If you are living with traumatic grief, loss, ptsd or secondary trauma, you have come to the right place.

We are so sorry you are here. We know this is the hardest journey you will ever face, but you are not alone.

We get you.

And although our pathways may be different, we are on the same journey to find a way to live and to be at peace with our grief.

Hi, we are Julie & Mark Wallace, we have founded Sarz Sanctuary in honour of our daughter Sara Zelenak who was murdered in the London Bridge and Borough Markets terror attack, 2017. To find meaningful purpose we now devote our lives to helping others navigate their own personal grief journey through Sarz Sanctuary.

Sarz Sanctuary brings together liked-experienced people to support, connect and collaborate through our safe and moderated community forum. We also host evidenced-based healing practitioners offering support through traumatic grief, loss, ptsd and secondary trauma.

Our web/app is now open for founding members and practitioners to connect & collaborate with liked-experienced people who understand.

First 6 months FREE.

Coming soon:

  • A host of evidenced-based healing practitioners

  • Practitioner resources including courses, webinars, podcasts, workshops, blogs, articles, factsheets, and live events

Love & kindness,

Julie & Mark Wallace

Help to Heal is our guidance compass helping you to explore Mind-Body-Spirit-Soul.

This is where the world of healing comes to you. Help to Heal offers the support, connection and knowledge that will ensure you can explore the many different modalities of Mind-Body-Spirit-Soul when and if you are ready.

What do we mean by Mind-Body-Spirit-Soul?

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to healing. We are complex beings made up of mind-body-spirit-soul, and when something is troubling us in one area, it can manifest as symptoms in another. This is why it is so important to understand the range of healing therapies and practitioners available and to find the ones that resonate with you.

By understanding the importance of all elements of our being, we can begin to heal the whole self.

What our members are saying

    For me, I found that there was no one place where I could truly share my thoughts and feelings. I would share photos of my baby girl on social media, but felt that people were getting sick of seeing it, or perhaps sick of the constant reminders of grief and sadness. They wanted to go back to seeing happiness on their news feeds. Sarz Sanctuary provides me with a place…

    Carly - 2022

    Talking with Mark & Julie is a healing in itself. They are both so kind, caring and inspirational. The loss they have suffered has led them to a place that no-one should ever be. Through their journey of healing they have tried many different therapies, I have been lucky enough to share some of these experiences with them. Art Therapy, Yoga, Mindfulness Meditation and Equine Therapy with the beautiful horses Flynn & Ellie. Everyones journey of grief is different, there is not right or wrong. To have all these healing tools available in the one place, when some days it’s just hard to take that next breath or step is a wonderful gift. Thank you Mark & Julie for your endless hard work and passion to help others. Your angel Sarz will be beaming with pride.
