“Balance is not something you find, it's something you create.”

Find Your Path to Mindfulness
Mindfulness, the state of being aware of the present moment without judgement, is the foundation of all Heart Hips Mind offerings. Whether you're navigating change, fostering healthier habits, or seeking calm amid life’s demands, mindfulness empowers you to embrace life with intention, authenticity, and compassion.
Through practices like mindful breathing, gentle movement, and self-reflection, you can engage your senses, calm your nervous system, and shift from a state of reactivity to response. Mindfulness offers an opportunity to embrace and heal from challenges with greater confidence, empowering you to deepen your connection to both yourself and the world around you.
Each aspect of mindfulness nurtures a balanced and fulfilling life rooted in well-being. Engaging with your inner values, building resilience in times of change, and fostering self-compassion are all part of this journey. This path invites you to transform everyday experiences into moments of profound presence one conscious step at a time. Together, let’s we will journey to a more grounded and conscious life.
Discover Peace of Mind
I meet clients where they are in their wellness journey. By creating a calm and empowering environment I provide clients with the understanding, tools, and confidence to create balance for themselves emotionally, physically and spiritually as they evolve on their journey in this life.
I've always loved Wednesdays. Several years into this love affair, I realized Wednesdays are wonderful due to my longstanding habit of nurturing my body, mind, and soul with a yoga or dance class every Tuesday night.
I created Heart Hips Mind to share those feelings of self acceptance, peace, and awareness with others. I believe in being a trauma informed, accessibility focused instructor. My services reflect that, and are designed to hold space for healing and support.
My well-being philosophy focuses on practices which are efficient, effective, and fit into over-scheduled lives. As a guide, I'm perfectly imperfect - authentic, nerdy, devoted, full of thoughtful quotes and cheesy jokes. My wish is for all to be empowered to support their health and wellbeing.

Testimonials
Cristina,
meditation & yoga, US
I loved your classes and wish I had taken more of them. You have such a calming and soothing voice, it really helped me focus, reflect, and be mindful. Your classes provided a wonderful break and chance to focus/re-center myself in an office that was generally very high tempo and busy.

Sarah masterfully adapts her practice to individual needs and requests. Her skill, kindness, and warmth is evident from the get go, whether you are a veteran yogi or a total beginner.
Kim,

I felt curious, calm, and connected with nature. The data from my Oura ring and Garmin watch both confirmed the relaxation benefits I experienced. Sarah is a natural guide and offers gentle invitations to explore in a safe environment.
Elizabeth,

You empower each of us to do that which our body tells us is okay. I am able to push myself without worrying about keeping up with other students. I appreciate your encouragement and your contagious calm demeanor. My body aches are significantly reduced when I practice yoga with you.

Sarah is absolutely wonderful. She is a kind and warm person who is not only incredibly gifted but also helps others to find their gifts. Her knowledge in Reiki is incredible and I trust her wholeheartedly. I would recommend anyone looking for Reiki Healing or wanting to get their attunement to go to Sarah.
