I started out my adult learning journey at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, studying for my Ph.D. in Theological Ethics. During that time I also became a Certified Rolfer and spent five years studying psychodynamics and energy healing in NYC; I have been an avid student of personal and spiritual development my whole life.

My combined interests and training has supported my personal exploration of the human body and led me to develop an integral approach to the study of human anatomy.  

Over the past 27 years, I have led hundreds of hours of Hands-On Human Dissection Workshops in the laboratory. Through this in-person work, as well as keynote presentations and online programs, I have encouraged thousands of fellow "somanauts" to appreciate, explore, and embody the wonders of the human form.

The material available at www.gilhedley.com represents my current intention to bring Integral Anatomy to the world via online courses, presentations and content designed to cultivate a deeper experience and appreciation of the human form on the part of all who share an interest in the gift of the human body.

This episode is a little differnt.

It is actually an episode from a Podcast meant for OTs that I am putting here because I am the guest on it and I thought some of you might be interested to hear more in depth on how I work with people with chronic pain. 

https://otpotential.com/ceu-podcast-courses/pain-and-occupational-therapy

Our target audience is occupational therapy practitioners who are looking to learn about Pain and OT.  The educational level is introductory.

My interest in the body and health started in college where I studied dance and choreography at Bard College. My interest deepened with training in the Barbara Brennan healing science and my introduction to Reiki.  

While I love dance and the human form I had very little talent for dance and exhibited poor rhythm.  As a result, I left college to go to massage school.  In time, I graduated from the 1000-hour Finger Lakes School of Massage program in 2007 and continued my personal studies.

I became fascinated with connective tissue (fascia) and studied under a Rolfer ® for 2 years before attending Tom Myers’ program Anatomy Trains Structural Integration ®.

After graduating I continued to study with various students of Dr. Ida P Rolf.  But I wanted to meet more of my client’s needs, and went back to school (Utica College) to complete my BS and get a 69 credit MS in Occupational Therapy.

Since graduating in 2018, with my broader skillsets and the ability to accept insurance as payment, I’ve been able to help an ever-growing number of people in Central Vermont. 

I am continually fascinated with the human body and am currently studying the neuroscience of pain to help prevent and reduce chronic pain.

I currently enjoy hiking, dodgeball, and “doing circus tricks” with my 5-year-old.

Sarah’s passion is helping fellow OT practitioners translate evidence into daily practice. Sarah earned her BA in religion from St. Olaf College, then earned her master’s degree in occupational therapy from New York University in 2011.

Since then, she’s worked in numerous facilities, including a critical access hospital, an acute trauma hospital, and a state inpatient psychiatric hospital. Sarah is the founder/owner of OT Potential. Read more about OT Potential here.
