Through the Shadowlands

You can book a Shadowlands Consultation ($45). If in that session we determine this program is a good fit for you now, you will be invited to sign up.  

If you’ve already done a consultation, you can email me at sara@sarabtaylor.com to initiate signing up or to ask any remaining informational questions.

I like to do good and efficient work and I’m sure you do too. The best way to know if it is worth investing in this work is to take a little bird’s eye view of things to make sure you have the foundations in place to be successful. This is why we start with the Shadowlands Consultation.

Based on your written reflection and our 1:1 time I will also be able to make specific recommendations and projections about what is going on, what you might be able to expect and what else you’ll need to do to get what you want.

Early on, there will be some additional time spent doing a bit of genealogical investigation.

The majority of change is initiated within your sessions, however, there will be practices that come out of many sessions that you’ll want to have the ability to incorporate into your life.  We make them as easy as possible to get down, often they only take a minute or two on a regular basis.

At the end of sessions, we’ll have time for you to write down the insights (often images or sentences) for you to continue to reflect on and contemplate as you allow them to influence your decisions in life.

That makes sense.  This is big work and does require that you have some coping tools already.  This is part of what we assess in the Shadowlands Consultation.  

If you’ve joined my email list you’ll also have access to seasonal single sessions and other low risk opportunities to see if we’re a good fit.

Trust your gut. It could be that another time is more appropriate or another practitioner. 

I believe that it is neither your responsibility nor a possibility to clear all your lineage’s trauma.  It’s one of those things that “takes a village”  over many generations, you know?  Instead, we focus on what you want and tackle what’s in your way, because it is the most effective, potent, and rewarding way to go.  What we do in this 6 months is set you up to have experience working with the relevant boulders on your path, so that when you come upon a similar stone later on you know what to do, or can get targeted help if you get stuck.

Depending on what you want, and how much generational trauma is behind you and how it’s been held, you may want to continue working with beyond this 6 months.  You can do this with single sessions or a 3 month container to help you continue to carry your fate with more ease. 

If you’ve already completed work with me that involved an extensive ancestral history (previously called “unbound”) I recommend continuation work through a 3 month container or a single continuation session.  

Just email me at sara@sarabtaylor.com to initiate or ask any informational questions you might have. 

As someone with a scientific mind, I sure would love to control all the outcomes.

I work with what is available to be seen in the lineage and that your body and internal wisdom present as ready to be worked with.  Sometimes the route is more circuitous than we might like, but I’m not here to force.  This in and of itself begins to rewrite old trauma patterns around boundary violations and stuck threat responses like freeze.  I do my best to always reflect where we are in a larger change process too, so you know what’s going on.  In addition, one of the first things we do is create milestones or evidence markers to know that what we are doing is having an effect.

Through this work, you will discover the deeper layers of patterns going on, and will have choices to make that open up new paths.  Sometimes folks don’t want to make those choices and I absolutely respect that. I will support you in your no and your yes.

So while I can’t make guarantees, we can really make sure it’s a worthy investment with a Shadowlands Consultation.  I can generally get a sense for what kinds of paces we’ll be working with and that helps us to create reality-based expectations for the work.

And if we start working together and find it really isn’t working or you have a major life change, we can part ways once the time I’ve invested into your case has been compensated.

 This is a good fit if most of the following are true:

• you’ve got some fight left in you.  I can’t make you want something you don’t want.
• you are able to be honest and not “do the right thing” based on what you think I expect or anyone else.
• you value the idea of generational healing, connecting with your lineage/ancestors, and leaving a legacy for others
• you want to deepen the ancestral influence on your calling or profession
• you are at a relatively stable place in your current relationships.  While some relational conflict is normal and fine, if you’re in the middle of a break-up or divorce we won’t make much headway in other areas, like your career.
• you are not using this work to make you money and fast.  This is absolutely not a get-rich-quick route.  I’d be highly suspect of anything that claims to be.
• you are not pregnant or in the 4th trimester, that is not a time for these shifts, with potentially rare exceptions.
• you have moved past the stage where the only way to feel okay about yourself is to throw your parents under the bus.
• you do not have a complex personal history of sexual or physical abuse.  This can absolutely be worked with, slowly, over longer periods of time. While I have been trained to work with these dynamics, I recommend that we try smaller steps into the work.  Single seasonal sessions (available if you are on my email list) may be a good place to start.
