Just what is a.. SAH?

This question has come up a lot since I shared my exciting news, so I figured let me let ya’ll in on the amazing ride that has been my life with Sah D’Simone and The SAH Method™

What most people don’t realize is that I am a performance artist first. Before anything in my life became a “oh she’s a (insert title of thing I was doing) I was a theater brat, singer, dancer and writer and I still am. When ever I begin to move away from my artsy side she sends out the sirens and something somewhere pops up for me to delve back into it. From graduating with honors in Shakespearean theater to writing a thesis on Poe’s work and psychology to singing the Star Spangled Banner (a Capella I might add! tyvm) live for my kids regional championship playoff game; performance is what makes me happy and what makes me tick. So when I met this very dynamic somatic dancer/teacher my soul said YES!! Attack!!

Being the obedient and dedicated servant to my path that I am, I did just that. I waited for everyone to stop asking questions and then jumped in front of Sah and said “I have to do this!! How do I do this??!! “ and he said “YES! Honey!! apply in August for my teacher training! Let’s go!” And the rest as they say….is history.

From August to December I watched documentaries, read articles, went to classes, danced, screamed, and cried. My Sangha of fellow trainees relied on one another for support, reassurance and some times even a good ol fashioned kick in the butt to keep going. This training was not easy, not for the faint of heart and definitely not for those who aren’t ready to get with the stories and move them out of the body. Just like anything else the art of to teach something, is very different from doing something with a teacher.

The SAH Method™ utilizes a bottom-up approach, in which the body and sensation are an entry point for healing. It addresses the emotions within us rather than the specific thoughts or memories connected to them. (sahdisimone.com) Things I thought were cleared, and healed ripped me apart. Tears over situations (ships) I thought were done fell once again. I was ripped apart to be made whole.

I dance and release and acknowledge and heal so that I don’t bring that with me to the next situation(ship). I trust my body and love her for all her jiggly bits, hurt bits, stretchy bits and wounded bits. I scream for the child, girl, woman who felt scared to scream. I take up space for the ones who come after me so they don’t go through what I did, and I teach the method so that those who feel trapped have a key to get out of their own way.
