Sarah Pattison
Hi! I’m Sarah. I draw from years of experience exploring how we can use creative means to grow and develop the selves we wish to be and to access our hearts' true knowing.
As a visual artist and lover of language, dreams and of the imagination, I provide compassionate witnessing and offer loving, playful ways to help you dance and paint and dream your new life into being.
Your heart will not steer you wrong if you listen to its’ guidance.
Philosophy & Style
I take an interdisciplinary and intuitive approach to helping you get more in alignment with your hearts' wisdom. We accomplish this by using painting, drawing — sometimes scribbling — movement and metaphor, story and sound to help you discover your own divinity and individual creative essence.
We use this multi-faceted exploration as a means to more fully inhabit each moment and the joy of being alive and living in a body.
This process helps you to build new neural pathways and positive habits, and with the aid of creative materials, to step out of your thinking brain and into the flow of your hearts' wisdom . . . perhaps even discovering a new language all your own. Simple, non-toxic art supplies are utilized as a means to express feelings and emotions that you may have no words for and to bring a depth to your expression.
We work together to find ways to bring awareness to what blocks you from following your inner wisdom, to hone your listening skills, and to find ways to access your happiness by replacing activities or thought patterns that no longer serve you with new ones that are more wholesome and fun. It is good to know that when we explore the heart we also have to learn to access our feeling-sensing selves and we do this with a kinesthetic mind-body approach. Sometimes this exploration can take us to emotions that need to be acknowledged or to be or given full expression before they can be released. We have no judgement for what arises but we allow feelings to be experienced and flow through us without censorship.
We will work one-on-one listening for the tangled places in your heart and life to help you unwind the knots to really take advantage of the goodness that is in and all around you.

HOW I WORK
Individual Session 90 Minutes - $125
I work with you one-on one via Skype or FaceTime. I listen for the tangled places in your life and heart and together we find workable solutions to help you to create sustainable change. I draw from my years as a lover of the esoteric and of symbolic language to help you create your own new language and a light-hearted and playful approach to old problems. The goal is to find engaging ways that invite you into new, more wholesome and holistic habits with ease.
It brings me great joy helping you to bring more happiness and harmony into your every experience and to get the most out of this one wild and precious life.
