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.

Mixed Bloom Room Course For Parents was a wonderful experience. It has and will continue to help me build my resources and community according to my personal needs and desires for my family's future. I learned to prioritize taking inventory of my life daily when it comes to the mixed experience within our family dynamics. My thoughts, my home, our community, school...everywhere! I have finally allowed myself the freedom and room for growth around a topic that can easily be confusing, intimidating, and unfortunately-overlooked. The complexities that I have begun to explore will forever help me as a parent in the sense of communication and openness to my mixed race child. This course taught me framework, fundamentals, and perspectives to take into account daily as my lifetime work continues. My Bloom Room caters to my specific needs and I'm forever grateful to have had Sarah guide me through some discomfort in order to find and support the wonder in the work. The importance of trusting, believing, affirming and supporting our children in their mixedness is forever exemplified by my studies in Mixed Bloom Room. It truly helped me get out of my head and more into my heart which will have a lasting effect on our lives moving forward.

It's easy to feel at a loss on how best to proceed as a white parent of a mixed child. I knew that my daughter was going to face discrimination and experiences in life that I had not been affected by and that I wanted to be able to protect her from. Sarah helped me to see that I was not going to be able to protect my child from the world, but that I could ready myself to acknowledge the things she faced and offer her my loving support in facing them. I know now that I cannot fix these things for her, but by telling her I believe her experiences and that I stand by her, she will know that she is loved, seen and respected.

The Mixed Bloom Room also reignited the spark of optimism that I felt about her mixedness when she was born. She has two cultures to draw from; she has two passports! There is so much opportunity and celebration to be had in her life and I have a duty to explore both of her cultures with her so that she can take full advantage of her position.

The whole experience has been really useful to me as a starting point towards what is going to be a life long process of learning and trying to be better. As much as I wanted the course to end with a gold star and a pat on the back to say the work was done, it was clear throughout the course that this was the beginning of the journey. I appreciated the planning work we did in the final week as we explored how to move forward after the course ended.

Sarah was honest, supportive and challenging throughout and I could feel the love and care for my daughter throughout the course. She recommended books and other resources to support my ongoing antiracism journey.

Sarah is an incredible coach, and she teaches with so much love. This course has changed my relationship with my mixed child; he feels seen, he can occupy space as his whole self and his confidence has blossomed! Sarah has also helped me to engage with anti-racism work that is sustainable to me. The mixed bloom room for mono racial parents of mixed children has been invaluable to my family, and I urge any parent looking at this course to book on!

I’m leaving The Mixed Bloom Room with skills and knowledge that will be known and felt in my family for generations to come. The gratitude I feel towards Sarah is immense. She has helped and taught me in so many complex and beautiful ways. Affirmed and given me knowledge in how to parent mixed kids, what will make them feel safe and seen and what will cause them harm and hurt. In an odd way I even feel more comfortable in my own skin and more appreciative of what I contribute to their sense of mixedness thanks to this course too. Sarah’s enabled me to trust in my instincts, recognise the white supremacy in myself and consider how we as a family can make a positive impact in our community. I’m happy and excited for the future! Thanks Sarah!

As a white mom to a white/black daughter, I thought I knew about racism and how to have my daughters back. I realized very quickly how clueless I really was. Indeed, Sarah has brought and accompanied me on a beautiful path of education, growth and humility. She has given me the tools and confidence to center and celebrate my daughters mixedness and plural identities in and outside our household. As a mono racial parent of a mixed child, I would say that taking the “Mixed Bloom Room for Parents” is a necessary act of love towards your child and yourself.

As a white mum of mixed Black/white boys growing up in a predominantly white area, I was feeling somewhat anxious about dealing with issues surrounding their mixedness. Sarah's approach to supporting me with that was exceptional. She challenged me to dig deep to identify issues, supported me to see the value I can bring and encouraged me to feel confident in the ways I can support our children. The Mixed Bloom Room course is already impacting on our family in such positive ways - by helping me have conversations about difficult topics with my sons, empowering them to celebrate their mixedness inside and outside of our home and encouraging me to advocate for them more within their educational settings.

I am so happy I took part in Sarah's Mixed Bloom Room for Parents and wholeheartedly recommend it to other parents.

Through the Mixed Bloom Room for Parents course, I learnt how to effectively centre and CELEBRATE mixedness in my household. Self-reflective work is not always easy; but Sarah provided a warm and supportive environment in which she readily affirmed what we were doing well; while encouraging us to challenge ourselves and delve deeper into complex topics. I now feel equipped to navigate conversations that may arise around my daughters' mixed identities with my family, my children’s school and, most importantly - with my daughters themselves. If, like me, you are a white parent of a mixed child, the work Sarah will guide you through in this course is of the utmost importance

Sarah’s course is an absolute must for any white parent of mixedrace kids. The journey I have been on in this short 8 weeks has been extraordinary and that’s down to Sarah’s teaching, the reflective practice she has brought out of me and the infectious joy she brings to each session. I’ve learned so much on both a practical and an emotional level on how to support and nourish my children and celebrate their mixedness in everything that we do. It’s been particularly humbling for someone who “thought she knew what to do” and then realised pretty quickly that there’s so much I still had to learn. Thank you Sarah!

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.
