Spiritual Care Practitioners
SARAH SIEGEL
Holistic Coach, IFS Institute Level 2 Practitioner and Interfaith Chaplain
Sarah Siegel is an Integration Specialist and Spiritual Care Provider, bringing a deeply humanistic, contemplative, and trauma-informed approach to her practice. Her work is anchored in the foundational belief that every human being possesses an unharmed, inherently wise and whole essence as the most fundamental aspect of who they are—a principle that mirrors the core teachings of the Dharma and shapes both her professional integration offerings and her personal, decades-long Vajrayana Buddhist practice.
​
An ordained Interfaith Chaplain, certified Holistic Coach, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practitioner, Sarah specializes in psycho-spiritual integration, trauma recovery, and navigating the complexities of the inner landscape after profound or non-ordinary experiences. Her expertise in these realms has led her to serve as a faculty member of the Chaplaincy Institute of Maine and to co-present at the IFS Institute conference. Deeply grounded in both professional leadership and lived experience, she comes to this work through the necessity of her own lived journey of healing from complex PTSD and addiction, including navigating spiritual trauma within previous sanghas. This lived experience infuses her integration care with deep empathy, and a fierce commitment to supporting others in reconnecting to their own, innate wisdom.
Sarah’s diverse background also includes extensive training in traditional indigenous wisdom as an initiated Bwiti practitioner. She is the co-founder of Bassé Root Church, a non-profit sanctuary dedicated to the exploration and practice of the Missoko Bwiti tradition in the United States, and serves as the Director of Integration at Root Healing, regularly guiding and supporting individuals in connecting to the sacrament of Iboga through engagement with the Bwiti tradition.
​
In addition to her organizational leadership, Sarah is a mother of three, a lover of the natural world, and the founder of Waking Wisdom Within, a thriving private practice based in Falmouth, Maine. By thoughtfully weaving together deep listening, attuned presence, and spiritual guidance, Sarah holds a safe, nurturing space for individuals to translate their profound and mundane experiences into everyday wholeness, resilience, and authentic, embodied self-compassion.

IFS is a profoundly gentle, non-pathologizing, inherently client-centered tool for coming into deeper relationship with the complexity of our being, healing from trauma and experiencing a greater sense of wellbeing on many levels. Additionally, it can be a very effective method for deepening one's personal relationship with Dharma practice through discovering, welcoming and getting to know different "Parts" of one's self that often show up through the process of walking an authentic spiritual path as well as familiarizing oneself with "Self Energy" that IFS believes is the most fundamental, healing resource available to us
