Episode 78 - Sarah Shores: Clear Your Path

This week, Samantha talks with Sarah Shores, owner of Warrenton Wellness, a wellness center offering blue light therapy. Sarah talks about her journey from doing engineering work for the US Coast Guard, to contracting Lyme’s Disease, to starting her own business offering Blu Rooms in Warrenton, VA.

Sarah had a very active lifestyle running marathons and riding horses and spending a lot of time outside, but everything came to a halt when she discovered that the difficulties she was having physically could be attributed to Lyme’s Disease. This was all after seeing many doctors to diagnose her pain. Eventually, the pain and the fatigue got to the point that she couldn’t function using conventional medical methods.

At the time, Blu Rooms were only available on the West Coast, but she took a chance and decided to travel out there and try it out. She immediately felt relief of some of her symptoms and eventually decided she should open up a center here where she gets clients from all over the East Coast.

Sarah has come to understand that if it wasn’t for her Lyme’s, she wouldn’t be where she is today doing what she loves, helping people. She enjoys constantly exploring new areas in her own mind, including healing herself.

There is an analogy about neighborhoods that she shares with some of her clients. It is an analogy that is originally attributed to the founder of Blu Rooms, JZ Knight. She explains that the Blu Rooms allow a person to get away from their environments and gets them to a meditative state where they can get in tune with themselves and to a calm state where you are free of stress. This place where you can go in your mind can be seen as having a path to it that is there, but is overgrown with weeds. On the other hand, the stressful place we often find ourselves in our mind has a clear, paved superhighway that leads to it.

Now, she feels like she is able to make a difference in the world one person at a time by offering this blue light therapy that has been so helpful to her.

It’s worth a try to see if it works for you, according to Sarah. For her, it was worth a try and just from trying it she found hope. It’s a unique place that allows you to escape for a bit. A lot of times, we aren’t able to find the time or the place to escape and relax. It is a mental reset. Samantha then talks about her experience and what you can expect if you visit Warrenton Wellness.

So, how is Sarah doing today? Very well. She’s gotten back into exercising and has her energy back that she lost during her bout with Lyme’s. She will be 61 years old in 2021, but for her, that’s just a number. She’s got energy and she’s got too much she wants to experience to think about losing time. She’s creating her own path now and is getting back to the best version of herself she can be.
