Meet sara

Sara Fakih is a Trauma-Informed Somatic & BodyMind Coach, Embodiment Facilitator, and founder of Sambaddha-The Practice: a structured somatic methodology that fuses movement, breath, voice, and emotion into a ritual of reclamation. Her work invites others into nervous system healing, emotional alchemy, and deep embodiment.

With over 1,000 hours of yoga teacher training and extensive study in somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, and body–mind integration, Sara brings a depth of knowledge anchored in lived experience. Her work is shaped not only by her training; but by her personal journey through trauma, shame, survival patterns, resignation to life, and a painful disconnection from her own body and truth.

Devoted to helping women heal their nervous systems, break free from self-sabotage, and return to their most authentic, wild feminine essence, Sara creates sacred spaces where embodiment becomes the path to liberation.

Often described as a Modern Medicine Woman, Embodied Empowerment Guide, and Liberation Mentor, Sara’s work weaves ancient wisdom with somatic intelligence and nervous system education. She guides women - especially those who lead - into deep spaces of truth-telling, emotional reclamation, and embodied power. Where rage is sacred. The voice is a channel. And the body becomes the compass home.

Through her signature Sambaddha somatic certification training, ecstatic dance journeys, ceremonies, sound-based practices, and her deeply held 1:1 Reclamation containers - a somatic body–mind journey for women who lead - Sara supports the dismantling of unconscious cycles and the reclamation of power from all the places it’s still being given away.

Her mission is clear:

To be a space where women remember who they are; beneath performance, people-pleasing, and protection.

To return them to their innate body wisdom, feminine power, and emotional truth.

To normalise somatic healing as a core foundation for leadership, embodiment, and a thriving, liberated life.

This work isn’t just a practice; it’s a reclamation.

A remembering.

A return.

    "couldn’t be more positive about the sessions that I had with Sara. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I found Sara’s approach to be refreshing. I loved the familiarity of breath work/ meditation/ mindfulness/ somatic practices and body/mind enquiry to help anchor me. I was fascinated as I noticed things physically move and how certain feelings/ memories resided within my body. 

    I think most importantly I felt safe. I was surprised at how I was able to talk quite openly, peel away layers of myself, and revisit parts of me that haven’t been revealed for years. In just three sessions I learnt so much about “who” I am, and “why” I am. I also appreciated the work that was asked of me after the sessions (going for a walk, doing something for me, meditation) as it helped me process things that were brought up in consciously healthy ways. Finally, through being challenged to sit with discomfort I developed a more compassionate awareness of myself and started a process of managing trauma and guilt and my own self sabotage from a healthier perspective. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough"

    "The right person comes along at the perfect time. I truly believe that and it was once again proven true for me when I started working with Sara. Why now? I don't know. Call it instinct? Guidance? A month after we started this work, I realised that we were working through what was for me (I know I'm not alone) one of the most difficult and challenging times on this planet globally. Pushing every single one of my triggers in the most painful way. The perfection of doing  this work with Sara, at this time, knowing what our surface human identities might call from us, was not lost on me.


    I embarked on this incredible journey taking a deep look at everything that was there. That's the beauty of this work. Sara gently reflects everything back to you so that you literally have to sit with yourself. And you know what? It's not actually that scary. What IS scary is to continue believing we have no agency and are slaves to our own stories. THAT is scary.

    I've done therapy before. Lots of it. But in therapy I always stayed in my head, and I realise the head cannot heal me the way my body knows how to. Sara has the incredible sixth sense of knowing when you've jumped into your head and pretty soon you learn to recognise it too. I learned that my body always knows exactly what to do and how to heal and that my mind will try it's hardest to keep me from the body and that deep healing. 

    Having another human witness the stories my mind makes up really helped me disentangle myself from them. What I love is that Sara never suggests or insists. I aways felt everything was coming from me. You can't think your way through this because the sessions aren't planned, they're intuitive. I was being guided to heal myself and take responsibility for my own healing. She creates a space where every part of you feels like it can come out and be explored. All of the bits I tried to shame into submission came out to play. It was painful, exhilarating, empowering and incredibly healing all at the same time. Powerful work, essential for every single human on this planet ”

    Reclamation course & coaching:

    "It's safe to be seen, it's safe to share your voice, it's safe to be yourself!”

    If you have seen her work I encourage to take that call as it will transform your outlook on life. 

    Sara is a remarkable woman, if I was to describe her in three words: empowering, courageous and empathetic to an unfamiliar level. I consider her presence in my life purely from divine timing, I was lost in seeking deep connection with life and people in general and she just appeared in my insta reels. 

    From the first moment of speaking with her she ignited a core desire to make a change; not just in life but within me as a woman. I’ve been connected to Sara for over 6 months and my journey has been enlightening; I’ve found the courage to face factors I’ve been hiding from and grow my true authentic self. 

    Sara truly is a gift; a genuine warm caring person who manages to carve a piece out of her soul to guide anyone who chooses to journey with her. I will be joining her again on the next reclamation course and hope to continue on each path she takes.

    Sara, People are waiting for you. 

    They're waiting to be activated by your voice, they're waiting to be healed by your medicine, they're waiting to be inspired by your story and guided by your soul wisdom. You didn't come here to dim and play small, you came here to be in your highest, fullest, most authentic expressions."

    Reclamation course:

    "Someone can only take you as far as they have met themselves and she definitely has. She continues to do so. I admire the way she is able to hold herself and take us on our own deep journey while knowing that she is at the end of that baby strap holding us as we explore our own episode of The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe. Just like a movie, the soundtrack is always, always on point. 

    How can I go through an entire beginning, middle and end in a few sentences? It's not possible and that is what happens in each and every one of Sara's offerings. The dance through your beginning, middle and end but as I said, she continues to see herself so have a tug on that safety strap as a check in and continue the ride.

    Sara is releasing the 2nd round of her course, 'Reclamation'. If there is any part of you that wonders, I encourage you to sign up. Otherwise, experience her playful side with one of her epic Flow Dances that will get you into your version of embracing Sandra Bullock in The Proposal where she dances round the fire to Get Low by Lil Jon. 

    Thank you Sara, for everything x "

    Reclamation:

    "My biggest revelation was knowing how through dance I was able to open and release deep emotions.

    After one session where we focus on heart, I released my fear of loving and feel loved, true love the kind of love that you experience when you young and then heartbreak happens and you shut down and move to life and you forget the freedom you had when you feelings were pure from your core! 

    It’s wonderful now to feel my heart and share my love"

    "I took part in Sara’s new signature somatic class yesterday and it really was so beautiful. The class consisted of Yin Yoga, Breath Work, Mandala Vinyasa, Dance and Meditation. Sara took us through all the elements of the universe - Earth, Air, Water and Fire. I felt like I was on a journey, it was so powerful. We synchronised our bodies through nature which was amazing! The practice really helped me to get out of my head and into my body, I was able to forget about my day, let go and connect into myself; feeling and getting rid of any stagnant energy and trapped emotions which in return made room for the flow of abundance. It was a beautiful finish where I felt replenished, nourished and simply peaceful. I would highly recommend this class! It’s actual therapy!"

  • Amy

    I have been attending Sara's Sambaddha class regularly for over a year now. I absolutely love the energy of this class. Each week we are taken on a journey through the elements with a focus on one - water, earth, fire and air. This class incorporates so much, spiritual healing,  great deep yoga poses, openings, sound, movement, freedom, breathwork, as well as fantastic music.

    Sara is an outstanding teacher who always gives so much, she radiates energy, warmth and light and is there to support you no matter which level you are at, beginner, advanced or anywhere in between. I always leave this class feeling energised, strong, grounded and connected. I have met and made some amazing friends here, there is a real sense of community going on. 

    I highly recommend this class to everyone. Whether you are starting out on your healing journey or looking to go deeper into your practice. It is truly an uplifting experience on many levels.
