Sari Terrusa, MS, LMHC
Sari’s work with traumatized, unattached children led her to study the nature of the unconscious mind and generational patterning.  Her post-graduate work includes certification in Eriksonian hypnosis, mental imagery, movement therapy, and psychodrama.  She has studied native cultures, Eastern religions and worked with shamans all over the world. 

Sari has integrated these innovative, creative and experiential teachings into a somatic psychological approach that she uses in her private practice.  This approach proposes that our cognitive understanding must communicate with the intelligence of the body and together help release the cellular imprinting of the past.  This intuitive, heart-felt awareness can help clear life-long depression and anxiety. 

She is the cofounder of the Institute with her husband, Jim.  Sari and Jim’s creation of
Transmutational Breathwork utilizes psychokinesiology, conscious connected breathing, and the five-stage ARFRI Technique making this form of breathwork well known and unique.  Sari and Jim have brought these tools to thousands throughout the United States, Russia, Europe and South America.Sari’s lively spirit and intuitive creativeness guide her work and play.  She has practiced mediation for 30 years, and her desire for truth and balance inspires all she does.  She lives with her husband and 8 year old daughter in Tequesta, FL.  Sari loves being a mother, traveling, creating art and beauty in her home and being out in nature.
