Everyone deserves someone in their corner, and I am here to support you.
I’m Sara.
You can think of me as a wise and playful aunty, a neighborhood sports mom, an uninhibited friend who wears her heart on her sleeve (with boundaries), or your witchy neighbor who talks to animals and plants and spends much of her time in the woods.
I am all of that, plus a long-time teacher, writing tutor, and after-school program coordinator.
And a dancer (tap, jazz, and now Ecstatic - since 1988!)
And a healer (Usui Reiki with Paula Terrero of Sacred Spring Reiki Collective; Earth-based Feminist Shamanic Healing and Sacred Mysteries with True Earth and ShuNahSii Rose, in the lineage of Keewaydinoquay Peschel; Integrative Healer with Sun Shen Modern School of Mysticism and Master Daniel Kim, in the lineage of Gabriel Chin).
And a mother (I chose a wild & free pregnancy with homebirth midwives. Dear daughter was born June of 2010!)
Becoming a mother while my own mother was dying of cancer was the deepest of initiations.
I have learned to swim in the depths, and build my own flashlight.
I bring deep listening, keen observation, & warm and genuine care into all my interactions.
In my world, all needs matter, and no one gets left behind.
“Sara’s exceptionally talented and cares deeply about the work she does. I highly recommend working with her.”
“As a mother of pre-teen and teenage children, having you on my support team is a sigh of relief! Thank you for your creative, brave and much needed wisdom.”
I am a holistic sex educator by training, a sexual harm prevention specialist by calling, and a now thriving survivor of multiple forms of sexual violence.
I support survivors of sexual violence & domestic violence to recover their shine.
Through open mics, healing circles, retreats, embodiment practices, spiritual counseling, trauma-informed chi gong, acupressure, dance, guided visualization, meditation, prayer, journaling, addiction recovery + harm reduction modalities, informed psychedelic use, connection to flowers and the natural world, relationship skill-building, and referrals to other practitioners, I help survivors design a personalized ecosystem of healing and recovery so that they can thrive after trauma.
In my personal time, I practice tai chi and chi gung, express my soul through poetry and dance, build community with other healers and radically unconventional folks in The Modern Village, walk and play with my dogs, and find fulfillment connecting with kindred spirits in human, animal, plant, rocky, grassy, dirt and water forms :)
