I would summarise my Mixed Bloom Room experience as the space that I entered as a Mixed race seed full of doubts and frustration about my Mixed race experiences, where I found fresh, nurturing, and validating soil, watered with wisdom, acceptance, and constructive guidance resulting in blooming joy, ease and understanding of who I am as a Mixed race person. This is the real deal 👌🏽

I initially came to the Mixed Bloom Room not completely sure of what I was looking for. I just wanted a starting place to explore my mixedness within a non-judgmental community and I ended up with so much more.

The ways in which Sarah emotionally held me during individual coaching sessions and us as a group throughout the various explorations we did, gently questioning us when necessary, led to my growth in feeling more confident in my mixed race identity and my identity more broadly.

I am leaving this group feeling more connected, empowered, and ready to continue doing this self-work!

I first heard about this course from an NPR podcast. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I knew that the trajectory I was on was not sustainable. I was full of anger, frustration, and exhaustion surrounding society's interpretation of my mixed identity.

The mixed adults course helped me chip away/unpack/dismantle these feelings and freed up space to practice centering myself over others and embarking on a new path with new beliefs and agreements.

Sarah is remarkable - her empathy, validation, kindness, proprietary tools, and occasional tough love are the heart of the mixed bloom room. The group I was in was amazing as well. Don't get me wrong, I am not "all better now" after this course.

This course did not "cure" me. I am, however, miles away from where I was when I started out. I have a sense of calm, deliberateness, and confidence that was not there before or was lying dormant. I feel relief and liberation in many ways. Had I not taken this course I would have eventually imploded with hurt and rage. I was really on a slow path towards self-combustion.

The mixed adults course offered insights and a new trajectory that has lead to a more fulfilling experience of life. I am so glad I took the plunge.

Sarah created a space specifically for mixed adults and helps conduct a special magic within that space.

The ability to challenge our limiting beliefs about our racial identity and create confidence through that was amazing and was like a waterfall throughout other areas of my life in a beautiful way. It helps you tune out the external noise and tune into yourself.

I loved having different tools to reflect with and being guided by such a funny, compassionate, kind, and thoughtful guide like Sarah.

On top of that, the other participants were so amazing, it was a wonderful experience. If you’re on the fence like I was, just do it!

The Mixed Bloom Room shifted so much for me. I often felt hesitant in claiming ALL of who I am as if my mixed identity meant I wasn’t enough of anything. This course empowered me in ways I couldn’t have imagined. I feel grounded in ALL parts of me and have the strength to stand in this wholeness. Stand in ME! Thank you, Sarah and Mixed Bloom Room for giving me the opportunity to better love myself.

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.

This process was nothing short of transformative. Unpacking my history around being mixed race, and having Sarah point out how much of this history I inherited from my grandparents story was freeing. There was space to feel it all, with Sarah alongside providing validation, compassion and support. 

From day 1 Sarah also provides tools and resources to takeaway in support of the exploration, which was handy during the tough earlier weeks but I ended up leaning on more during the second half which was much more future focused. I found the gear shift out of history, freeing myself up from it hard but so necessary. Freeing myself from limiting beliefs, building a new narrative for life. Sarah held all of me and what I was exploring beautifully, paced the sessions perfectly for where I was each week and nudged me gently outside of my comfort zone towards growth. 

I have an arsenal of tools at my disposal, and the lovely Sarah who checks-in periodically to see how I'm getting on. What a beautiful experience. I would absolutely recommend both Sarah and her course to others whenever I get the opportunity!

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.
