We had the good fortune of connecting with Sarah Doering and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sarah, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
The thought process behind starting my own business is being able to reach as many people as I can and not be limited by someone else’s rules and tasks

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am most proud and excited to launch my new reiki courses this fall! I travel to Guatemala in October for my first round of students. How I got to where I am today is knowing it’s okay to rest, when you rest and heal your body and mind you come out even more motivated and ready to start where you left off. Listening to your soul doesn’t feel easy sometimes because it can go against your ego who thinks it knows everything. Having a few good friends and a solid partner has helped me break through any limiting beliefs I hold as they are the sound board to my decisions when I am unsure of a solution. One thing I want the world to know is that life doesn’t have to be so serious, healing doesn’t have to be hard and you have all the answers I side of you. Embodied Essence is about embodying your true potential and living life liberated. Heal, let go & lighten up.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We would practice yoga at California Yoga Studio in Sylvania, OH. Grab a healthy snack after at Local roots. Take a walk at wildwood because they have the best trails! Go rock climbing at Adventus climb in Toledo. Paddle boarding in Ann Arbor. Kayak the Raisin River, check out any workshops/gatherings in the area. Head over to Whiteford Greenhouse and chat about plants with Cypress and have dinner at Souk downtown Toledo for their Mediterranean. Have coffee at Grinders downtown Toledo and also love Zanes Labenese in Sylvania and they have great coffees as well!
