Sarah French

healer & playmaker

Welcome to this site.

Hello hello!

Playfulness is what it’s all about.

Why play?

Because we let go.

Because our thinking stops.

Because we remember who we are.

And yes, because play heals. But is healing playful? What about my suffering and all of the suffering in the world? Perhaps our lack of playfulness is a symptom of our suffering. Healing – putting ourselves back together again – can be seriously playful, especially as we let go of what has limited us, and open our eyes to a brighter, more beautiful, free and possible world than we ever imagined.  

Please explore this site to learn about Spontaneous Wisdom offerings.

Current offerings at a glance:

1) Book a private session

I help you let go of what no longer serves you and embrace what does, so that it is easier to hear your own wise voice as you navigate challenge and change. I see you as your own best healer, whole rather than broken, a conduit of answers, insights and wisdom ready to be expressed. I support you to re-connect to the part of you that remembers and knows, the part that is ready for next steps! Our work together is energetic and can be quick, which does not preclude lasting change. Sometimes we’ll need to think outside the box!

Private sessions are for those who wish to experience new levels of freedom and move their lives forward, Single sessions or packages.

2) Receive daily energy support.

Imagine a wind at your back, increased focus and energized intention. The Daily Yes provides you with daily energy support designed to bring balance to body, mind and soul, and allow you to move forward with more self-empowerment and joy. The Daily Yes is for those who would like to deepen their self-care and self-discovery practices, inviting more awareness into their daily lives and anchoring meaningful change as they do.

It is likely that the Daily Yes will seem quirky, or possibly perfect ~ you’ll resonate one way or another when you read more about them on this site. The Daily Yes is a strong complement to deeper, ongoing work!

3) PLAY

Clowning may not be what you think it is. (Yes, clown!) In this case, it has little to do with entertainment and nothing to do with big shoes or throwing pies. The archetype of Clown can lead us into rich inquiry and discovery, revealing our playfulness as a powerful force in life. Playful clowning workshops are not therapy, yet offer a safe, enlivening space to celebrate ourselves and each other with curiosity, openness, and wonder. We explore shadow sides, as well as what delights us, drawing on listening and presence to lead us into fresh relationship with ourselves, each other and the world, And who doesn’t want to get to know their authentic self, and selves?

Workshops are for those who feel curious even if they don’t know what to expect and clowning was the last thing on their mind. There are no requirements other than a pinch of willingness to show up and see what happens!

Workshops can also be adapted for organizations of all kinds!

Note: Play sometimes leads to enhanced communication and rich discovery, unlocking creative flow and causing much joy...!

[In our sessions] Sarah introduced me to a brand new internal landscape, a true liberation! Her understated expertise in so many branches of healing from Shamanism to Ayurveda exquisitely synergizes into her magic way.
— AM, psychoanalyst
I thought this clowning business was all fanciful and play, but discovered very quickly that the clown has this vital role in our lives whether we realize it or not.
— JO, plumber and chiropractor
For me, [the Daily Yes!] was about holding space once a day in which to reaffirm one’s commitment to a greater purpose, to going deeper in one’s soul project and doing so in community.
— LG, writer and writing coach
