Hi, I'm Saskia
Therapist. Speaker. Teacher. Burnout Specialist.
I help women understand themselves, challenge what no longer fits, and make more intentional choices about how they want to live.
I’m Saskia Stallings, LCSW, a therapist, trauma and burnout specialist, speaker, teacher, and creator of the Beyond Survival™ Method.
For the past 15 years, I’ve helped people understand the patterns beneath the things they struggle with—because I’m not only interested in what you’re doing. I want to understand why it keeps happening and what’s underneath it.
My work brings together clinical experience, advanced trauma training, intuition, and lived experience as a mother of seven, wife and caregiver, and business owner.
I help women recognize the patterns keeping them exhausted, overwhelmed, and stuck in survival mode, and begin doing something different.
Because I don’t want to help you become better at coping with a life that isn’t working.
I want to help you understand what’s underneath it and change it.
Your life belongs to you. 💜
Speaking
Speaking has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started speaking publicly when I was young, earning both the Value Trophy and Spirit of Greatness Trophy for speaking on topics that mattered deeply to me.
Since then, I’ve spoken at summits, retreats, workshops, organizations, and events, and have appeared on radio shows and podcasts. Whether I’m speaking to a small group or a large audience, I bring energy, honesty, humor, intuition, and more than 25 years of experience working with people.
I love taking complicated topics and making them understandable, relatable, and useful. I’m especially good at helping people see the patterns underneath what they’re experiencing and getting to the root of what may actually be driving them.
The Beyond Survival™ Community
You were never meant to spend your whole life just surviving it.
Beyond Survival™ is a community for women who are tired of carrying too much, putting themselves last, and holding everything together while quietly running on empty.
Inside, we look at the patterns underneath burnout and survival mode—where they came from, why they keep showing up, and how to begin doing something different.
Through live coaching, practical tools, trainings, and a community of women who understand, you’ll begin putting down what was never yours to carry and making more room for you.
You don’t have to keep carrying everything by yourself.
Why Join Beyond Survival™?
Because knowing you’re burned out doesn’t necessarily tell you how to change what’s keeping you there.
Beyond Survival™ is a place to understand the patterns underneath the over-functioning, guilt, people-pleasing, hyper-independence, and constant pressure to hold everything together—and begin practicing something different.
Inside, you’ll learn how to recognize your patterns, get to the root of what’s driving them, set boundaries, put down what isn’t yours to carry, and make more room for yourself and your life.
And you won’t have to figure it out alone. You’ll have support, live coaching, practical tools, ongoing trainings, and a community of women who get it.
Beyond Survival™ isn’t about becoming better at surviving.
It’s about learning how to live differently.
