I wanted to feel more grounded in my mixed identity so I could stop questioning myself in all of my experiences.

The Mixed Adults Course helped me to not only establish meaningful and curious connection with my family and ancestry but it offered me a widened and enlightened perspective on the larger context (the systems at play) and lenses responsible for the very nuanced experience of being mixed. This has helped inspire significantly more self-compassion and curiosity within me.

The Mixed Bloom Room framework was unique in that it wasn't solely centered on affirming and holding space, but also nudged us toward challenging some of our beliefs and unlearning unhelpful schemas etc. I felt seen and held in a way that acknowledged full context which was super useful for me.

I wanted to deepen my understanding of why my mixed heritage had brought me to question who I am, where I fit and why I often felt misplaced and misunderstood. I needed to own myself, my actions, and my intentions from the core, from my roots. My goal soon after starting was to unpack and release generational trauma, recognizing that while my ancestors endured far worse, the lingerings of silent, hurt and history still hit me when I least expect it.

Sarah and the Mixed Adults Course provided tools and encouragement to face the silence and feelings of dis-ease that prevented me from feeling liberated. The course gave me space, time, and a compassionate environment to be held but also challenged. This helped me realise the impact of unfairness, ignorance, and societal expectations on my life.

The Mixed Bloom Room framework was simple to follow and easy to adopt. It offered a structure that should be part of a child's education, continuously reviewed as they grow to deepen their understanding and experience of self in our society.

Sarah’s approach is marked by warmth, compassion, and humour. She leads from experience with a genuine desire for each participant to own their power. She encourages us to articulate our challenges in order to release them and create new beliefs based on who we are and how we want to celebrate our identity.

The Mixed Bloom Room experience was transformative. It provided a critical intervention at a time when I doubted how to navigate my skills and strengths in a world where my identity often speaks louder than anything else. The experience empowered me to rewrite, reclaim, and evolve my sense of self.

The Mixed Bloom Room has contributed to a life-changing view on who I am. It gave me the courage to believe in myself and celebrate my mixed heritage with pride. I encourage all mixed heritage individuals seeking to embrace their identity and release the past to build a future grounded in self-love and acceptance, to take part in The Mixed Bloom Room.

When I came to the Bloom Room, I don't know if I could have named what I was looking for but I see now that I was searching for ways to cope with white supremacy's impact on me. Sarah was so gentle with me as I worked my way towards figuring out what my deal was and provided tools that helped me to see connections clearly that I had never seen before. The tools Sarah provided helped me to develop a practice of seeing myself in the best light and to feel self-compassion in my moments of doubt. I love that Sarah's approach is thoughtful, builds community, and that she always brings joy to the space. The experience has been transformative and life-changing for me. I absolutely recommend Sarah's Mixed Adults Course for anyone who identifies as mixed.

I joined Sarah's Adult Mixed Bloom Room course after 3+ years of watching quietly from the sidelines. I was always unsure whether I would belong, be welcome, whether I was mixed enough to take up space there. Sarah kindly and firmly assured me that I was, and picked me up right where I was at. This course takes engagement, openness and honesty. If you provide that, Sarah and your cohort will provide the rest. I am deeply grateful to Sarah for her knowledge, kindness, empathy and passion. Will this course solve all of your problems around your mixed identity? No, nothing will. Will it give you tools, understanding, clarity, community, joy and hope? It absolutely will, and I recommend it to anyone who feels lost, anxious or 'not enough' around their mixedness. Thanks to this course, this group and Sarah, I've begun to let go of things I didn't think we're possible to work past, I feel empowered and excited for the future and my mixed identity feels like a real source of pride and joy, not just anxiety and uncertainty. So much love for this process, and everyone involved.

I can hardly explain the difference this course has made to my life in such a short space of time. It is well paced and well structured but it is also intense and will challenge you but that is what is needed otherwise how will you confront long held beliefs that are most likely holding you back. Sarah as a coach is a gift. Her understanding and lightness of being enable you to move through the difficulties with compassion. She has created something which is truly special. I now feel like where before there were many obstacles in my way to being my true self it’s like a gate has been opened and it is now for me to step through it and move forward into the life I want to have for myself.

I went into the Mixed Bloom Room unsure of what to expect, but with a feeling that it was the right course and the right time. My dad had recently died, completely unexpectedly, and losing someone so integral to who I am, and my Black parent, made me feel very vulnerable and uncertain about navigating my mixed-race identity. I also wanted to reduce the "mixed chatter" that often ran through my mind and find ways of taking the self-confidence and self-assurance that I felt internally and with trusted friends and family into the wider world.

Sarah is fun to work with. She's very easy to talk with and we laughed a lot together, despite working through heavy topics. She handled my deep grief gently and with compassion. Throughout the course, she offered me a wide range of tools and practices that helped me connect with parts of myself, my dad, and other members of my family that had sort of been hidden in plain sight. She was also attentive to my full self - recognizing the connections between racial identity and other aspects of wellbeing - and helped me make important narrative and energetic shifts towards the more assertive person I'm becoming.

I also enjoyed meeting an international group of mixed-race women, whom I could identify with in many ways. The group was extremely supportive and caring, and I looked forward to our Saturday sessions each week. As someone who has always identified as mixed-race and who grew up in a family that talked about race easily and frequently, I still benefitted a ton from the course; I feel confident about who I am and that others don't get to determine that for me and that my story is specific and important. It feels good. I would definitely recommend to anyone who's looking to heal any mixed-race wounds or uncertainty.

Before this course I had no idea how much unprocessed baggage I had around my mixed-ness. Sarah, her guest speakers, and the others in my cohort helped me to put words and concepts to my experience in ways I had never thought of before. These tools gave me a narrative that helped me feel understood, seen, and eventually very empowered.

A lot of healing happened for me and those in the course with me. Sarah is also a rare individual who walks the talk and simply being around someone who is so joyful and lovingly herself was a medicine I did not even know I needed. Thank you Sarah for everything, the healing and lessons from this course will stay with me deeply.

I began the Mixed Adults course with a backlog of issues and questions, thoughts and feelings that needed unraveling. Growing up, being ‘part black’ was rarely discussed. Therefore I had no language to articulate my experience, no community with whom to talk things over. I thought about signing up for the Mixed Bloom Room for a year before I finally decided to walk through the gate - I’m so glad I did!

I had already claimed the accurate, holistic term ‘mixed’ but Sarah’s course provided the safe space I needed to have honest conversations. She immediately established a sense of belonging, and made everyone feel accepted and fully supported. Her positive, creative vision, solid coaching experience, and her generosity are the foundation of the course. Working weekly with a bountiful range of tools and resources to cultivate my Mixed Bloom Room has led to healthier relationships with myself, my mixed-ness and with others. I am more aware of my positionality, and feel a greater sense of agency.

Sharing stories with other mixed people, internationally from many various backgrounds, has taught me the value of digging deeper and revealing vulnerabilities. That’s from where the growth comes. Our wonderful, synergistic conversations have alleviated my feelings of isolation, and helped me to articulate and release the issues circling around in my head. In short, the course has been transformative!

This course has absolutely changed my outlook on my mixed-ness, identity and person as a whole. It has been an essential step in getting comfortable and confident with who I am. Life-changing, and I would do it again and recommend to any mixed adult!

Before starting the course, I was uncomfortable using the word mixed and was struggling to define myself. My main goal with the course was to challenge that and to prepare being a mother, enabling my child to be confident in herself and identify too.

Through guided conversations, unpacking personal experiences, step by step weekly activities and group sessions, the course steadily allowed me to unpack my issues around my mixed-ness. I was able to develop tools and methods that I can integrate in my everyday to continue challenging difficult emotions.

Sarah has been an incredible coach, guide and facilitator. Her positive, caring, fun yet serious and in depth attitude made this 10-week course a joy to take part in. I learned so much about myself and about where I need to invest some more attention.

I can now say that I am proud of my mixed-ness which is wonderful. Many thanks Sarah for enabling this personal development.

Sarah has an incredible ability to connect so compassionately & authentically. Even though she is halfway around the world & we met virtually, I truly felt like we were connected, next to each other.

Her curriculum is so clear and meaningful, but it's her genuine kindness and loving approach that brings her passion into action. Sarah's expertise and knowledge as an equity and identity coach is so clear. She made challenging topics and conversations accessible with room for grace and accountability. I felt held by her; she knew intuitively when to push me, offer a different insight, or just let me process. I never felt any judgement. I also could tell week to week that I was growing and progressing through the course.

Sarah helped to develop long-term and weekly goals that surfaced my wins and opportunities. Sarah is also super skilled at group coaching. She fostered a collective relationship for our group that was nurtured expertly. She understands group dynamics and development, and navigated our dynamics in ways that felt personalized, responsive, and safe. Throughout coaching and groups, I also appreciated knowing that I was working towards a better understanding of my own identity but also working towards what my greater purpose and impact will be. This curriculum is so well done with love and purpose, especially all the tools.

I have a foundation of myself, skills, tools, and a mixed affinity group moving forward with me. Sarah is a gift. I can truly say she has changed my life, and I am forever grateful.
