My Story

Hello! My name is Sara Jean Mcphee and I am an Ayurvedic Heath Councilor Intern and founder of Give Blessing. I serve clients locally in Humboldt County California as well as all over the United States and in the United Kingdom. My Mission as an Ayurvedic Practitioner is to provide my clients with the tools and guidance necessary to bring the body and mind back to a state of harmony and create an optimal state of balance for the body to promote healing.

When I graduate from the California Collage of Ayurveda in 2022, I will set out to provide an online experience of health guidance. With our world being wracked with the pandemic I see a need for a new form of health care. People are trapped in their houses and unable to meet in person due to restrictions. That doesn’t have to be the case. We can still be safe at home while having open communication to the world. It is through the platform of Zoom that I offer face to face meetings for all my clients. Bringing myself into your home through the internet. It is a brand-new world we now live in and it is my vision to help, all who are willing, to live it in a healthy and balanced way.

I grew up in a rural area of northern Indiana. Raised on the typical American diet and Christianity, I found myself lost in the world without direction by the time I was 20. With no sense of what I wanted or who I wanted to be, I became lost and unbalanced. I found Reiki when I was 23. Through Reiki I found a calling to help people feel better. I was drawn to the uses of essential oils, reflexology, and herbs. But before I could get any certifications in these areas I fell ill. At the age of 26 I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and was told I would have to lose my right ovary because I had a tumor the size of a lemon surrounding it. I had already lost my gaul bladder 6 months prior to the partial hysterectomy. This was my awakening. I feel blessed every day that my doctor said to me, “Change your diet and change your lifestyle.” I took his words to heart. I moved to northern California and changed my diet to plant based. I studied herbs of the pacific west and started living a more wholesome lifestyle. I was cancer free within a year.  I know now, more than ever before, that I wanted to share my experience with others.  So, I started saving up for message courses. I studied 100hrs of sweetish message at Harbin School of Healing Arts. But before I could continue my education further an unfortunate fire occurred, and Harbin burnt down. A few years later I decided to pursue my message education in Thailand. Weeks before I was scheduled to sign up and go, my husband and I became pregnant. This really made me think, am I meant to do something else? Then a year later while we were visiting family in England, I was helped to realized that counseling is the direction for me. I had known about Ayurveda for a few years now, but it was the realization that I could use my skills as a communicator and energy reader to guild others on their path to optimal health that lead me to continue my education as a Ayurvedic Health Counselor. During my education I took it upon myself to use the 5 sense therapies of Ayurveda to bring my body and mind to optimal health. It was quite a journey and discovery of myself. I lost all the old ways of living that were no longer serving me and gained a whole new outlook on life. I found health and joy!

I am now living my optimal life. I have a beautiful and vibrant daughter and a very supportive husband. I live in a beautiful community of like-minded people and enjoy my life and my health completely. I want to show you the way to have this optimal joy yourself. It is an honor to be a messenger for the wisdom of Ayurveda. To every single person who comes under my care, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your trust and faith.
