My Clients Say
Before my sessions with Sahara, I was carrying chronic stiffness in my neck and shoulders that I had simply learned to accept. From the very first session, the experience was profoundly different from any other bodywork I’ve tried. Lying fully clothed, Sahara guided my body with gentle, listening movements that felt incredibly relaxing. I could actually feel stuck energy—both emotional and physical—begin to move and release, culminating in a deep sense of lightness and ease that lasted long after I left.
What truly sets the Ilan Lev Method apart is its ability to facilitate deep change without force. It’s not just about working on muscles; it’s a dialogue with the nervous system that releases what your body no longer needs. The most significant shift for me has been the lasting release in my neck and shoulders—the tightness is simply gone. This work provided not just temporary relief but a genuine breakthrough, leaving me feeling less stuck and more vitally connected to my body’s natural flow.
Sahara is a gifted and intuitive practitioner. Her kindness and supportive nature immediately put me at ease, making the entire experience feel both nurturing and safe. She has a wonderful ability to hold a space that is both profoundly healing and genuinely fun. I cannot recommend her and the Ilan Lev Method highly enough for anyone seeking to release pain and rediscover a sense of vitality in an affordable and transformative way.

" Last year, during Richard’s final year of life, when very little movement was available to him, Sahara continued weekly treatments and the impacts of their time together are immeasurable. Sahara celebrated the person Richard was in every moment, rather than focusing on his decline."

“I am a physical theatre artist and mother.
I started working with Sahara just before I became pregnant with my first child.
I was instantly changed by the work,
the experience and Sahara’s approach.
I continued to see Sahara through my pregnancy and feel confident that
the work was a significant part of my pain free pregnancy. Chronic back issues vanished quickly and I started to have a conversation with my body that continues to evolve and deepen my experience of my entire being.
I have recently relocated outside of the Toronto area and miss my sessions with Sahara, though I have enjoyed connecting with her on line and look forward to opportunities to continue this life changing work from a distance."

"Sahara is an incredibly intuitive and attuned practitioner. Receiving Ilan Lev method treatments from her has really opened up ways of being and moving that remind me of potential space and deep awareness that is available for exploration and support.
Her joy for the method is infectious and inspiring. She is truly gifted and such an authentic human and invests such care and intention in her practice. "

“Sahara Morimoto introduced me to ILM treatments for which I am so grateful. She helped me through many emotional and physical struggles with empathy and humour.
I felt energized and relaxed after each session – an unique and wonderful combination.

“Sahara has an infectious excitement towards the healing modality of the Ilan Lev Method.
If you have a joint or a limb that is not flowing energy, she will find it.
I was able to map my body for remaining tension of old injuries.
I walked out of the treatment feeling light and energized in my body.
It was a treat to be treated by Sahara who has a dance background to appreciate the bodies capabilities taking great care and compassion as a practitioner.
