my story
Sarah Norris
I am a mother of 2 daughters, living in a rural coastal area in Tasmania.
I have been on my own healing journey for many years now. I think healing is a journey that continues for our entire lives. I have always loved working with people, working as a hairdresser since 2007.
Initially I wanted to expand on that in more depth as a psychologist, but upon completion of my psychology degree in 2013 I decided that pursuing that as a career wasn’t the right fit.
It wasn’t until 2018 when I was doing my 200hr yoga teacher training that I realised that there was so much more to healing than the intellectualising approach. I went through a major dark night of the soul rebirth at this time, I had some cataclysmic personal events unfold, and then, like many people I had some curve balls thrown at me by 2020 that forced me to slow down and rethink. What do I really want? What means the most to me?
It was then that I was introduced to my first tarot reading, and that unfolded a huge gateway into healing myself through the tarot, studying tarot and astrology, studying aromatherapy, the creation of a series of products designed to heal each chakra through aromatherapy, to now.
Now I am holding others in sacred, caring space in tarot and astrology readings, and creating healing aromatherapy blends.
I believe that in using my modalities in a combination with other emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual health practices is the path towards the lifelong journey of healing.
I believe this because this is what has worked and is working for me.
For me, the power of scent helps to slow down my mental chatter, and bring me back into my body.
I am still healing. I believe this is a lifelong process, uncovering layers of healing, and as those layers peel back we reveal a bit more of our true self.
Healing is an unravelling, making small changes as we go along, making steady progress. It’s the continual, sincere steady progress that is where we make the biggest changes. I feel like I have lived several lifetimes (in this lifetime) of changes and trauma, and I bring all of my personal experience, psychology degree, and holistic modalities together to make the road smoother for you. My biggest hope and wish is to use my experiences to help others.
The experience that has been my biggest teacher, has been my journey through domestic violence, becoming a single mum to a 7 month old while 8 weeks pregnant, and learning how to deal with co-parenting with my abuser, dealing with my emotional scars, trying to heal while being there as a mum, and not letting that affect my children’s relationship with their father. Parenting has been a big teacher too. Much more difficult than I had anticipated.
My gift, as I have discovered, is using my scars, intuitive gifts, and the beautiful, holistic modalities I have found so much solace in along the way to help others to find their own unique strengths and gifts. I’m excited to help you, and to help make the road smoother for you.
