SADARI™
Meaning-Centered Wellness
Sadari is a wellness and education company offering programs designed to restore identity, emotional wellbeing and meaning for adults and families.
What is Sadari?
Sadari™ is a meaning-centered wellness approach designed to help people reconnect with who they are beyond age, illness, or life circumstances.
Periods of change can affect identity, confidence and emotional wellbeing. Sadari™ provides a structured way to explore personal experience through guided reflection, imagery and narrative-based practices. The goal is not to change who someone is, but to support continuity, helping individuals recognize their values, experiences and sense of self across life transitions.
Sadari™ programs are designed for individuals, families and community settings, including senior living environments, and can be used independently or with supportive facilitation.

How Sadari™ Works
Sadari™ programs combine structured reflection with accessible tools that individuals can engage with at their own pace. The approach is designed to be supportive without pressure, allowing participants to explore experiences in ways that feel comfortable and meaningful.
Programs may include:
-
Self-guided modules that introduce reflective themes and prompts
-
Journals and written exercises that support personal exploration
-
Audio and video experiences that guide reflection and imagery
-
Meaning-centered practices that encourage integration and self-understanding
This combination of structure and flexibility allows Sadari™ to be used independently, with family members or within facilitated community environments.
Sadari™ was created from a recognition that emotional wellbeing is closely connected to identity and meaning.
Across the lifespan, people encounter transitions that can reshape how they see themselves— changes in health, roles, independence, relationships or life direction. During these periods, individuals may feel uncertainty, loss of confidence or disconnection from the person they have always known themselves to be. Yet beneath those changes, a sense of identity and continuity remains. Sadari™ was developed to support individuals in reconnecting with that continuity.
The approach integrates guided reflection, imagery and narrative-based practices into structured programs that are accessible, adaptable and appropriate for both personal use and community environments. Rather than focusing on symptoms or performance, Sadari™ centers on self-understanding, dignity and quality of life.
Sadari™ is not therapy and does not replace clinical care. It is a wellness and education framework designed to complement existing support by addressing the human need for meaning, identity and personal coherence.
At its core, Sadari™ reflects a simple principle: people benefit from opportunities to understand their experiences, integrate change and recognize themselves as whole, regardless of age or circumstance.

Christina Cha Lemberger
Founder, Sadari™ & Chief Wellness Officer
Christina Cha Lemberger is the founder of Sadari™ and creator of The Sadari Method™, a meaning-centered wellness framework designed to support identity, emotional wellbeing, and quality of life across life transitions.
She is a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach with training in integrative imagery and multiple areas of wellness science, and she previously worked as a corporate communications executive. Her professional background combines strategic leadership with a deep interest in human development, resilience, and personal meaning.
Christina’s work was shaped by a personal experience: losing her mother to early-onset dementia. During her mother’s time in assisted living, she observed how easily the emotional and inner lives of individuals can become overshadowed by medical and logistical care, and how strongly people continue to need connection, identity, and dignity regardless of cognitive or physical change.
This experience led her to study wellness, longevity, nervous system health, and identity development across disciplines. She later integrated these insights into The Sadari Method™, with the goal of creating programs and experiences that support the whole person — not only physical needs, but emotional and existential wellbeing as well.
