About The Founders
Satvik Energy Therapy and The Satvik Training School has been founded and is taught by Rev. Sarah Cox and Yvette Richards.
Sarah and Yvette met in 1993 whilst both pursuing their drive for personal development and spiritual growth. With the help of skilled counsellors, therapists and mentors both Sarah and Yvette have undergone their own journeys of personal awareness, healing and change. Below is a brief outline of their individual journeys:
Sarah
I began my working life as a 3 dimensional designer working in London for a large design company. It didn’t take me long to realise the life of high stress, deadlines and commuting was not for me.
Life finally bought me to my knees when my partner left me and my business folded in the recession of the early 90’s. It was a time to deeply re-assess my life and beliefs. I began intense counselling for several years and slowly began to regain my trust in the world and myself. I started and ran a photography business while I retrained as an Energy Therapist in 1997 with Yvette.
I opened my healing clinic in 1999 firstly in Chobham, Surrey and then in Brighton, Wimbledon and finally Somerset where I now live.
As a natural psychic I have always had many spiritual experiences which culminated in my decision to train in 2005 as an Interfaith Minister and I was ordained in 2007.
I am fascinated by the similarities in our human stories and beliefs and not the differences. My ministry work leads me to work with people from all faiths and traditions and also those of no faith leading ceremonies of weddings, funerals and blessings of all kinds. I also love to run workshops on angels and psychic development which help individuals to connect directly to source in whatever is the right way for them.

My healing journey began in 1990 when my marriage broke down and I realised I needed some professional help to deal with the pain and loss. I initially worked with a counsellor at Relate and, later, with an individual therapist to work on myself.
Having come from a family where many addictions existed, I began to understand my own addictive patterning and my codependency. My therapy and recovery began to transform my life into something more beautiful than I could ever have imagined. As a result, my atheism began to change into a lived experience of spirituality and my life continued to improve and blossom.
In 1997 I trained as an Energy Therapist and a year later developed a successful Energy Practice. I continued to explore my spiritual life; which included training with Mantak Chia. I studied Buddhism, Tai Chi and various different Meditation practices.
In 2002 I began to study A Course In Miracles (ACIM – which is a powerful spiritual programme) and in 2003 I trained with and began working for Relate as a couples counsellor. In 2006 I began my own private counselling practice, working with couples and individuals and specialising in working with addictions of all forms.
In the last few years I have been training with Byron Katie to facilitate a process called ‘The Work’ a powerful process to explore and dissolve our painful, stressful beliefs.
