I'm Sarah 'Sassy' Smith, founder of the Aphantasia Academy and a specialist coach for people living with aphantasia and associated conditions.
As someone with multisensory aphantasia, no inner monologue and severely deficient autobiographical memory, I deeply understand the emotional and practical challenges we face when presented with professionals and places that don't know about us.
Through coaching and specialised accredited training, I help people to navigate aphantasia with confidence and clarity.
Read More About SassyWhat is aphantasia?
Aphantasia is the inability to create mental imagery. People with aphantasia cannot 'see' pictures in their mind's eye and many also experience challenges with autobiographical memory, inner speech and emotional connection. Whether newly discovering aphantasia or navigating it for years, specialised support can make all the difference.
