In this deeply personal episode of Zen Gem, host Carolina sits down with Sarah Menniti, LMHC—a licensed mental health counselor, Reiki master, and trauma-informed therapist—to explore what it truly means to heal.
Together, they dive into the intersections of mental health, grief, nutrition, and spiritual practice. Sarah shares her own healing journey and discusses how modalities like EMDR, somatic parts work, nervous system regulation, and Reiki help guide clients back to wholeness. Through compassionate insight, Sarah emphasizes the importance of curiosity, emotional honesty, and honoring the body’s wisdom.
Listeners will gain insight into:
- The role of nutrition in mental health
- How somatic therapy and parts work facilitate deeper healing
- Recognizing and addressing burnout
- The importance of boundaries and emotional self-care
- Creating safe spaces for grief and emotional expression
Rooted in Polyvagal Theory and body-based practices, Sarah’s work invites us to reconnect to our own inner wisdom and shift from survival into thriving.
