About me

An ‘about me’ felt important to write because I can’t imagine wanting to have a reading with someone who you know nothing about and as readings can be very personal I believe it’s only right that I should be as personal as I can be with you.

So, ‘about me’. My name is Sarah, I’m 43 years old and I have a 17 year old son who keeps me feeling simultaneously young and old, young in that I know current music and fashion trends, old in that he frequently exclaims ‘oh wow you were around for that?!’ a-hem thanks son.

I count myself lucky, my childhood in the 80’s was a combination of ‘playing out’, roller skating, Saturday morning cartoons, music and what seemed like eternal summers. I had a mum who stuffed our flat with plants, crystals and books and played Carlos Santana and Jimi Hendrix. Reading, story writing and creativity were encouraged and making a mess with glue, paints and felt tip pens was never frowned upon. Aside, from when aged 4 I ‘creatively’ cut a fringe with my favourite Lion shaped scissors, sorry mum!

Cut to my awkward but fun teen years in the 90’s, using Sugar Magazine’s free tarot card deck to find out if I’d meet my crush in my local park, (not sure how I expected actor Paul Nicholls to be walking around my neighbourhood but someone said they once saw Ant & Dec near our estate so I lived in hope). My newly bought Betty Bethards dream book was my obsession. I’ve been a prolific dreamer since as early as I can remember and I found immense security in deciphering my dreams using Betty’s interpretations the next morning. I continue to delight (and potentially bore) people around me with my dream updates, the horrors of the ‘giant half spider - half sloth’ creature on a London bus and the one where Ryan Gosling, who (whilst dressed as an 80’s rock star) tried to ‘comically’ murder me which was quite hilarious to tell - although not experience. It’s ok, I forgive you dream Ryan.

In my late teens, I attended Art School for 2 years. I had a love-hate relationship during my time there. I enjoyed spending time with the friends I’d made, taking life drawing classes and travelling to Paris and Amsterdam in ‘98 and ‘99 but imposter syndrome ate away at me every day. I never felt good enough and I can honestly say there was only one project in which I confidently threw myself into and even then I didn’t complete it till the last minute. Looking back I wish I was braver and more assured in my creativie style but sometimes these things take time and in my case they definitely did.

My entire twenties and early thirties were a pretty dark time. The universe decided to show me how resilient I could be. There were good times dotted throughout the years. The birth of my son was an absolute beacon of light. After a long period of darkness and realisation, I faced my trauma and began a journey to heal, a journey that was accompanied by the moon, the sun, crystals, astrology, self help and laughter.

Now to all the wonderful things I hope you are interested in lovely reader and that’s why you’ve read this far (thank you!). I intrinsically believe positive energies and frequencies vibrate throughout the universe. I believe they manifest into our lives as tools to help us become our authentic selves. Astrology, crystals, the movement of the moon and planets, frequencies, and all the extraordinary people (shout out to my partner) who weave in and out of our lives. From the age of 11 to this day, I’ve been someone people confess their fears and secrets to, I never judge, maybe they need an ear, advice or both. I always hold out hope and positivity for those around me.

I can now say that after many years of asking ‘why me, why us?’ I fully believe I navigated a life full of happiness turned turmoil and back to happiness again in order to find my way onto this journey of enlightenment and to help lift and support others. Using astrology to acknowledge where I was holding trauma and where my success lay changed my life and I fully believe it can help you navigate your way too.

So, welcome to Hush & Hum. See what speaks to you. I’m here for the journey, with a smile, an ear (two) to listen and enlightenment to hand. It’s truly an exciting new beginning, be brave and believe in yourself, embrace change and the universe will recognise and reward you.
