Sarah Veall, Transformational Coach
Who is Sarah Veall?
My name is Sarah Veall, and I’m a holistic transformational coach, inner child practitioner, Reiki practitioner, and former equine therapist.
When I changed careers and completed a postgraduate qualification in Business and Personal Coaching eleven years ago, I had no idea the journey of self-discovery it would lead me on. In my early days of coaching, I focused on asking powerful questions to help clients reflect and raise awareness of what they could do differently to create positive change.
At the time, however, I had very little awareness of what was happening within my own body or of the unconscious programming that drives so much of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
Everything began to shift in 2018 when I retrained in Equine Facilitated Coaching, working with horses to support individuals in healing and personal growth. As part of that training, I undertook a year-long therapeutic and healing process. During that time, I began to understand the deep connection between the mental, emotional, physical, and energetic aspects of the self. I also started to uncover limiting beliefs and hidden parts of myself buried in the shadows of my unconscious mind, parts I had ignored or rejected.
That experience redirected me onto a profound journey of healing and reconnection with my whole self. I immersed myself in a holistic approach to wellbeing, exploring practices such as Reiki and energy healing, meditation, kinesiology, homeopathy, and yoga. These practices supported me through some of the most challenging experiences of my life, including the death of my mother and the breakdown of my marriage.
Just as my life appeared to be entering a new chapter, I received the biggest shock of my life, a cancer diagnosis in 2020.
The diagnosis shattered the foundations of who I thought I was. Looking back, I realize those foundations had been built on a mentally constructed identity shaped by limiting beliefs and perceptions I had learned to believe. In many ways, the diagnosis forced those foundations to break apart so I could rediscover the deeper truth of who I really am.
As Paulo Coelho writes in one of my favorite books, The Alchemist: "Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place."
Through this experience, I came to believe deeply that the body is a self-healing organism. Our cells are constantly regenerating, and when the right conditions are created, the body naturally seeks balance and healing. We are not separate from nature, we are nature. A holistic approach to healing supports the body in returning to homeostasis, where the immune and lymphatic systems can function effectively.
Further training as an Inner Child Practitioner and in Transformational Coaching with Body Wisdom deepened my understanding of trauma and how, if unprocessed, it can become stored within the body.
My research into quantum physics also reinforced the idea that everything is fundamentally energy. Einstein’s famous equation, E = mc², shows that energy and matter are interchangeable forms of the same thing. This perspective reminds me that our potential extends far beyond the physical world we can see.
Yet modern life often reinforces the belief that we are not enough. Our fast-paced, information-saturated world constantly tells us we must do more, achieve more, and be more. These messages disconnect us from our inner wisdom and leave us feeling disempowered.
What sets your coaching approach apart from others in the industry?
My approach is holistic and focuses on working with the whole self, the mental, emotional, physical, and energetic aspects of a person. Through my own healing journey, I began to see how old stories, limiting beliefs, and unconscious patterns had kept me stuck in my head, overthinking and analyzing, while disconnecting me from my intuition, my heart, and the wisdom of my soul.
Like many people, I had absorbed beliefs that parts of me were not lovable or enough. These beliefs shaped behaviours in which I suppressed my emotions, silenced my truth, and avoided vulnerability.
True healing required me to bring those unconscious patterns into awareness, create space to feel and release emotions, and rebuild a relationship of safety and trust within myself.
What are the most common challenges your clients face, and how do you help them overcome these obstacles?
Many of the clients I work with feel disconnected from their true essence from their heart, their soul, and their intuition. They often find themselves attached to stories and beliefs they have learned about themselves over time, which no longer serve them.
These beliefs can keep people stuck in patterns of fear, self-doubt, or emotional dysregulation. They may feel disconnected from themselves, uncertain of their direction, or unable to fully trust their own inner guidance.
In our work together, we gently explore these belief systems, identifying which ones are supportive and which may be limiting their growth. By bringing these unconscious patterns into awareness, clients can begin to release unhelpful narratives and reconnect with their inner wisdom and authentic selves.
What key strategies do you use to ensure your clients achieve lasting transformation?
At the heart of my work is relational connection and creating a safe and supportive space. When people feel safe, they are able to connect with emotions that may have been suppressed for many years.
I support clients in recognizing and releasing stuck emotional energy, what I often describe as “energy in motion.” When emotions are acknowledged and expressed safely, they can move through the body rather than becoming blocked.
Practices such as mindfulness, body awareness, meditation, energy work, and emotional release techniques support this process. My role is to guide clients as they reconnect with their own inner wisdom and create new, empowering beliefs that align with who they truly are.
What results can your clients expect after working with you, and how do you measure their progress?
The outcome of this work is often a deeper sense of connection with the self. Clients frequently describe feeling more aligned with their heart and soul, more able to trust their intuition, and more at ease within their own bodies.
When people release limiting beliefs and emotional blockages, their whole system can return to a state of balance and flow. From this place, wellbeing naturally improves, and people often experience greater clarity, resilience, and self-trust.
Healing begins when we reclaim our power when we release limiting beliefs, question the stories we have inherited, and learn to love every part of ourselves.
I’m not a scientist, doctor, or quantum physicist. But through my experiences, learning, and research, I have rediscovered the wisdom of my body, listened to the truth within my heart, and created beliefs that empower rather than limit me. As a result, I now experience a deeper sense of balance and wellbeing than ever before.
