, and spiritual modalities, and began offering what I’d learned to others.
The result is a thriving coaching business where I have helped many hundreds of others find the deeper healing that comes with a holistic approach. But my coaching practice is bursting at the seams, with a long waitlist of people who are eager to heal holistically. There are so many people I still want to help. So I created RESTORE, a membership full of the resources I have used to get my life back.
I’m so grateful to be able to share it with you.

"Restore has transformed the way I am rebalancing my nervous system and brain by providing nourishing resources that my body and brain respond to palpably in the moment, which feels so empowering. More importantly, however, Sarah offers the support I have needed to frame my practice from a place of love and belonging, that feels so nourishing and safe rather than a desperate attempt to use neuroplasticity tools to escape my challenges. "
