Massage Supervision in Abergavenny
I’m really excited to be planning a new massage supervision group in Abergavenny.
I’ve facilitated supervision groups in Bristol since 2004, after being approached by a subset of my first MTI Holistic Massage Diploma group. Such a joyful way to continue sharing my love of massage, supporting practitioners as they develop into the therapist they’re destined to be.
Now that I live in South Wales, it just makes sense to start a group there, and Abergavenny is a truly beautiful and gently bustling location.
If you are interested, please get in touch. You can message me via this website, email me directly at sarah@sarahhoare.co.uk or call or txt me on 07976 710368.
If you’re not sure what I’m on about, you can read more about supervision and mentoring here…
Thanks, Sarah x

Vessels of Honour
Listening to Oprah’s podcast again, this time with Tim Storey, I’m struck by his phrase, “a vessel of honour”. Those who know me will know my love of words. I love how words sound together, how they conjure up images and feelings, and how the right words at the right time can elevate us to lighter moods and higher outlooks.
So, today I’m being a vessel of honour. And it feels great. To me it means that I set aside my doubts and concerns, my self-pity and my fears, and I fill myself with optimism and possibility. I ask, “What if today was going to be a great day? What if I could let things be easy? What if I could shine like the star I am from now til dusk? What if this blog could pretty much write itself as I allow myself to rise above the fear of judgement and the risk of failure?
Being a vessel of honour asks me to stand a little taller and breathe a little deeper. But it’s not just that. Being a vessel of honour calls me to awaken within and let my heart fully open into the moment. Connecting with my honour stirs my courage. Connecting with my honour reminds me that I have gifts to share and help to offer.
It’s with this openhearted courage that I invite you to the next stop on the Tribe of Thrive train.
If you want to get on with living and thriving; If you need to get unstuck; If anxiety’s holding you back; this 4 week evening class is for you.
A neuroscience-driven, fun and transformative way to get inspired, get focused, get confident and get on. You just need to get booked in. Full details are on my website.
All vessels of honour are welcome. And I’m excited to share this time, this learning and this opportunity with you. Contact me to reserve your place.
Every Good Act is an Expression of Love
I feel humbled several times a day.
Today, as I ran through Horfield Common, listening to Malala Yousafzai talk to Oprah (on SuperSoul Conversations podcast), I was brought to tears.
Malala ignites in me a magnificent sense of awe and wonder at the strength, courage and potential that lies within us as humans. The power of intention. The majesty and the ministry of love.
Every good act on the planet is an expression of love. To be of service to others, and therefore to the world, is to make love manifest.
Malala’s path is to bring education to every girl. Mine feels twofold… to inspire fellow practitioners towards effortless excellence and to ease everyone towards wellness.
I want to live in a Tribe of Thrive. Do you want to join?
Soul Massage: Tender Phoenix Heart Part 2
As meditation continues, my experience of my heart keeps evolving. Writing about it feels helpful to me. The discipline of selecting and combining the most appropriate words to outwardly express an inner experience is challenging and fun somehow. Publishing the words feels like a positive thing too. An owning. A sharing. Letting myself be seen. (Eek!)
Soul Massage: Tender Phoenix Heart
Recently I’ve been meditating more and bringing tender presence to my heart. Images and feelings have been coming up and I’m receiving them with loving compassion. This poem captures the essence of it so far. 
Back in Business 2017 – Get Your Sessions Booked
After a solid spell of kneehab, rest and recuperation, I’m delighted to be returning to work in January 2017.
Initially I will be available for massage sessions and hypnotherapy treatment on Tuesdays and Fridays from 10th Jan, at The Healing Rooms, Gloucester Road. Please get in touch if you would like to book in.
Sessions will be in limited supply while I build my stamina again, so I will be operating an active cancellation list – perfect if you are unable to get booked in, but available at short notice if a slot becomes free. Do ask about this when you get in touch via 07976 710 368 / sarah@sarahhoare.co.uk.
Looking forward to working with you soon.
Happy New Year,
