Move Beyond Survival.

Return to Your Authentic Self.

A somatic path for humans ready to reconnect with their embodied truth and live with clarity, presence, and choice.

What Makes This Work Different

This work is not about fixing you.
It is about remembering yourself.

Many approaches focus on understanding your experiences through thinking and analysis. While insight is valuable, lasting change often requires working with the body—where survival patterns are stored.

The SADR Method is different because it is body-led, trauma-attuned, and deeply personalized.

Welcome, I’m Leila

Hello, I’m Leila Sadr, born and raised in Tehran, Iran, and I immigrated to the U.S. at 21. I grew up in an overly religious household, which came with its own set of challenges—especially as a sensitive, expressive, and artsy child. From a young age, I pushed against the restrictions placed on me. I would remove my hejab at family gatherings and dance freely, using movement as a way to process the intense emotions I often carried.

It was through dance that I first began to express myself—and I vividly remember the curiosity in my mother’s eyes as she watched me move. She even wanted to learn from me. That moment gave me a confidence I had never felt before, and it encouraged me to keep sharing my love of dance with those around me💃🏽

In middle and high school, I began teaching different styles of dance to women in my community, and I started hosting peer circles at school—spaces where students could honestly share how they were coping with the academic and social pressures placed on us.

Looking back, the thread of my purpose was already woven through those early years. But it took me many more years—and a lot of deep trauma work—to recognize that truth clearly. Now, I see how every part of my journey has brought me into alignment with my purpose: guiding others back to their own truth through embodied healing, vulnerability, and connection.

Client Experiences

  • Her ability to support deep trauma work through her innate wisdom but with genuine lightness and humor is truly unique.

    I felt seen, heard, understood and deeply supported while working with her. The depth of knowledge she has from her own personal life experience and countless hours of training in trauma-attuned modalities makes her an incredible resource and facilitator. She has had a profound impact on my life in the most positive and healing ways. To me she is so over qualified to help others more than those with so many degrees because of her innate wisdom and life experience. She is a gift to this world and anyone who has the opportunity to work with Leila is truly blessed. 

  • My session with Leila was pretty transformational!

    If you are looking to work with someone who has the experience and training and ability to hold space for you through using multiple modalities, Leila is your coach! We began our session with grounding and moved into Partswork work next. I got really emotional and cried, which I wasn’t expecting because I was not feeling sad, but clearly my body and mind felt safe enough to go deep with Leila and clear out some old beliefs and create a space of safety from within. I fully trusted her to support me, and she just did an incredible job of holding space for me and allowing me to move through the exercises.

  • Leila is an incredibly compassionate and caring individual. She genuinely seeks to understand the root of your pain and collaborates with you patiently and graciously to find and test solutions.

    During my session with her, I confronted long-held resentment and trauma. Leila lovingly guided me through techniques to release tension from my body and helped me feel comfortable and safe in expressing my emotions-good and the ugly. Although it was only one session and one session alone isn't a cure-all, it marked a significant turning point in my healing journey. I highly recommend booking with her. She is deeply passionate about her work and strives to provide you with everyday tools to help you feel your best.
