Sabah Barake

Stress, anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, brain fog, poor sleep... these may be some of the reasons why you are here. If you feel like you are functioning on the outside but depleted and running on empty on the inside, then I can help!

My name is Sabah and I work with people who feel stuck in a cycle of stress, overthinking, exhaustion or emotional overwhelm, by using a combination of somatic practices, breathwork and sound healing to help you reconnect with your body, settle your nervous system and develop practical tools for managing everyday challenges.

Your body may be in survival mode and constantly in a "fight/flight/freeze" state that is causing you to move through life on autopilot, disconnected from yourself, unable to switch off or rest. If so, then you have come to the right place!

MY SESSIONS MAY BE RIGHT FOR YOU IF:

- You're constantly switched on and struggle to slow down

- Work stress is affecting your energy, sleep or wellbeing

- You feel overwhelmed or mentally overloaded

- You find yourself overthinking or holding tension in your body

- You're functioning, but feel exhausted underneath it all

- You want practical ways to manage stress

- You feel disconnected from your body

- You'd like a supportive space to pause and reset

THE STRUCTURE:

My sessions are gentle, practical and completely client-led. Depending on what you need, we may use:

1. SOMATICS - Connecting with the body and building inner awareness through gentle movement, touch, and the breath. Listening to the signals and sensations within the body.

2. BREATHWORK - Deep conscious breathing techniques to soften the body, release stress and tension, and gain clarity and focus. Focusing on how the breath moves through the body and clearing any blockages.

3. SOUND HEALING - Immersive sounds and vibrations from crystal and tibetan bowls (and other instruments) that travel deep within the body down to a cellular level to shift stagnant energy and emotions and promote deep rest.

WHY I DO THIS WORK:

Before becoming a wellbeing practitioner, I spent 15 years working in demanding corporate environments. I know what it's like to work in high-pressure environments, constantly be "on", and keep pushing through even when your body is telling you to slow down.

That experience led me to retrain as a holistic wellbeing practitioner in Indonesia and develop a different approach to wellbeing — one that brings together my corporate experience with evidence-informed wellbeing practices that help people slow down, reconnect and build greater awareness of how stress shows up in the body.

WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE:

1- Corporate background and experience in high performing (and demanding) roles: first hand insights into the struggles that organisations and their employees face.

2- Certified in multiple intensive trainings: obtaining the required knowledge and tools to provide impactful support for people in need of a lifestyle reset.

3- My own personal wellness journey: building awareness, resilience, empathy, and understanding around what many of us are going through on a daily basis.

READY TO EXPLORE HOW THIS CAN HELP YOU?

You don't need to know exactly what you need before getting in touch. Send me a message and tell me a little about what's been going on for you. We can have a short conversation about what you're looking for and whether my approach feels like the right fit.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Sound Healing

My approach is holistic, compassionate, and client centric. I believe that each person is unique and I tailor my sessions according to their individual needs. I strive to create a safe, non judgemental, consensual space where clients feel heard, understood, and comfortable to open up - there are no expectations or obligations during my sessions. My aim is not to tell someone how they should think or feel, but to support them in developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their internal world.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION:

1. We talk - We start by understanding what's happening for you and what you'd like support with.

2. We practise - I'll guide you through personalised somatic and breathwork practices based on what you need.

3. We reset - Where appropriate, we'll incorporate sound to help you slow down and settle, preparing the body for deep rest.

4. We develop - I'll also give you simple tools you can take into your everyday life.

My role is not to heal others, but to provide a safe and supportive space for them to process and release stored emotions and stagnant energy in any way that the body needs to. The client is always in control of their own journey!

I offer online and in person sessions (in East London).
