Gabbie, Embodied OT Program Participant- 25-26

“Taking part in the Embodied OT course with Sarita Salone has helped me find my way back to myself as an Occupational Therapist. After being a stay-at-home mum for six years, I realised there was no simply "returning to work" — everything had to be different. I am not the same person I was six years ago, and this course has aligned perfectly with how I intend to practise when I begin again next year.

Learning about the nervous system, polyvagal theory, and a somatic approach has resonated deeply with me. We’re only halfway through the course, and already I’ve gained so many practical, body-based ways to support myself and others in regulation. The experiential learning has been a game changer, especially alongside other OTs. Developing a deeper understanding of my own nervous system — and learning how to up-regulate and down-regulate it — has given me the confidence to bring this awareness into my work with clients.

This approach will not be the only tool in my kit, but it will be the foundation for everything I do. Thank you, Sarita, for being the incredible leader you are and for so passionately sharing your knowledge and wisdom. This course is for any OT who wants to reconnect with their body, understand the science behind the nervous system, and enhance both their own and their clients’ wellbeing.”

“Sarita’s embodied practices have done the trick for me. I’ve genuinely reset, remembered my calm, and I’m seeing it in measurable ways—my blood pressure is coming down. I feel more resilient and more accepting in my caring role. Professionally, Sarita has given me a clear sequence to work with highly activated kids—meeting them where they are with movement, sound, and play, then guiding them into soothing. The recordings, printed slides, and practical tools mean I can apply it straight away.” (Note- stock image used)

“(Womens Rest, Reset and Rise retreat is) A day for the body, a day to rest the mind, a day to connect deeper with the heart, a day to inquire into the state of your mind - what might a rest, reset and restore day unlock for you? The personal outcomes are limitless when you gift yourself a day within the talented Sarita Sloane whose work , at the centre of it has the holistic best version of you as the ultimate outcome- it might be occupational therapy in all its guises, it might be breathwork, trauma informed somatic ( body) work, singing and breathing meditations, opening the creative restorative zones - what would be the perfect magic elixir to reset and restore your inner compass. When the opportunity comes, grab it and you will be so glad you did!

I highly recommend Sarita both in her professional role and as a fellow life traveller with her Yoga teaching.  My working environment is highly charged and working with Sarita is something I'm very grateful for as she is a beacon of calm, strength, audacity and quiet, reliable integrity.”

“The highlights of the "Rest, reset & rise retreat" were Sarita's effectiveness in providing relaxation, teaching practical tools, and creating a supportive connection space. I left feeling less stressed and more grounded, appreciating the nourishment of connecting with others, in a safe space, and finding life-changing benefits from the practices offered. I highly recommend you investing this time in your self care and experiencing transformational experiences, of deep relaxation and stress reduction. As well as learning practical somatic tools to implement into your everyday life."
