Sarah DesJardins created the Souls at Play Equine Center to combine her life-long love and connection with horses and her life’s work to empower people to know their own value. She supports clients in discovering their life’s path; as people let go of false beliefs about who they are, they then come to know and experience their authentic self. Sarah wants people to reconnect with their deeper, creative selves so they may become aware of the gifts they are here to share with the world. Her wish is for people to know the uniqueness they bring and that the world is enriched by their presence.
Sarah DesJardins is an intuitive energy healer and horseperson who has been with horses for over 25 years and worked with her own horses for the last 10 years. Her work with horses has evolved as she has developed a knowledge and relationship with her Friesians and followed the work of such important, holistic horsepersons as Klaus Hempfling.
In her early thirties, following the sudden traumatic death of her husband, Sarah’s latent abilities to read animal and human conscious and subconscious energy surfaced. She found she could read both people’s and animals’ thoughts and feelings with a high degree of accuracy. The death of her husband also left her a single parent of her 8 year old son.
She has been working as a psychic counselor for over ten years, assisting people with trauma, loss, relationships, and a wide variety of emotional issues. Psychotherapists refer clients to Sarah, stating she identifies core issues quickly, hence dramatically reducing the length of time in therapy. Her abilities are easily intertwined with the energy work she was already naturally drawn to and doing with her own horses. Sarah has studied and worked for years to come to the point of interacting with her three large Friesians without any means of forcible control but rather her voice, a touch and energetic presence and guidance. This is a gift visitors to SAPEC will witness as they learn to trust their own energetic presence.
Sarah earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Medical Technology from the University of Kentucky and worked in the medical field for over 15 years. Her love of gardens and landscaping for over 20 years led her to create and own her own landscaping company, which she ran for more than five years. Her gardens were always created to “make people feel better” and promote healing for those that have suffered trauma and loss. Today, this passion for healing through nature is incorporated through the healing garden environment she is creating on the grounds of SAPEC. During her time as a professional landscaper, Sarah was commissioned to design and install a garden for the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital by benefactor Don Massey of the Joyce Massey Traumatic Brain Injury Center.
Adopted and a survivor of incest that included severe sexual, physical and emotional abuse, Sarah understands the process of healing from trauma. She is passionate about helping others heal, and lives an authentic, adventurous, creative and joy-filled life. It is Sarah’s dream to use her abilities and traumatic history to assist others in achieving a life as their truest and most joyful self; a state she has realized through healing from the past. Sarah’s horses have been part of her healing and the expression of her soul and self. Now, they are part of her world service to help heal others.
