Sarah has helped me immeasurably over the last year. She allows me to answer my own questions, helps me challenge my thinking, and challenges it for me when my skull is too thick. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone. She is LGBTQ+ and polyamory friendly, which are major pluses! I am so grateful to have her on this journey with me!
