I am a qualified yoga teacher based in Omarama.
About Me
Hey beautiful soul!
I’m Sabrina—the heart behind Sacred Healing Journeys,
a space born from my own deep journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation.
Before founding Sacred Healing Journeys, I worked as an Environmental Engineer, and after moving to New Zealand in 2016, I became a professional gliding instructor. I spent several years teaching people from all over the world to fly safely in the Southern Alps—ranging from ab-initio training for first-timers to advanced mountain soaring skills for experienced pilots.
​
Having always been interested in alternative and holistic healing modalities, I made the decision in 2023 to change careers once again—this time to align my personal healing journey with my professional path. Since then, I’ve pursued a 400 hr Diploma in Psychology and Counselling, a 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training, and a 100-hour Trauma-Informed Yin Yoga Facilitator Training, which I now combine with over 1,000 hours of teaching and facilitation experience across various areas of my personal and professional life.
​With a lifelong love for the outdoors, I’m rarely inside on a sunny day — whether it’s snow, water, or wilderness. These days, my daughter often joins me on these adventures.
The Birth of
Sacred Healing Journeys
Born from my lived experience with postpartum PTSD and anxiety, my work is guided by a heartfelt desire to walk alongside others
on their unique journey—
offering practical, empowering tools
for emotional resilience, self-nurture, and sustainable growth.
After becoming a mother in 2021, I found myself navigating the overwhelming and terrifying challenges of trauma—nightmares, flashbacks, dissociation, destructive thoughts and behaviours, as well as panic attacks, ruled my life to the point where I no longer recognised or understood myself. With the support of professional counselling and a return to yoga—a practice introduced to me in childhood by my mother—I began to rebuild and take charge of my life. Counselling helped me make sense of my experiences on a mental level and taught me healthier ways of thinking, while yoga allowed me to reconnect with my body—becoming aware of physical sensations, my breath, and how they related to what I was feeling. It was this powerful combination of talk therapy, journalling, and yoga that turned my world around. It is now my heartfelt desire to share the tools and insights I’ve gained through my own experience in this unique approach—which combines written self-coaching, yoga, and meditative practices—in the hope that they may help others.
​
Thank you for being here—I look forward to being by your side on your unique journey toward empowerment, nurture, and growth.
My Values
We are all powerful beings—far more than we often give ourselves credit for.
I believe we are all capable of growth, making changes, improving our current situation to create a more fulfilling and nurturing life that aligns with our values.
Honouring You
My approach is holistic and not a one-size-fits-all model. Every journey is unique, and my offerings are designed to honour your individual needs and wishes. I work with the whole person, embracing all layers of your being and life story.
Accessible to Everyone
It is my heartfelt belief and desire to make transformation accessible to everyone—regardless of financial situation, location, age, body, or background.
Creating Long-lasting Effects
I don’t believe in quick fixes. True change takes time, willpower, perseverance, and courage. That’s why I focus on creating long-lasting effects—offering tools and practices that empower you far beyond a single session.
Practical Transferable Tools
These are practical, transferable tools— skills learned on the yoga mat and carried into daily life, helping you navigate challenges with more ease, clarity, calm, and confidence.
