HeYamin Neshama is a practitioner of Magic who spent many years in study of energy work, spirituality, and the occult. An initiated witch, ordained Gnostic Bishop, and a teacher of Energetic Workings, leading people in learning their latent abilities hidden within their subtle bodies. He has been practicing Energy Work since the age of 19. The purpose of this is simple; “When I opened my heart chakra for the first time when I was 19, and the energy rippled out through my entire body, like a stone being thrown into a still pound, I realized something. We aren’t meant to find God here in the same way that religion teaches us, but God in ourselves. It’s about knowing you are more than you could ever imagine, more than we are taught we are. It is not that you can become it, but that you already are capable of it.”

Through intuitive guidance, spiritual activations, and Human Design insights, Sarah helps people see themselves from a higher perspective and gain confidence in the direction they are being called to walk.

Called to share her gifts after years of resisting the path, Sarah now works with individuals seeking deeper understanding of their purpose and spiritual abilities.
