I started the course feeling anxious and misplaced - completely frustrated with the world and my vagabond-esque place in it. Now, at the end, I feel more seen than I ever have, and have the strongest sense of self I've ever had when it comes to my race, but also generally. Sarah held a space for me that I wasn't even sure I deserved before taking this course. And that space has enabled me to see myself through my own eyes for the first time, rather than through the eyes of other people. The Mixed Bloom Room created a safe haven, which allowed me time to grow, heal and get to know myself, as well as see myself reflected in others. Through this course I have learned that I am not lost at all, but on my own path, and Sarah has helped me to create the tools I need to navigate it.

I can’t sing the praises of this course enough! I’m so glad I found Sarah and the wonderful community she has fostered. Sarah’s gentle, goal based approach helped me to focus on growing into the person I want to be. Since taking the course I have begun to develop a sense of self worth that I previously thought was impossible. I highly recommend this course

This experience has been so profound. Sarah is a gifted and deeply compassionate mentor. She guides you with care, understanding and great humour and camaraderie, while calmly helping you do the most life altering and soul healing work you’ve ever embarked on! What Sarah has created here is something so very special and important; I genuinely feel that every mixed person would benefit somehow from doing this work. 

The tools I have gained, the lessons I have learned and unlearned, and the way in which I view myself and my place in this world have fundamentally changed for the better and that is down to Sarah. Teaching yes, but moreover helping me to see what was already there wanting light and air. This is the most important and transformative work I will do in my life and it is a lifetimes work which won’t end. 

Sarah sets you on the right path and she helps you discover your own, not only in terms of yourself but also how to action these beliefs sustainably in the world. She is what I needed 35 years ago and I wish mixed children everywhere could enjoy this knowledge early in life and live with the same sense of freedom and joy she has shown us is possible.

I can’t say enough good things about my time in the Mixed Bloom Room! Sarah is such an amazing coach and facilitator with a huge heart and clear boundaries, something I often imagine as opposites but the people I’m most inspired by possess both as space holders. The combination of individual and group sessions was such a great experience and it was such a gift to connect with such incredible folks. I learned new tools and strengthened or modified ways to combat my limiting beliefs, both around my mixedness and in the ways old patterns were showing up in my day-to-day life. I feel a sense of confidence and groundedness in who I am, as a whole, not as fractions or pieces, but as all of me.

It’s rare for mixed people to have a space to talk about what it is to be mixed. Sarah provides space, time and resources and tools to be your full self in ways I never realized. As mixed people we tend to break our selves into pieces, sometimes without even knowing it. I’m so happy to have created my Bloom Room. A space to be, discover and grow as my true and whole self.

Sarah provided me with the prompts and tools I needed to help me to understand the pain and confusion I had built up around my mixed race identity. She provided me with so much clarity into how my thoughts and beliefs were affecting my life. After 8 weeks of building my Mixed Bloom Room I feel content and confident in my mixedness!

Thank You!! I cannot thank you enough for the Mixed Bloom Room. The 1-1 sessions and the group sessions have empowered me to step into my full authentic self. I have taken ownership over my identity and I no longer look to others to define what belongs to me, my mixedness!

Thank you so much Sarah for providing such an accepting and joyful space for me to explore my mixedness. I started the course with the hope that it would help me to be more confident in myself and my identity. It completely exceeded my expectations! After each weekly session with Sarah I felt a profound shift in my perspective. Over 8 weeks these shifts have completely changed the way I feel about myself and my mixedness. I’m finishing the course accepting and loving who I am and feeling empowered in a way I never have before. I can 100% recommend the Mixed Bloom for Adults for people of all mixes!

If you don’t think you have anything to say/learn....just try! This is a safe space to start or re-commit to the exploration of your identity.

I had recently discovered how much I needed to explore my racial identity and was searching for ways to do that; this course couldn’t have come at a better time!This program has given me the tools and space to explore my mixed self while being held accountable within a supportive mixed community. My work in the Mixed Bloom Room has empowered me and shown me that I am completely whole in my mixedness. My work has strengthened my sense of self and has helped build a stronger foundation of self-worth, compassion, and love. I am deeply grateful to have taken the Mixed Bloom Room Course with Sarah and to have met new friends that are like family!

Sarah leads with empathy in everything she does, whether it is the initial conversation before we got into the sessions, or during the explorations, or how she would synthesize what you would say to the group to make you rethink how you were feeling about your Mixedness. There would be times when my partner and I would have different issues but Sarah would offer up a solution or an exploration that would tackle both our issues but in different ways. It was such a unique experience and something that I will always value because it makes me think about my Mixedness in a way I was afraid or ignorant of needing to confront. I have new tools now that I got through the program to help me get through my issues with empathy for myself and that is odd to think I wasn't doing before the program but I wasn't and Sarah helped me figure out how to do that for myself.

The Mixed Bloom Room for Adults changed me. The combination of individual and group work make this experience powerful in exploring and affirming mixed identity. I came with a lot of self-doubt and questions. I leave the experience with meaningful changes and important resources to continue the work. I cannot more highly recommend Sarah and the Bloom Room for mixed adults.

This course has allowed me to let go of the feeling of being an imposter in my own body that I’ve been carrying around for as long as I can remember.

Sarah is warm, joyful, persistent and understanding, and the tools she provided have changed me. I’m a better person because of her and the course.

The Mixed Bloom Room opened me up to a whole new world of understanding myself. Through each session I felt myself becoming more, well myself. I think my favorite part was the weekly group coaching sessions, it felt great to connect with other mixed-race women, to feel that sense of community and know that we are here for one another. I feel as though my entire perspective on what it means to be, or identify as a mixed race person, completely shifted.

I’m so grateful for everything I learned and all the new agreements I’ve made with myself as I move forward in my life.

The Mixed Bloom Room has been a gift to my life. I learned so much about myself and I am now better equipped with the knowledge and tools to help navigate my life and relationships with an open heart and mind. The group sessions were validating and helped me understand that I wasn’t alone in a lot of the things I was feeling.

Sarah does a great job at creating a safe space that honors boundaries. The Mixed Bloom Room is an ongoing journey and Sarah sets us on the right path that allows for growth, compassion and joy. The two guest speakers, Dr. Sarah Webb and Jade Ecobichon-Gray are phenomenal and add so much value to the course as well. Truly a lovely experience that I will cherish forever.
