Change Your Mind
About Anxiety℠
A 6-week therapeutic coaching group to calm the mind and feel more grounded in daily life.
Especially for people who understand themselves well, may currently be in therapy or who have completed traditional or trauma-focused therapy and still feel a gap between insight and their day-to-day emotional experience.
Is this you?
You feel overwhelmed by anxious thoughts.
You wonder why you don’t feel better, after all the work you’ve done.
You’re exhausted all day but can’t sleep at night.
You have a nagging feeling that something is very wrong with you.
You feel like nobody really understands what this is like.
You are in therapy (or have completed trauma-focused therapy) and still feel anxiety running the show in daily life.
You feel like anxiety is just something you’ll have to live with forever.
I believed that.
And many others
still do.
But it doesn’t have to stay this way.
That’s why I created

About Anxiety℠
“I had serious issues with anxiety, insecurities, body dysmorphia… Sally’s unique blend of techniques helped me shed so many layers of myself that have been holding me back.”
Over six weeks, you’ll build practical skills to interrupt anxious thought loops, calm your body’s energy, understand yourself more fully, and respond to stress with more steadiness and self-trust.
What’s Included in the Program:
6 weeks of guided support via the Owl’s Nest Groups platform
7 live group coaching calls on Zoom (75 minutes each, Wednesdays 6:00–7:15pm ET)
Weekly video modules released every Thursday
Check-in prompts and private journal reflections (homework questions included)
One private 1:1 coaching session (scheduled when you feel it would be most beneficial to you, up to one week after the program ends)
A small group setting for intimate support (max 12 participants)
“I walk away from every session with not only clarity but the tools and perspectives needed to make significant adjustments.”
My story
My approach to healing is rooted in both lived experience and professional training. My own history with anxiety and panic attacks led me to train in holistic approaches to trauma and emotional healing. I went on to create and direct a Complementary Therapy Program at a leading New York City victim services agency, working with survivors individually and in groups, using hypnosis, NLP, energy healing, auricular acupuncture, shamanic work and other holistic approaches.
Change Your Mind About Anxiety℠ brings together what I’ve lived, practiced and learned over more than 25 years of working with trauma and anxiety.

Is this program right for you?
The Next Step Call is a 30-minute Zoom conversation where we’ll talk about what you’re dealing with, what you’d like to change and whether Change Your Mind About Anxiety℠ is the right fit.
This program may be especially helpful if you already understand a lot about why you feel and react the way you do, but that understanding hasn’t stopped anxiety from taking over when it hits. Over six weeks, you’ll learn to catch anxiety earlier and develop practices you can use while it’s happening.
We’ll also talk about whether a group experience makes sense for you. A good group depends on the right mix of people and I want each participant to have the space and support to engage fully.
If I believe you’d be better served by individual coaching, a different kind of support or something outside the scope of services I provide, I’ll tell you directly.
“Sally has changed my life many times over. Her incredibly precise yet gentle guidance was exactly what I needed after a decade of floundering in & out of various talk therapy situations…”

The Six Modules
Week 1: Catch It Early
Mindfulness + BreathingLearn to notice anxiety closer to the moment it begins, before your thoughts have gathered enough momentum to pull you into a spiral. You’ll experiment with simple mindfulness and breathing practices you can use in everyday situations.
Week 2: Interrupt the Spiral
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT / Tapping)Learn a practical tapping technique for working with anxious thoughts, uncomfortable feelings, and the physical intensity that can accompany them. You’ll begin discovering how to use EFT when anxiety is actually happening.
Week 3: Get It Out of Your Head
JournalingExplore journaling as a way to move thoughts out of the endless mental loop and onto the page. You’ll experiment with different ways of writing that can help you notice recurring patterns, make room for what you’re feeling, and hear yourself more clearly.
Week 4: Change How You Meet Yourself
Self-Compassion + HaveningAnxiety is hard enough without adding criticism, shame, or frustration with yourself. This week introduces self-compassion and Havening practices that can help you respond to difficult moments with greater care and less internal struggle.
Week 5: Find Your Ground
Root Chakra BalancingExplore grounding through the lens of the root chakra, with practices designed to support a greater sense of stability, presence, and connection to your body when anxiety pulls you away from the present moment.
Week 6: Make It Yours
Reflect, Celebrate + Look AheadBring the pieces together. You’ll look at what has changed, identify the practices that work best for you, notice what you want to keep strengthening, and create your own approach for continuing after the program ends.
