Sarah Desai

Sarah Desai is a coach for personal and spiritual development, a Spiegel bestselling author and a podcaster. She describes herself as a mindfulness and meditation coach based in Berlin.

In her work as a life coach and as a process facilitator of the trauma-healing method "Heile durch Erinnern", she supports people in dissolving mental blockades and encourages them to walk their own individual path toward self-realization.

Mindfulness is an important pillar of her work, and she sees it as reaching well beyond meditations and everyday exercises. When we face difficult situations, she says, we often run away, get tangled in our thoughts or keep running our own movie, instead of looking and feeling into what is really going on beneath the confusion and fear. For her, mindfulness means being attentive, looking closely and feeling closely. She works on this together with people in her Mindful Sessions and courses, offering inspiration and techniques that can be woven into everyday life, so that one can look inward with open eyes and feel inward with an open heart.

Her offerings include coaching, a training program called the Mindful Masters Academy, books, a card set and a podcast. Her wish, in her words, is that we fall in love with the fact of being alive.
